U-LEAD

Join a small group of women for drinks and an open conversation about financial literacy (= ability to make informed, confident decisions about your money across five areas: Earn, Save, Invest, Protect, Plan).

Phones away. This is a deliberately offline, in-person session to build human connection.

What happens:

• Small group of 3 women per session
• Open conversation around ULEAD's Financial Literacy framework
• Peer sharing on challenges, blockers, and next steps
• All participants leave with full, free access to ULEAD's program
• Phones away. Fully offline. Human connection.

Who this is for:

• Women who want to understand and grow their financial knowledge
• Women looking to negotiate better, invest smarter, and plan ahead
• Women looking for peer support and honest dialogue

Programme structure:
All participants receive full complimentary access to ULEAD's Financial Literacy Program, a 10-hour self-paced curriculum across 5 modules: Earn, Save, Invest, Protect, Plan.

Why it matters:
Across all 27 EU member states, men show higher financial literacy than women by an average of 18 percentage points. Only 12% of women globally invest in stocks or mutual funds, compared to 28% of men. In Europe, women earn 12.7% less than their male counterparts and are more likely to work in industries where their work is systematically underpaid.

Places are limited to 3 participants per session. The program is fully funded and built by ULEAD, available at no cost to all participants.

Why it matters:
Burnout affects 42% of women in the workplace and among senior-level women, that figure climbs to 60%. Nearly eight in ten women of colour at the senior level report frequent burnout. Senior-level women are leaving at disproportionate rates, citing being passed over and seeing no realistic path forward as key reasons for disengagement.

Places are limited to 5 participants per session. The programme is fully funded and built by ULEAD, available at no cost to all participants.

We review ULEAD's Career Architecture framework together, share challenges and experiences to support each other (e.g. where you are, what's blocking you, and what to do next).

What happens:

• Small group of 3 women per session
• Open conversation around Career Architecture
• Peer sharing on challenges, blockers, and next steps
• All participants leave with full access to ULEAD's Career Architecture Program, free of charge.

• Women looking for peer support and honest dialogue

Program:
Participants receive full access to ULEAD's Career Architecture Program, a 10-hour, self-paced curriculum structured across three modules:

• Self-awareness — identifying your strengths, growth areas, and the direction that aligns with both
• Practical toolkit — resume, networking, and a structured approach to the job search
• Resilience and confidence — tools to sustain momentum through the process

The program is fully funded and built by ULEAD, available at no cost to all participants.

Why it matters:
Women hold just 29% of C-suite roles despite making up nearly half of entry-level workforces. In 2025, only 93 women were promoted to manager for every 100 men. Four in ten entry-level women have received no promotion, stretch assignment, or development opportunity in the past two years.

Places are limited to 3 participants per session.
