“What ultimately defines you as an individual is what you say no to – not what you say yes to,” says Prof. Kleyn. “And it’s not just what you say no to strategically but, more importantly, what you say no to when it comes to your values.”
As a powerful storyteller, Prof. Kleyn will talk about the choices women make in their professional journey. The webinar will include an interactive session and will be hosted by Professor Hanneke Takkenberg, co-Executive Director of the Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations.
The webinar ‘What we say yes and no to’ will take place on Thursday 28 January 2021.
