The Career Woman, the Mother, the Visionary – feminine inspiration

I had the opportunity to attend a conference organized by Caroline Codsi on "Women in Governance" with Maggie Henriquez, CEO at KRUG (LVMH) in France.

Maggie Henriquez is a woman who "turns companies around brilliantly and enables them to emerge from crisis stronger than ever."

Here are the lessons I took from it, organized in three dimensions.


The Career Woman

  • Love giving to others
  • Have an enormous social conscience
  • Know and understand the company's culture
  • Have a deep desire to find quick solutions
  • Find a unique way of presenting information
  • Accept mistakes with humility
  • Stay authentic and true to your values
  • Set healthy boundaries
  • Work with clients
  • Develop products adapted to the crisis
  • Do not feed the ego

The Mother

  • Do not feel guilty
  • Do things with common sense and love
  • Understand your children
  • Listen

The Visionary

  • Magic does not exist, you must work with awareness
  • Do not stray from your values
  • Work according to values: Respect, Gratitude, Generosity, Depth
  • Be responsible for your life and your team

"The key to growth is not to have a vision of the future, but to live fully what you are doing today."


I am deeply grateful to these inspiring women who are contributing to changing the future of women — one conference, one conversation, one decision at a time.
