For female leaders ready to shape the future of top management

Women are redefining leadership through inclusive leadership, transformational leadership, and strong values-driven decision-making. Our Female Network connects senior women who want to expand their strategic influence, whether that means board ambitions, leading cross-functional teams, or elevating their voice at the executive table.

In this network, you explore how authentic leadership, empathetic communication, and relationship management can drive innovation and create more psychologically safe, high-performing organisations. This is the place to challenge norms, build confidence for women on boards, and unlock your next career step with support from peers who understand the journey.

Women in Leadership – Top Management

What you get from being a member

Concrete insights, honest feedback, and decisions that hold up in reality

When you become part of an EGN network, you get a confidential forum where leaders at your level share experiences, test high-risk decisions, and find solutions that work in practice.

The meetings are led by a professional network facilitator and provide concrete insights, honest feedback, and new perspectives you can use immediately.

Confidential space without conflicts of interest

Here you can share doubts and half-formed thoughts with leaders who have no financial or political interests in your company. Everything stays in the room.

A place to test decisions before they have consequences

Test your high-risk decisions with leaders who have been there before. Avoid the mistakes others have already made.

Perspective on what you're too close to

You're too close to your own challenges. Get perspective from leaders in other industries who see what you cannot.

A place to share the burden

You don't need to have all the answers alone. Leaders at your level understand the pressure in a way your team and board cannot.

Matched group, professionally facilitated

Leaders in non-competing roles, selected for their experience and willingness to contribute honestly. The facilitator maintains the structure so you spend time on what matters.

Solutions from reality, not just theory

Leaders share decisions from their everyday work. Real consequences, real numbers, real learning you can use directly.

A professional peer advisory group built on confidentiality and experience

Our groups bring together leaders who dare to talk about the difficult things and share what works. You get a safe space with mutual respect, where genuine experience and reflection lead to development both professionally and personally.

Without an EGN membership

What you're missing isn't just advice, but the experiences that can make your decisions sharper and your leadership easier.

  • You stand alone with the big decisions
  • You think, "am I the only one experiencing this?"
  • You spend time inventing solutions others already know
  • You lack a place where you can be completely honest
  • You don't see the blind spots holding you back
  • Your goals lose direction because no one keeps you on track

The leaders who thrive aren’t the ones with all the answers; they’re the ones who know where to find them. Stop solving alone what others have already figured out.

With an EGN membership

Decades of combined experience become your competitive advantage in every single meeting.

  • Leaders who know your challenges and have found the way forward
  • Honest conversations that save you from mistakes and wasted time
  • A safe forum where vulnerability becomes strength
  • Perspectives that challenge your way of thinking
  • Accountability that keeps you focused on what really matters
  • Meetings facilitated with focus on insight and action

The admission process

How to become a member

The transition from initial interest to participating in your first meeting can happen relatively quickly. Here are the three most important steps in the process.

  • Is there a match?

    Is there a match?

    You start by filling out a short form. Then one of our network advisors calls you for an informal chat. Together you figure out which group best suits you and what you want to get out of the network.

  • The group is informed

    The group is informed

    The relevant group is informed that you wish to join. Here members have the opportunity to object if conflicts of interest could arise. However, this rarely happens and is only used in very special cases.

  • Getting started in the group

    Getting started in the group

    Once you’re admitted, you have a brief conversation with the group’s network facilitator before your first meeting. Here you gain insight into the group’s culture and framework, and how you as a new member can best benefit from and contribute to the community.

It starts with a conversation

Let’s find your perfect match

We believe that strong relationships create strong results. That’s why we invite you to a personal conversation, where we talk about your career, your goals, and the groups where you will benefit the most.

We walk through the process step by step, give you insight into what you can expect, and answer all your questions. The goal is to ensure that you get a Peer Group that fits you perfectly.
