Sustainable and collaborative learning
Lifelong learning is essential for our future. The half-life of knowledge is constantly decreasing due to digitalization, and 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 might not even exist today.
People learn most effectively through experience and on three levels simultaneously: toolset, skillset, and mindset. Because if we do something ourselves, reflect on it in small, diverse groups, and receive feedback from others for implementation and further development, and if this "doing it differently" benefits us, then we stick with it.

#FrauenStärken Learning Programs
It is our heartfelt desire to make this world a better place than we currently experience it. Empowering, supporting, connecting, and increasing the visibility of women so they can be themselves with all their talents and abilities is one way to achieve this.
Our #FrauenStärken programs are not only aimed at women, but at all people who want to strengthen themselves and the parts of their abilities that are more readily associated with the feminine, and to use them more consciously. We all have masculine and feminine aspects within us, and it is important to use both in order to be ourselves.
Because we can only master our future and the constant changes together, if we combine our potential, knowledge, and experience. #FrauenStärken - for a clear ME in a stronger WE! #BetterTogether.
We currently offer the following #FrauenStärken programs
The focus of the #FrauenStärken powered by WOL is on empowering women and people perceived as female to strengthen themselves, support other women, and further develop more feminine skills.

This #FrauenStärken program is a virtual online compact course focusing on strategic networking. In short units, it demonstrates the basics of networking: how good relationships are built, how strategic networking works online and offline, how we can increase our own visibility, and how we can become more effective through networking.
Who is this program for?
For women and people perceived as female who feel insecure or inhibited when it comes to strategic networking. Who want to reflect on and change their own beliefs in this regard.

Those who stop wanting to improve have stopped being good.
