About this event: 

Shaping your dreams and making them come true requires hard work, discipline, and creativity to overcome obstacles. It’s about believing in your own vision, finding support and mentors, and committing to lifelong learning—all driven by purpose. In this engaging webinar, Sandra will share her inspiring story of navigating her professional journey, which has taken her across nine cities, five countries, and three continents. With valuable project management experience in academia, local government, and the business sector, Sandra will discuss how these elements can empower women in project management (WiPM) to reshape their own careers. Her insights will highlight the importance of community, collaboration, and mentorship within the WiPM network as we all work towards achieving our goals and supporting one another along the way.
