WISE is a leadership development programme designed to strengthen strategic confidence, boardroom readiness, and international perspective. About the Program WISE (Women in Strategic Engagement) is a leadership development programme designed to strengthen strategic confidence, boardroom readiness, and international perspective. Through expert-led sessions, practical frameworks, and peer exchange, WISE supports women who are ready to step into more visible and influential leadership roles. The programme focuses on how decisions are made, how power and governance work, and how leaders can position themselves effectively in complex organisational and international environments. WISE is available in two formats: In-person (Netherlands) – a cohort-based programme with live sessions only WISE Online (Global) – a flexible blended learning track for international participants Choose the format that fits your context, without compromising ambition. Highlights Comprehensive leadership development: covering personal leadership identity, strategy, finance, governance and decision-making. Expert-led learning and peer exchange: sessions are delivered by experienced professionals and enriched by dialogue with a diverse, international cohort. Boardroom and strategic focus: designed to prepare participants for senior leadership, board-level discussions and high-impact roles. Button Why choose WISE? Many talented women reach senior levels with strong expertise, but without the same exposure, confidence, or strategic space as their peers. WISE is designed to bridge that gap. The programme focuses on: Developing a strong leadership identity Understanding how boards, governance and decision-making work Building financial and strategic confidence Navigating power, influence and negotiation Operating effectively in international and cross-cultural settings WISE is not about teaching women how to “fit in”; it is about strengthening strategic voice, presence and positioning. WISE in numbers Based on participant evaluations 83% of participants say WISE increased their confidence as a leader 100% report an improved understanding of governance and strategic decision-making 100% found the programme useful or extremely useful This program is for women who know they have a lot to bring to the boardroom and want help making others see it too — while building skills and a strong, supportive network along the way " - Jamie Holton What I appreciated most about WISE was the combination of strategic depth, entrepreneurial learnings, and high-quality peer dialogue. The programme reinforced my leadership confidence and sharpened how I approach decision-making in both corporate and entrepreneurial contexts " - Andrea Cardoso My experience with Programme Wise was highly enriching. The expertise of the trainers, the quality of the modules content, and the interaction with my peers made it extremely valuable for both my personal and professional development, and I will actively apply the knowledge gained in my professional life " - Marianna De Ieso Thrilled to be contributing to a new cycle of the WISE programme for the International Chamber of Commerce. The multi-disciplinary modules, opportunities for peer learning and international mix of participants makes this programme truly distinctive in empowering women in their leadership journey. Looking forward to leading the first modules! " - Helen Tubb Developing a boardroom mindset is about much more than mastering governance tools. It is about building trust, communicating with clarity and assertiveness, and navigating conflict with emotional intelligence. By strengthening self-awareness, focusing on influence rather than concern, and embracing constructive dialogue, leaders create boardrooms where confidence, inclusion, and sound decision-making can truly flourish. " - Pauline Six Here's what I wish someone had told me years ago: Your strength isn't in knowing all the answers. Your strength is in telling the story only YOU can tell about your business. Stop trying to sound like the accountant in the room. Be the founder. Be the leader. Be you. This workshop teaches you how to do that so powerfully that your board members stop interrupting and start approving. " - Muriel Mosango Want to know more? Leave your details and we will contact you! Your name* Company name Email* Join "I started with dedicated pioneers: we broke the glass-ceiling by creating equality-laws, thus paving the road for female access to top decision-making roles. This was followed by women who had made it all (industrialists, investors, managers),who decided to mentor female talents in order to help them overcome the obstacles to the top. And now it is the turn of WISE, offering a program aimed at empowering female talent to excel in leadership. So: seize the opportunity to make dreams become true!” Viviane Reding, former First Vice President European Commission has served as an elected member of national and European Parliaments for 25 years.
