Leadership is not a position but a passion.
Great Leaders give a vision, inspire and motivate.

BIRGIT ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Birgit manages work-life balance by setting clear limits and priorities, engaging in sports, and occasionally saying no to manage her mental health. She values a supportive partnership and an organized schedule to stay resilient.
BIRGIT ON CAREER CHALLENGES
Birgit faced challenges transitioning from being seen as a woman to a mother in her professional setting, struggling with how she was perceived and treated post-maternity leave. She worked doubly hard to prove her worth, nearly leading to burnout until the pandemic allowed her time to rebalance and regain her confidence.
EVERY CHALLENGE IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND GROW.
