I Learn form you, you learn from me
What we stand for.
We don’t believe in better or different, man or woman, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation because talent is in people, not in categories. As Experts in balanced teams, we look at the future with both eyes open: I learn from you, you learn from me, and together we make a difference for now and for future generations.
About us
"More women in top positions."
That was the driving force in 2010 when Elles van Teylingen founded Women in Sales. She noticed that relatively few women were advancing to or being hired for top positions. Additionally, the female sales talent pool was limited, with the focus primarily on diversity within C-level and board positions.
In 2020, we expanded with multiple labels, including Women in Finance, Women in Technics, Women in Welding, and Women in Consultancy.
The use of balanced teams is now more relevant than ever. Numerous studies show that a balanced team performs better and increases profitability. We achieve this by addressing business-economic challenges and determining the best approaches.
Balanced teams are better aligned with customer needs, have a deeper understanding of markets, and achieve a higher market share.
We stand for the optimal and sustainable employability of all employees, leveraging the diverse talents of our professionals and individuals.
"When women do better, economies do better."
-Christine Lagarde, President van de Europese Centrale Bank-
