On 1–2 December 2025, the Krakow School of Business KUE hosted the third edition of HERDirection – Women Impact Seminar, led by Dr. Vanessa Collingridge, a British author, presenter, and long-standing collaborator of KSB KUE.

This year’s seminar brought together women interested in strengthening their leadership skills, deepening their self-awareness, and building professional relationships based on openness and mutual support.

The two-day program covered two key thematic modules essential for today’s leaders:

• Connecting with ourselves
  A module dedicated to understanding stress and burnout. Participants explored the causes of overload, learned strategies to support wellbeing, and discovered how mindful self-awareness underpins resilient and responsible leadership.
• Connecting with others
  A practical exploration of conflict management and communication. Through guided exercises, participants enhanced their ability to engage in constructive dialogue, cultivate empathy, and transform challenging situations into opportunities for growth.

The event was officially opened by Katarzyna Lipińska-Koń, Event Coordinator and Coordinator of the KSB KUE MBA Alumni Club, who introduced the program and welcomed participants.

We would like to thank all attendees for their engagement, openness, and the inspiring atmosphere they co-created. Together, we continue to foster a space that supports women in their professional and personal development.
