On Tuesday, July 7th, 2015 Women in Leadership (WIL) Member Isabelle Roux-Chenu, Group General Counsel of Capgemini held, in partnership with the National Diversity Council, a great event in Paris as part of the Capgemini gender balance program she is leading called Women@Capgemini. The evening event, focused on ‘Boldness and Creativity as drivers of success’ and featured 4 great panel speakers, including WIL Board Member Katherine Corich, Founder and Group Chair, Sysdoc.

A dynamic session, the event discussed with the panellists some of their boldest moments in their careers so far and how, now that they are at the top, they manage to incorporate gender balance into their organizations and continue to be bold and creative in leadership. With many inspiring stories from different backgrounds including perspectives from the private sector, a large NGO, and from an entrepreneur, common themes emerged- which included: ‘walking the talk’, making values a key part of the business, and believing in yourself and your abilities.

The panelists further shared anecdotes of their own experiences and their reasons for being bold in their careers; like for example following their values and personal priorities vs. hierarchical advancement; correcting issues impacting the bottom-line such as gender balance and diversity - and thus taking on the implementation of true gender equality practices within their companies; changing the way ‘business’ is conducted by letting products and services speak for themselves vs. dining out with clients as dictated by the traditional model of ‘doing business’. Overall, each panellist expressed the paths they followed and how, when and why they had been bold and creative within their personal and professional lives. All of which resulted in many great successes for the panellists, and positioned them at the top of their organizations. Closing the discussion, WIL Board Member Katherine Corich reminded all women to know their personal and professional worth and to negotiate their careers with confidence based on this knowledge.

Women@Capgemini and WIL Member Isabelle Roux-Chenu are regularly conducting sessions on the theme of women in business. Keep an eye on your inboxes for information from WIL on these great activities conducted by our sponsor!
