Inspiring Woman of the Year 2012 winners
An Associate Professor who took Luxembourg's university to court was among a handful of inspiring women to be honoured at a ceremony marking International Women's Day.
Last year Gudrun Ziegler won her case against the higher education institution for wrongful termination of contract.
While she waits for the UL to take the steps for her reintegration at the university, her work leading a programme called Learning and Development in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts was recognised when she was crowned Inspiring Woman of the Year for her contributions to Science and Technology research.
The awards are the first-ever initiative to honour the best female role models in the country and were organised by Group Moraru sarl in partnership with ESSEC business school.
Altogether seven awards were issued to individuals and one to the Top Company for Gender Equality, which was bestowed to the Bank of New York Mellor. For full details on winners, read on.
The evening was a stirring show of solidarity as women and men gathered at the Hotel Royal to celebrate progress but also to encourage women to continue to achieve their full potential.
Viviane Reding did not disguise her disappointment at the lack of progress for gender equality made during the last 12 months. In a video speech relayed to guests, she mentioned a report which showed “almost no progress has been achieved since last year.”
In response the commissioner has launched a public consultation into the matter. “Gender equality remains a battlefield...I look forward to celebrating the victories yet to come,” she said.
Luxembourg City Mayor Xavier Bettel called for guests to draw strength in the progress made so far. He reminded them that 50 years ago women had to have permission from their husbands to open a bank account. He also called on the government to lead by example in encouraging more women to occupy board roles in departments.
Inspiring woman of the year winners by category:
Education
Founder of creche group Rockids Fatima Rivas accepted this honour on behalf of her family. The family company was set up in 2003 and will soon boast nine creches around Luxembourg, some of which are open at weekends.
“Educating children the right way is the most important thing. I hope that's what I do,” she said.
Finance
Françoise Thoma was honoured for her inspiring leadership at BCEE Luxembourg.
“Leaders are leaders because they should dare to lead by example,” she said, adding: “My thanks go to my team because they are the sounding board of this award. Without them I wouldn't be standing here today. I'm so happy to work with them.”
Social and Community Service
Sophie Molitor of SOS Village d'Enfants du Monde was honoured for her work in helping the poorest children in the world. She said: “Children are the most important thing we have in the world. We must all do our best to help them, especially those who are most in need.”
Science and Technology research
University Associate Professor Gudrun Ziegler was recognised for her contributions at the university of Luxembourg. She said: “In the past women didn't really have access to education and therefore didn't really have access to leadership. Nowadays 60% of graduate students are women. The ten best of each year across disciplines are women. But in leadership roles in Science and Technology women represent just 12%. I wonder where these people go. I'm sure the future will be better.”
Arts
Creator of urban metal sculptures Florence Hoffmann received the Inspiring woman of the year award for her contributions to art. In her acceptance speech she described her role models in the world of art, which include among others Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. “The inspiration of a moment is worth the experience of a lifetime,” she said.
Corporate Business
Marie-Béatrice Noble was honoured for her inspiring contribution to the world of corporate business, which is traditionally dominated by men. Having lived in Luxembourg for 20 years, she set up law firm MNKS Luxembourg in 2004. Today, she co-leads a team of 60 people and five out of the company's six associates are women. “It's not what counts but, nevertheless, it's something to be proud of,” she said.
Entrepreneurship
Rachel Treece was recognised for her work with recruiters and trainers at "fast recruitment" Luxembourg.
She said: “I'm a daughter, a wife, a mother and business woman and I think that these are the most important things in my life.”
Top Company for Gender Equity
The Bank of New York Mellon Luxembourg was given the ultimate accolade for its gender equity approach. Among senior management roles, 60% are occupied by women and a number of critical departments are run by women. Managing director Dave Micallef said: “What surprises me is the energy, compassion and creativity that comes from this group.”

Un trofeo che si propone di riconoscere l’importanza dei modelli che ispirano le donne, premiando non solo quelle hanno raggiunto obiettivi important inella loro carriera ma che, allo stesso tempo, con la loro energia e il loro impegno ispirano comportamenti virtuosi e motivazioni alle donne più giovani.
“Per ispirare le giovani verso determinati mestieri e professioni non sempre visibili e per dare riconoscenza pubblica alle donne che spesso rimangono nell’ombra”. Con queste parole Clara Morau, imprenditrice di lungo corso e fondatrice della Fédération des Femmes Cheffes d’Entreprises et de Femmes leader du Luxembourg aslb ha spiegato le ragioni di questo premio, lo scorso 29 settembre, presso il Cercle Munster a Luxembourg- Grund.
Insiping woman of the year è un premio che, nato sotto il patrocinio del deputato Xavier Bettel (DP), ha raccolto intorno a sé molti personaggi pubblici e membri della giuria come, tra gli altri, Viviane de Beaufort della ESSEC Business School, fondatrice del programma “Entreprendre au féminin” e “Woman Be Board Ready” , Isabella Leonarduzzi fondatrice e direttrice di JUMP Forum Belgio (www.forumjump.be) e Aude De Thuin, creatrice del Women’s Forum (www.womens-forum.com).
Le categorie del premio sono:
finanza
educazione
servizi sociali e comunitari
media
scienza, tecnologia e ricerca
arte
piccole e medie imprese
imprenditoria
L’iscrizione deve avvenire tramite un rappresentante ufficiale di associazioni, federazioni, club, imprese o poposte di un singoo.

