Empowering the Next Generation: Advocating for Equal Pay, Leadership, and Networking at Burghausen University

Today, 8th July 2024, my colleague and LTW alumna Veronika Lägel and I, both members of BPW Germany, gave a lecture at the university in Burghausen on equal pay, leadership, and networking. The students were very engaged, asking many questions and participating in a lively dialogue.

One of our key points was that unequal pay has structural roots and cannot simply be attributed to individual women lacking negotiation skills. We also emphasized the importance of networking and building personal connections, especially in the current information age, where strong networks can provide valuable resources and mentoring to support career advancement.

We also took the opportunity to introduce BPW Europe, and a Young BPW representative, Anna Zimmermann, gave a brief video speech.

The students showed great interest in the upcoming Leadership Training for Women (LTW), scheduled for 4th, 11th, and 18th October 2024.
