HIP Carousel: International Women at Work Event

​Heidelberg International Professional Women (HIP) held an event during the Frauen Wirtschafts Tage called the HIP Carousel: International Women at Work. It took place on Saturday, October 17th, 2015. HIP organized the event to encourage the exchange of experiences and achievements among women who had started their own businesses or who held leadership positions in different fields including science, research and academia. 

The event’s goal was to support and encourage all women to strive for their own definition of success.  I participated as an entrepreneur and had a table at the event to talk to people about my enterprise –Bauenglish - who I am, a Business English and Presentation Trainer, and whom I serve; corporate employers in the Rhein – Neckar region.  The event went from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm and it was such a rush of positive energy.   The motivation and success, as well as the struggles of the women who shared their stories throughout the event will encourage me to continue to follow my own path and to encourage others to do the same as well.  I hope HIP continues to do these kinds of events.
