At the event we were looking for inspiration on how to follow our passions and do what we love. We heard from inspiring speakers and panellists about tips and insights on how to successfully and painlessly change industries, or even start your career all over again in Switzerland.
We were thrilled to open the event with a keynote speech from Melanie Schweickardt (stage name: Blazy Flash), songwriter and lead singer of the rock band Beyond Frequencies. Mel is a former marketing executive who, before her comeback with Beyond Frequencies in 2020, was told several times that she was too old to return to the music world.
She proved them all wrong 💥
After hearing from Mel, we had two panels:
A panel focused on personal stories of transition, full of tips on getting and navigating interviews, overcoming fear of rejection and uncertainty, building a professional network and more!
Our speakers: Melanie Schweickardt, Valentina Coco, Anna Stentella
A panel discussion on initiatives to help women navigate career changes. Our audience learned about 3 different programmes designed to equip them with everything they need for their next career move.
Our speakers: Evgeniya Vodolazova, Hilda N. Liswani, Kristin Fuchs
