Wow! I felt privileged to be sitting among all those smart women!
We were about 200 women from four Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. All participants with some kind of a link to women entrepreneurship. Most of us were entrepreneurs, but there were also top researchers, developers from public sector - all experts in doing, sharing, supporting!
Two days full of talk and laughter - and some zumba in between!
It is always as amazing to hear stories as told by the doers themselves: success stories, misfortune stories, survival stories - one thing in common in all of them. Find your own way!
It was great to meet old friends and find new people to work with, to share experiences with, to share the feeling of understanding, support and faith in the future.
As Marienhamn (capital of Åland) celebrates it's 150 years of existence, we also had the honour of having the President of Finland as a guest in the conference. She is great! Doing zumba with the rest of us, and quite obviously enjoying it. Her speech was to the point and her views surely encourage us to carry on with the work we are doing - each and everyone of us!
Some material of the conference will be published in the internet, so please google "att välja sin väg" to learn more about the great women of the north!
The whole trip to Åland, my first one, was great, energizing and rewarding!
Have fun and be good!
