Inclusion Now

At WoMen in Finance Belgium, we strive to create meaningful spaces where women can connect, share, and grow together. One participant shared their experience from our recent Imposter Syndrome workshop, and it really stuck with us: “The imposter syndrome is very real for many women, including myself. This workshop is so valuable in recognizing the signs, sharing and hearing stories from others, and learning about strategies to deal with it. What helped me personally is to identify the emotions the syndrome triggered and how to use these to discover my underlying self-limiting beliefs.” Imposter syndrome doesn’t discriminate—it affects both men and women—and overcoming it requires intentional effort. Workshops like ours go beyond just checking the box. They’re about honest conversations, practical tools, and building a community where no one feels alone in their challenges. 🌱 We’re incredibly thankful for the trust and openness of our participants, and we’re looking forward to continuing these important discussions in our 2025 webinars. 💬 💡 Want to join us? Stay connected for updates on our upcoming sessions—we’d love to have you in the room. #ImposterSyndrome #AuthenticConnections #ProfessionalGrowth #Empowerment

Let’s be honest—facilitating DEI conversations isn’t easy. Whether it’s overcoming organizational resistance, gaining buy-in from leadership, or creating actual inclusive spaces at work, the challenges are real and difficult. That’s why Module 1 of our DEI Facilitator Masterclass starts by focusing on you. As instructor Dominique Bergiers (She/her) puts it: “It’s about looking inwards—your values, biases, and experiences with inclusion and exclusion.” And as Michele Mees adds “Self-awareness is where it all begins. It’s the key to leading impactful conversations.” This module is all about exploring your foundations—your integrity, values, and identity—and using them to strengthen your potential impact as you inspire change in your team.
