¡Muchas gracias @revistapaula_elpais por la hermosa cobertura!

Cuánto más fácil es ayudar que pedir ayuda».

Una reflexión que compartieron Roberto Canessa y Florencia Krall y que nos quedó resonando. Ayudar nos resulta natural. Pedir ayuda nos enfrenta a nuestra vulnerabilidad, a reconocer que no podemos solos. Y cuánto necesitamos aprender también a eso.

Desde IWF Uruguay, cada año elegimos una organización para acompañar y dar visibilidad a su trabajo. Esta vez, junto a Fundación Humaniza Josefina, compartimos una conversación sobre resiliencia, propósito y esperanza, moderada por Silvana Nicola.

«No hay que cansarse de ser bueno», dijo Canessa. Una invitación a sostener la generosidad, incluso cuando cuesta.

Florencia puso en palabras el compromiso que impulsa a la Fundación: «Ningún chico más va a pedir hospitalizado el libro de quejas». Una frase que nos recuerda la importancia de escuchar a los niños y cuidar su experiencia en el hospital.

Dos historias distintas, unidas por la decisión de transformar lo vivido en ayuda para otros.

Gracias por recordarnos que acompañar importa. Y que dejarnos acompañar también.

Supporting women’s leadership means investing in the ideas, relationships, and ambitions that help them move forward.

As IWF Türkiye, we are proud to have nominated Derya Ermiş for the 2026–2027 IWF Leadership Fellows Program and are delighted to support her on this journey.

Derya, we look forward to the perspectives you will share and the experiences you will bring back to our community. Wishing you and your fellow Fellows an inspiring and rewarding year.

The 2026–2027 IWF Leadership Fellows Program is officially underway.

34 women leaders from 13 countries convened in Mexico City for their orientation, where they were welcomed by members of IWF Mexico.

Over the course of the week, they built the strong connections that make the program a powerful force that will accelerate their leadership trajectories.

Se vivió Voices of Leadership, un encuentro organizado por The International Women’s Forum, que reunió a cinco mujeres latinas líderes en New Orleans para compartir sus historias, desafíos y el impacto de su herencia hispana en sus trayectorias profesionales.

Lucy Bustamante, Ashley García, Alejandra Guzmán, Ángela Ramírez y Jenny Mains nos dejaron un mensaje poderoso: creer en nuestro talento, romper estereotipos y abrir puertas para quienes vienen detrás.

VIVA NOLA estuvo allí para contártelo.

Empowerment and Courage Over Confidence. What a wonderful conversation to be part of!

I had the pleasure of joining Felicity Youl as a storyteller at the International Women's Forum Emerging Leaders Program, where we shared our personal and professional journeys and explored the theme of Empowerment and Courage Over Confidence.

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate through my own journey is that confidence doesn’t always come before taking that next step. Sometimes, it’s courage that gets us moving, even when we’re uncertain, and confidence comes later through the experience.

It was such a lovely evening of sharing stories, experiences and perspectives with a room full of emerging leaders. I also thoroughly enjoyed listening to Felicity’s story and learning more about her incredible personal and career journey. There is so much we can learn from each other’s experiences, particularly the challenges and decisions that have shaped who we are today.

Being part of the IFWA emerging leaders community is something I value, and having the opportunity to contribute to the development of the next generation of leaders makes it even more rewarding.

A special thank you to Kristen Hansen for facilitating such a thoughtful and engaging conversation, and to Cathy Doyle from NobleOak Insurance for generously providing the facilities and making the evening possible.

I walked away feeling just as inspired by the people in the room as I hope they were by our stories.

My cup was full that night.

And perhaps that’s the message I’d love to leave with emerging leaders: Don’t wait until you feel confident enough. Sometimes you just need the courage to begin.

Celebrating 10 Years of @iwffrance 🇫🇷🎉🥂

What a weekend ! ⚡️Cheers to three days of connection, courage & collaboration across borders & generations with the @iwfglobal community bringing together exceptional female leaders from various backgrounds and cultures. 🥂🌍

Delighted to have been part of the German delegation from IWF 🇩🇪 honouring the important achievement of @iwffrance !

From the cocktail reception at Palais du Luxembourg hosted by Madame la Sénatrice Marta de Cidrac, to a gala dinner on the Seine and the visit of the private apartments @chateauversailles the anniversary programme was a tribute to French elegance, history, and power of a shared vision💪🏻

One personal highlight was our visit to @veverjewelry and to learn more about the revival of the historic maison by @camillevever and her brother Damien; loved their jewellery collection shaped by art, sustainability and legacy ✨

Merci infiniment @iwffrance for the unforgettable memories, new friendships & reconnections (sometimes whatsapp group chats offer wonderful surprises 😉)

Bon courage pour la suite 🥂⚡️⭐️

Celebrating a decade of inspiring leadership, meaningful connections, and international sisterhood at IWF France!

As IWF Türkiye, we were delighted to join IWF France’s 10th anniversary celebrations in Paris. The festivities began on October 9 with an elegant cocktail reception held in a section of the French Parliament, which opened its doors for this special occasion.

