Half of the world population consists of women, half of the Dutch population consists of women, half of the clients of the Financial Services companies consist of women, half of the employees of the financial services companies consist of women. So, why doesn’t half of the leadership in Financial Services companies consists of women?
In the Netherlands, progress in shifting the status quo to the 50/50 balance is too slow.
That's why WIFS and Deloitte have joined forces in to Accelerate 50/50.
How will we make that shift?
In this first episode of this mini podcast 'Accelerate 50/50: the series' Mirelle van Gemert, Sanne Welzen and Hayat Douich talk about the motives that drive both WIFS and Deloitte, as well as what they hope to achieve from this research.
The rest of the series Mirelle van Gemert will speak with executives of several companies within the Financial Services Industry who are participating in the research.
Looking for some inspiration and fresh perspective on the topic of gender inclusive leadership during the winter holidays?
In this newly recorded WIFS podcast, esteemed gender inclusivity experts Mary Jane Roy, Robert Baker, Sonya Richardson and Andre Knol, who are all contributors to the recently published book 'Ready for female leadership: The future is now!', share their views on how men can be allies in the transition to gender inclusive workplaces, and what truly gender-inclusive leadership qualities look like.
These two themes are very relevant for WIFS' ambition to achieve a 50/50 balance in the financial sector. The podcast therefore gives a lot to think about in terms of the role individuals can play in effectuating balanced leadership.
We hope you will enjoy listening to this podcast!
Het jonge, ondernemende geluid van WIFS. Dat hoor je in deze derde podcast, waarin bestuurslid Lievijne Neuteboom in gesprek is met Anouk Schaap. Lievijne en Anouk kennen elkaar van Young WIFS, dat inmiddels onderdeel is van WIFS.
Anouk begon op haar 25e in de financiële sector. Inmiddels heeft zij haar eigen bedrijf en werkt zij als leiderschapscoach en trainer. Ook spreekt ze regelmatig voor publiek over dit onderwerp. Hoe heeft zij de overstap van manager naar het ondernemerschap ervaren? Hoe is zij gekomen tot dit succesvolle bedrijf, waarbinnen feminiene waarden centraal staan? Dat en meer deelt zij in deze podcast. En natuurlijk horen we haar visie op gebalanceerd leiderschap.
In deze podcast spreken Mirelle van Gemert en Fionnuala Herder-Wynne over vrouwelijk leiderschap. En ze delen het nieuws: binnenkort start het leiderschapsprogramma van WIFS.
Mirelle en Fionnuala hebben het over hoe vrouwelijke power in leiderschap het verschil maakt en hoe het de wereld beter maakt.
Waar het volgens Fionnuala om draait bij vrouwelijk leiderschap? Ze vertelt: “We are out of balance. To restore this, we need to be able to strengthen the feminine voice, to balance the masculine. For me the essence of feminine leadership is an understanding of that shift, from ‘power over’ … to ‘power to create’."
Mirelle van Gemert is bestuurslid van WIFS. Fionnuala Herder-Wynne is partner van de RedZebra Group, Fellow of Oxford Leadership en dialoog facilitator voor het European Leadership Platform.
We moeten meer oog hebben voor het grotere geheel en ons meer richten op de lange termijn, in plaats van de korte. Juist de focus op de lange termijn en compassie zijn de essentie van vrouwelijke power, die zowel in mannen als vrouwen zit.
Bij WIFS zetten we ons al sinds 2009 in voor meer vrouwelijke power in de financiële sector. In deze podcast is Diana Zandbergen, voorzitter van WIFS, in gesprek met Nicolette Loonen, die WIFS heeft opgericht.
The podcast currently has 10 episodes available.
