Abstract

Women in technical professions often face specific challenges, especially when it comes to dealing with male colleagues and managers. This interactive workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to recognize and strengthen their own strengths and improve their assertiveness. 

Practical exercises, role plays and the exchange of experiences are used to develop strategies for appearing self-confident and authentic.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to develop their skills and take the next step towards professional self-assertion and empowerment.

The speaker

Sabine Bergmeier is a woman who has asserted herself in male-dominated industries with impressive assertiveness and professionalism. For many years, she worked in technically demanding environments, for example in a pipeline inspection company and a drilling company - areas that are traditionally dominated by men. Here, she was often confronted with male power politics, especially from older, experienced managers. But instead of letting this discourage her, Sabine has developed techniques over time to act confidently and on an equal footing. She knows how important it is to make yourself heard without sacrificing your own authenticity. Sabine sees such situations as small but significant affirmations of what is possible when women assert themselves in traditionally male-dominated fields.

A particular highlight of her career is her role as skipper. As the boss of a ship, in another typically male domain, she always receives surprise and recognition when she confidently and precisely docks a ship. This is often the moment when she receives the applause she deserves - with a twinkle in her eye.

Sabine Bergmeier is now also active as a coach, where she supports women in discovering their inner "superwoman" and asserting themselves confidently in technical professions. She is a passionate advocate of female empowerment and shows women how to use their strengths in a targeted manner, master challenges and assert themselves confidently in male-dominated environments and pursue a career.

The workshop will take place at the DGMK e.V. stand and is open to all trade fair participants.