It was a great privilege to celebrate this important milestone alongside IWF Global President Kimberly Cooper Jaqua and IWF France President Elisabeth Ourliac, who continue to strengthen connections and solidarity among women leaders around the world.

IWF Türkiye was represented at this special event by our President, Atty. Dr. Çiğdem Ayözger Öngün, who also serves as Co-Chair of the IWF Global AI & Data SIG; our Board Member Kına Demirel; and our members Ahu Orakçıoğlu and Muteber Yılmazcan.

As a gesture of friendship and solidarity, on behalf of IWF Türkiye, we presented the President of IWF France with a special silk scarf designed by Arzu Kaprol, one of Türkiye’s leading fashion designers, and produced by our former Board Member Yasemin Gür Solmaz.

Here’s to many more years of inspiration, collaboration, and growing our collective impact!

Joyeux 10ᵉ anniversaire, IWF France !

The opening reception for the IWF Fellowship was hosted by IWF Mexico at the JW Marriott (GORG!). 🥂🇲🇽✨

It was a brilliant moment to launch the week with women who are both long-time and new members of IWF, learning their stories as we embarked on ours.

The highlight was meeting Liliana (last pic!) in person. She interviewed me for the program in June. She is brilliant and dynamic and I remember such connection with her. She shared, “the Fellowship was a moment to embrace and understand that to be a woman in leadership was a power, a strength. Not something to be dimmed, rather, accessed and understood. This is what my IWF sisters continue to teach me.”

I’m excited to learn across the next 14 months and beyond, and am already drawing strength from my gals aka The Fellows and so many members of this brilliant worldwide network. #sisterhood

⚜️Versailles, de l’intime au sacré ✨

👑 Quelle joie d’avoir rejoint les membres de l’ @iwfglobal International Women’s Forum venues du monde entier, pour une visite exceptionnelle des appartements privés de Louis XIV et de Louis XVI au @chateauversailles.

🪟🌞🪟Franchir ces portes habituellement fermées au public, c’est passer de la scène du pouvoir à la vie du souverain. Au cœur du château, face à la Cour de marbre, la chambre de Louis XIV, installée en 1701, était le théâtre quotidien des cérémonies du lever et du coucher. C’est là que le Roi-Soleil s’est éteint le 1er septembre 1715, après soixante-douze ans de règne.

🗃️ Plus loin, les cabinets intérieurs révèlent un tout autre Versailles, plus feutré, plus personnel. On y admire le célèbre secrétaire à cylindre commencé par Oeben et achevé par Riesener en 1769, chef-d’œuvre de l’ébénisterie française. Puis la bibliothèque de Louis XVI, aménagée par Ange-Jacques Gabriel dès son avènement en 1774 : boiseries sculptées d’une grande finesse et témoignage de la passion du roi pour la lecture, la géographie et les sciences.

⛪️ Notre visite s’est achevée en apothéose à la Chapelle royale, dernier grand chantier de Louis XIV, achevée en 1710 par Robert de Cotte d’après les plans de Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Blancheur de la pierre, éclat de l’or, voûte peinte par Antoine Coypel… C’est en ce lieu qu’en 1770 fut célébré le mariage du futur Louis XVI et de Marie-Antoinette. Un moment de grâce suspendu.

⚜️⚜️Partager ce patrimoine avec des femmes leaders de tous les continents, fidèles à l’esprit d’IWF que je porte depuis 2012, c’est rappeler combien la #culture rapproche et inspire. 🙏

✨ 10 ans d’ @iwffrance : quelle joie de retrouver mes sœurs !✨

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 Quelle émotion de célébrer au cœur de la @villedeparisofficiel les 10 ans de notre chapitre français de l’ @iwfglobal , entourée de femmes remarquables venues du monde entier. 💫

👩🏻‍🎓 Nous remercions sincèrement notre présidente @elisabeth.ourliac qui fait vivre IWF France avec tant d’énergie et d’élégance dans le sillage de celles qui l’ont précédée @lucilledesjonqueres et @sandrokhiae , ainsi que @kcjiwf , présidente d’IWF Global, de nous avoir fait l’honneur de sa présence.

🙆🏻‍♀️ Que de chemin parcouru depuis 1974, lorsque Elinor Guggenheimer se voit refuser l’entrée d’une réunion où seules les femmes de service sont admises. Elle enfile alors un uniforme de service et prend sa place à la table. Ainsi naît à New York le Women’s Forum, devenu en 1987 l’International Women’s Forum. Un demi-siècle plus tard, nous sommes près de 8 400 femmes dirigeantes, réunies dans 78 forums et 37 pays, unies pour faire progresser le leadership des femmes. 🌍

💜Gratitude infinie pour les échanges si riches partagés à ma table avec Yael Lipman (présidente d’ @iwfisrael ), Caroline McDonald, Lucile Schoumacher, Catherine Delhaye, Tuija Keinonen, Carol Graham, Roberta Dell’Apa, Eileen Fitzpatrick, Katharina Upmeyer et Anne-Marie Straathof. 🙏

🥂 💜🕊️Ensemble, plus fortes, plus libres, plus audacieuses. Longue vie à IWF France !
