Women Who Lead
Welcome to Women Who Lead
Following the overwhelming success of our women's networking events in the summer and autumn, being published in The Portugal News and a growing mailing list, it's clear there is a strong desire to build a vibrant professional community for women in Portugal.
I'm Natalie Turner, Founder of Women Who Lead (WWL) - a community dedicated to the personal and professional development of professional women. Since launching WWL in 2011, I've had the privilege of cultivating thriving networks across Asia Pacific, from Bali to Singapore.
This is your chance to take an active role in building a community that champions your growth. Whether you're seeking inspiration, connection or the chance to give back, Women Who Lead has something meaningful to offer.
So, join us and let's unlock our individual and collective leadership potential.
A great event! It was a fantastic opportunity to meet women from different countries and industries...the organisation was faultless and the quality of discussions we had was fantastic. The atmosphere brought out the best in everyone who attended.
Natalie's hosting was a definite highlight.
