I would like to encourage all men to become more vocal about gender equity.
A Toddler, A Pregnancy, and INSEAD
When I got accepted into INSEAD the first reaction I got when I told people, was “Who will take care of your child?” instead of “Congratulations! You can do it”. Then when I found out I was pregnant, and I chose not to defer, I was told all sorts of things, like “Think about your child, this is an impossible task, you cannot raise a toddler and be pregnant and do such an intense MBA, stop thinking you can do it all”.
The Kindness, Understanding and Collaborative Spirit of Female Leadership
A year at INSEAD allowed me to reflect deeply about female leadership. From discussions inside the INSEAD classroom to the incredible seminars hosted by the Women in Business Club, discussions on female leadership and gender equality are abundant.
Developing Female Leadership at INSEAD
INSEAD is a community that champions diversity and equality.
As a female student, I am amazed by the amount of female leadership emerging through events, projects, and collaborations.
Furthermore, the depth of discussions on gender equality, and the wonderful female role models we have in alumni and guest speakers is phenomenal.
#16 - Special Event - The Top Challenges in Navigating the MBA Application Process
INSEAD has four equally important application criteria that guide our selection of an exciting, dynamic and diverse student body.
The MBA Admissions team is looking for people with intellectual curiosity, personal qualities to contribute to the many INSEAD activities and a desire to stretch themselves in a rigorous academic programme. We welcome applications from around the world regardless of race, religion, gender, colour or financial status.
Men-ority report: INSEAD’s Women in Business Conference
INSEAD is a place packed with opportunities to learn. Every week, there are presentations, panels and workshops organised by the different Clubs and the Career Development Center. You can immerse yourself in different topics and industries, gaining insight and experience that will shape you personally and professionally. Here’s the catch… there’s a limited amount of time you have available to allocate, so you must choose how to spend it wisely.
Leading, and Not Lagging, at the INSEAD Women in Business Conference
Many subjects were discussed at the second annual INSEAD Women in Business (IWiB) conference, from diversity and gender balance to retention and engagement in the workplace.
Be Intentional About the Change We Want To See
I strongly believe that change will not happen with lip service and good intentions. This is exactly why I have taken it upon myself to be a catalyst for change by talking openly about my own actions at work. In doing so, I hope that others will be inspired in provoking change so that we take greater strides towards achieving gender equality.
