McKinsey & Company are dedicated to developing female leaders at every stage of your career. At university, there are amazing opportunities to inspire and lead, be it in student clubs, community groups, or at work.

Over three sessions, you will join a community of like-minded women to explore:

  • Meaning: Finding your purpose and leading with your strengths
  • Framing: Expanding your world view and overcoming setbacks
  • Connecting: Building a mutually supportive community
  • Engaging: Finding your voice and seizing opportunities
  • Energising: Recognising when and how to recharge your batteries

Who is the program designed for?

This program is ideal for you if:

  • You are a female university student in any discipline
