MeetMizbizFemale leadership and equal gender representation
across all levels are an imperative for organisations
that want to maximize their potential.
Management commitment to gender diversity is high
in many companies, yet the fact remains that women
face greater barriers to thrive professionally.
Such obstacles are socially instituted, but are also
inherent to women holding themselves back out of
insecurity as discussed and confirmed by Facebook’s
COO Sheryl Sandberg in her book Lean In.
This insight was the inspiration to take action and
found Mizbiz, a network where ambitious women can
connect, become inspired and empower each other to
realize their full potential at work and in life.

Findingeach—otherMizbiz is a platform where driven female professionals
from various industries with a minimum of five years
experience can meet to exchange thoughts and ideas
in a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere. We believe
networking is a key factor in achieving necessary
empowerment. Networks create an occasion to share
knowledge and experiences, inspire and become
inspired and discover opportunities. Generally women
find it less natural to develop professional relations.
Therefore they often have a harder time finding
valuable mentors and sponsors. If women want to be
empowered and achieve more leadership positions,
they will have to become (more) connected.
We invite women to encourage and support each other in a relaxed environment where ideas are exchanged in a dynamic and inspiring setting.

It’s every— whereMizbiz wants to inspire. First by gathering a diverse
group of driven female professionals. Second by
creating a setting that not only achieves high
professional standards but also holds creative touches
in location, décor, music and catering. In a nutshell: an
inspiring feminine touch. Our goal is to inspire women
to reach their true potential. We invite women to
encourage and support each other in a relaxed
environment where ideas are exchanged in a dynamic
and inspiring setting.
The challenge is to empower women to lean in and create or grab opportunities that allow them to thrive professionally.

Our truestgoalMizbiz wants to empower its members to take up the
space they aspire to fill and believe in themselves. A
difference can be made only by identifying the relevant
barriers, addressing the issues openly and finding
solutions. At Mizbiz our aim is that after our gatherings
women will be encouraged to reach for more
opportunities, sit at more tables and believe more in
themselves. Ultimately, the challenge we recognise
most, above all others, is to empower women to lean
in and create or grab opportunities that allow them to
thrive professionally.

As a woman you can do whatever
you want in life as long as it is your
own honest decision and you put
your all into it. Just decide, trust in
yourself and get things done.
Life is too short to hold back.

I am convinced that women
have so many qualities that can
mean added value for companies
when they are included in senior
positions. Yet we tend to believe
less in ourselves, even when
others do.

Our Events
We will start by organising 2 events per year that offer
our members the opportunity to meet. Each event will
be organised around a different theme and the setup
will vary. However there are 4 key elements that will
be the backbone of all our gatherings:
Bringing together a selective and diversified group
of women. We want to give women the opportunity to
get out of their comfort zone and meet other women
from different sectors and seniorities. To achieve this,
for each event we will personally select a limited
amount of members with diversified backgrounds so
each event provides a unique opportunity for
networking.
Passing on experience from highly regarded female
professionals. For each event we will invite a
respected keynote speaker to share insights around
the theme of the evening. Our aim is for our attendees
to go home with ideas for professional growth.
Inspire and stimulate out of the box thinking. We will
select an inspirational setting, create a dynamic
atmosphere and offer insights that will challenge our
attendees to question the status quo and be open to
change in their personal or professional life.
Moments for connection and interaction in a relaxed
and trusting atmosphere accompanied by drinks and
fingerfood that will delight the senses.

Why Mizbiz?
At Mizbiz we want to be more than meetings of
professional women. Mizbiz is built around three core
values: connect, inspire & empower.
Connect
In the first place, Mizbiz is a network for ambitious
female professionals from various industries with a
minimum of five years experience to connect and to
exchange thoughts and ideas in a comfortable
atmosphere.
Inspire
But we take it further. Mizbiz wants to inspire. First by
gathering a diverse group of ambitious female
professionals. Second by creating a setting that not
only achieves high professional standards but also
provides creative touches in location, décor, music and
catering. In a nutshell: an inspiring feminine touch.
Empower
Finally Mizbiz wants to empower its members to take
the space they aspire to fill. A difference can be made
only by identifying the relevant barriers, addressing the
issues openly and finding solutions. At Mizbiz, our aim
is that after our gatherings women will be encouraged
to reach for more opportunities, sit at more tables and
believe more in themselves.
