This week we check out inspiring businesswomen in Europe, Madonna’s knack for staying on top of the money game and how a young girl’s photography got into one of Australia’s national galleries.
Over the past few years the European market has been a tough place for start-ups and entrepreneurs. While tough times present unfavourable conditions, the struggle for equality and leadership in business hasn’t stopped. In fact, our friends in Sweden have been working pretty hard to make sure European women with business aspirations are continuing to work towards their goals through the the European Network of Female Entrepreneurship Ambassadors. This program sources inspiring female entrepreneurs to work with women across Europe, providing advice and guidance in areas where women don’t normally receive mentorship and support. Check out this inspiring story about a Female Entrepreneur Ambassador working in Greece.
