Last week, I had the immense pleasure and honor of attending a fireside chat organized by the #higHer Network, which promotes Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, at Giesecke+Devrient in their Munich offices. The event featured an amazing guest speaker: Constanze Stelzenmüller. Constanze Stelzenmüller, one of the leading voices in transatlantic relations and global politics, shared her insights on the global political situation, the outcome of the U.S. elections, and the challenges and opportunities for women in leadership and their impact on politics. An afternoon full of learnings. A shocking fact from the latest UN Women report: as of October 2024, only 30 women serve as heads of state worldwide. At the current rate, it will take 130 years to achieve gender equality in politics and leadership as a whole. Financial well-being is more relevant than ever in every aspect of our lives. We need to focus on what echoes with people's realities and fears. We observe this daily in election results, our companies, our day-to-day activities, and discussions. Regarding transatlantic relations, much will depend on what happens after the handover at the end of January. A reminder to everyone: it is not the right time to fool around in politics. We all need to work on changing things for the better, keeping in mind that changing a habit takes time and energy. Science says the range can be from 18 to 254 days, depending on the habit. Heartfelt thanks to my friend Tina Proust for enjoying this event with me and making it a beautiful afternoon! Thank you for all the talks after the event. Thanks again to Constanze Stelzenmüller for sharing your time and invaluable perspective. Thank you to the team at Giesecke+Devrient for organizing such an inspiring event. Thank you to Larena Niekrawietz for an amazing moderation and to Philipp Schulte for your introductory words. #higHER #ConstanzeStelzenmueller #GieseckeDevrient #awaytolearn #amarktomake #aworldtochange
