Could we be on the threshold of some kind of Brave New Sharing World? That was the jumping- off point for our discussions. We paid particular attention to what women have to gain or lose in the bargain. The costs and the benefits. The advantages and the risks. The Women’s Forum is nothing less than a platform for women who want to change the world. For this change to happen, we not only have to share. We have to care. We have to make this a more caring world. Healthy, educated and empowered women are at the core of a better society for all of us. JACQUELINE FRANJOU CEO, Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society This year’s Women’s Forum Global Meeting took place in Deauville just a few weeks after the U.N. Climate Conference in Morocco. And it followed our first-ever Women’s Forum Meeting in Mauritius last June, where we focused on the challenges of climate change for African countries and for Small Island Developing States. Taking action against climate change is not only a moral and ethical imperative. It is a matter of survival. And it is a struggle that puts women on the front lines. We must continue to demonstrate how the empowerment of women can unlock sustainable growth, which can in turn lead to lasting progress. Our future – for women, for all of us – depends on it. 7 DAY 1 Connecting your personal brand & purpose to a company vision 10 Melody Hossaini Reinventing organizations: The freedom to set goals, form teams, and create 12 Armelle Carminati-Rabasse / Marion Darrieutort Women and Men: Film screening and conversation with the director, Frédérique Bedos 14 Frédérique Bedos Our future in Europe 16 Julia Harrison Women’s Forum Global Meeting: Official welcome 18 Gillian Martin Mehers / Clara Gaymard A sharing economy? 20 Shellie Karabell / Denis Duverne, Giana M.
