FÉ x Café Celia - Edition 01

Open Space Day

During July, we hosted our first event in collaboration with Café Celia, a co-working space where we hold our mentoring sessions in Amsterdam and work weekly with team FÉ.

At our Open Space Day, we welcomed 30 female leaders from Antwerp, Ghent, Tilburg, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Amsterdam. Our guests, at various stages of their careers and from different backgrounds, shared a common goal: transitioning to the next step in their professional journeys. This shared ambition created a strong sense of connection among everyone.

During the Masterclass, we explored 'Navigating Self-Leadership & Building Your Development Plan.' This session mirrored the 1-to-1 mentoring program we offer. We focused on three key topics:

  • Reflection: Emphasizing the importance of looking back on highlights and challenges, extracting lessons from these experiences, and contemplating future objectives.

  • Planning: Transforming your objectives into an actionable plan is crucial. It's essential to have a clear vision of your goals and to break them down into actionable, attainable steps.

  • Habits: Developing supportive habits is vital for maintaining focus and direction, helping you stay on track with your actions..

We all enjoyed lunch together after the Masterclass, and the afternoon was flexible, allowing participants to choose activities that suited them best. They could co-work, develop their SMART goals together, connect with each other, or relax during the daily Social Hour at Café Celia with drinks and snacks.

Guests expressed their appreciation for being in a warm and welcoming environment that felt safe and supportive. They valued the educational aspects of the day and saw FÉ as more than just a mentorship program. It was described as a safe space for open sharing, fostering personal and professional growth, and creating a sense of sisterhood. Many felt inspired and more confident after the event.
