Portraits
We have portraits of inspiring women on Instagram and on here our site: women of all ages, origins, in all types of jobs in finance. The goal is to give women working in finance more visibility, to create role models to inspire young women (you cannot be what you cannot see) and to reduce stereotypes about working in finance. If you want to contribute to the portraits, send an email to info@womeninfinance.be to receive the template for the interview.
At this stage in my life, I see myself as a sponge—ready to absorb knowledge, experiences, and insights. I strive to evolve a little every day, both professionally and personally.
[Inclusive leadership is] about adopting a position in which you start with a presumption of competence: I don’t approach my colleagues with the preconception that they won’t be up to the job... No, I assume that people are competent and well-intentioned in their work. Some people will think that’s naivety. I say it’s inclusive realism.
Starting in finance doesn’t limit you: you can move into other areas within the company, as it opens doors.
Everyone has anxieties; don’t bother with it, just go for it, keep on moving and trust people will see you are a nice person that’s doing its best.
