Growing a profession internationally; Challenges & Considerations
EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT
Ian will share a perspective on the challenges of international membership growth and a need to keep entry standards up to date in a fast-changing world. Approaches to education, training, and the needs of professions are different globally. What unites nearly all professions are the challenges we are facing from changing industry needs, the impact of technology and data, and the importance of lifelong learning. How best to respond to those challenges, support people into the profession, and deliver a positive social impact?
Speakers

Advisory Director EACD
European Association of Communication DirectorsInge Wallage is a change maker and senior communications leader who pursued a career in the private sector before making the leap from the oil industry to environmental campaigning. That move sustained her continuous drive to contribute to a better world; a green and peaceful one. She believes in the pivotal role of the communications function. In her 25 years of working life Inge has worked across all areas of communications and has witnessed its ongoing evolution. She held various in-house and agency roles, like the International Water Association, Greenpeace International, Statoil, Philips Electronics, Motorola and Burson-Marsteller. Inge works with the European Association of Communication Directors (EACD) in a consulting capacity as part-time Managing Director to contribute to the association’s next phase. She has lived in London, Norway and Bangkok. She believes that projects and programmes will truly come to life when working with people, inside and outside a company or organisation. She is trained in the method and philosophy of Deep Democracy, which aims to get everyone involved (‘listen to the minority’) and to find ways to turn resistance into a force for good. Inge advocates to work according to ‘The 3As engagement strategy’, a concept which she conceived which stands for authenticity, accountability and audacity; three elements critical to any organisational or business strategy. She is currently writing her first novel.

Membership Experience
Professional Women's NetworkI started my professional career in Financial Services and private equity, working in London, Brussels, Amsterdam and Lyon.
After 10+ years in the financial world I made a big lifestyle change and relocated to the Côte d'Azur where I initially took some time-out to be a full-time mum and then owned and managed a small company in the electronics industry. My desire to mix with other like-minded women led me to join PWN Global as a member and I really appreciated the exchanges, learning and support this brought me during these exciting and challenging years. After stopping the business, I moved again to Lyon and joined the staff of PWN Global initially as Community Manager, moving on to focusing on the membership experience.
I am now based in Zurich, where I continue to work for the network. I am passionate about working with PWN Global Volunteers and Members to promote our mission and vision and making my contribution to a more gender balanced leadership for the next generation.

Strategic Marketing Tuesday @ 11:35 AM
Head of Marketing and Communications
Professional Women's NetworkAs a UK national, I worked as a senior marketing professional (Chartered MCIM) for 15 years in the UK (with assignments across Europe and the US). I have worked with venture capitalists, not for profits and SMEs, in the technology education and training market – responsible for directing marketing strategy to implementing tactical marketing and communications plans – and everything in between.
In 2010 I had the work-life balance debate and decided, with my family, to make a move to the sunny idyll of the Ardèche Gorges in SE France and set up a business as a freelance marketer. Through my freelance work, I joined PWN Global to help support their community management and flesh out their communications strategy. The more I researched the gender balanced leadership debate, the more I realised that I wanted to make this client my full time job. I took on the role of Head of Global Marketing and Communications so that I could really focus on communicating to the world about the varied range of conscious and sub-conscious barriers that exist for female leaders. I am driven by knowing that I am improving the professional world for the next generation of female leaders.
