Prof. Dr. Eleonore Soei-Winkels teaches industrial and occupational psychology at FOM in Germany. She has won lecturing awards in 2017 & 2020 and was nominated as a "Professor of the year" in the unicum competition 3 times since 2016. She is the founder and CEO of postdoctransformation.com, helping PhD students to decide whether to become a sustainably visible professor or to transition their career into business with her self-paced e-courses.

Elli has a diploma in psychology and a PhD in Neuroscience. She is also a certified systemic management coach and has worked in IT consulting and strategy with Accenture.

Her passion is to develop people and to make them realize what they are able to accomplish. She uses her diverse background to teach students, leaders and professors through multi-didactic methods.

Today we talked about why it is so important to Elli to teach her students (many of whom may become HR professionals in the future) life skills and make them realize the importance of flexible work like job sharing and better understand what it takes to be a working parent.

We talked about upskilling, how a non-linear career will create learnings that will become helpful in the future and in general what it really takes to ensure that professionals have a work life balance given the current pandemic.

It was a fascinating conversation with Elli who is very knowledgable about so many topics and shared great insights from her work across IT, neuroscience, psychology and now as a professor.

Patricia Hirschnerová is this year's Forbes 30under30 and a proud mother of 2 under 2. She is a Nexteria Leadership Academy alumni on a mission to create win-win dialogues where they are most needed. Her passion for data-enabled conversations led her to a dream job in a tech startup. She then decided to take a career break when Eva, her first daughter was born. Knowing her employer is very open to flexible workers, she felt confident about taking the break and soon realized that in Slovakia, this scenario is still more of an exception than a rule. She then co-founded "Pracujuce mamy" (Working mothers) with Terezia Mihalikova where now a team of 6 is working with both companies and returning professionals to help them achieve win-win situations.