Pour Clara Moraru (deuxième sur notre photo en partant de la droite), l'initiative permettra d'améliorer la représentativité des femmes dans la vie économique
L'idée: mettre en avant des modèles de réussite au féminin afin d'inspirer les jeunes générations.
Marc Fassone
Le trophée Inspiring Woman of the Year se propose de reconnaître l'importance des modèles qui inspirent et influencent les femmes en mettant à l'honneur les femmes qui non seulement ont réussi dans leur carrière mais inspirent autour d'elles avec leurs idées, leur énergie et leur engagement, ceci afin d'offrir inspiration et motivation aux plus jeunes, introduit Clara Moraru, à l'initiative du projet.
Un projet qui couronne d'une action commencée en 2009 par le lancement de l'initiative Women Leaders in Europe et l'organisation des conférences-dîners «Inspiring Women».
L'inspiration est au cœur de la démarche de Clara Moraru, qui croit dans le pouvoir des modèles. Et qui y voit un moyen d'améliorer la représentativité des femmes dans la vie économique.
Elle tient à préciser que son initiative n'est pas féministe. Au lieu de continuer à nous plaindre qu'il n'y ait pas suffisamment de femmes dans les top managements et les conseils d'administration et de chercher à imposer des quotas, il vaut mieux se concentrer à reconnaître, récompenser et rendre visibles les femmes qui ont réussi dans différents domaines d'activités, et faire ainsi avancer les choses de manière positive et constructive en montrant des modèles que tous peuvent suivre. Des modèles qui n'évoluent pas dans la sphère des people mais dans des activités concrètes, entreprenariat, science, finance, médias ou philanthropie.
Autre écueil que les organisateurs veulent éviter: celui du narcissisme. Si tout le monde a besoin d'une reconnaissance publique de ses compétences et réussites, les femmes sont généralement plus discrètes et plus modestes. Il n'est pas toujours évident de les convaincre de se mettre en avant.
vote public
Le trophée s'est alors imposé à ses yeux comme la manière de les inciter à le faire. De fait, on peut s'inscrire soi-même ou proposer la candidature d'une autre personne– sous réserve qu'elle ait donné son accord.
Seront récompensées les femmes modèles de la Grande Région dans huit catégories.
Les entreprises sont également de la partie. Le trophée Top Company for Gender Equity mettra à l'honneur celles ayant réussi l'équilibre entre hommes et femmes. «Ici, on regardera les pourcentages, pas les intentions.»
Les inscriptions sont ouvertes. jusquau 1er février sur le site www.inspiringwomen.lu. Les votes du public y seront également recueillis dès aujourd'hui et jusqu'au 15 fevrier.
Le jury procédera aux votes entre le 15 février et le 1er mars. Le public et le jury se partageront 50% des voix chacun.
Palmarès le 8mars prochain.

„Women Leaders in Europe“ fördern Frauen in Führungspositionen
VON SANJA SIMIC
Seit zwei Jahren setzt sich die Initiative „Women Leaders in Europe“ von Clara Moraru
dafür ein, erfolgreiche Business-Entscheiderinnen in Luxemburg sichtbar zu machen.
Am Freitag organisierte die Initiative, gemeinsam mit der Essec Business School, ein Symposium im Cercle Munster über „Frauen, die inspirieren“. Knapp dreißig Vertreterinnen aus dem Luxemburger Wirtschaftsleben nahmen daran Teil und konnten mit anderen weiblichen Führungspersönlichkeiten ihre Erfahrungen austauschen.
„Wir wollen erfolgreiche Entscheiderinnen in den Vordergrund stellen, damit sie als Vorbild für junge Unternehmerinnen und andere Frauen in Führungspositionen dienen können“, erklärt Clara Moraru. Sie hat im Rahmen ihrer Initiative in den vergangenen zwei Jahren zwei Bücher über erfolgreiche Luxemburgerinnen und Frauen aus der Großregion veröffentlicht.
Im kommenden März verleiht „Women Leaders“ einen Preis an die erfolgreichsten Frauen im Großherzogtum, in den Kategorien Finanzen, Sozialwesen, Medien, sowie unter anderem Wissenschaft und Kunst. Bei der gestrigen Konferenz hatten die Teilnehmerinnen die Gelegenheit, sich mit der ehemaligen belgischen Politikerin und Unternehmerin Michèle Detaille auszutauschen, sowie mit der französischen Professorin Viviane de Beaufort und Viviane Neiter, Mitglied in mehreren Verwaltungsräten.
Richtiges Coaching
Michèle Detaille sprach sich dabei gegen gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Quotenregelungen in Verwaltungsräten
aus. „Sie schränken die Freiheiten der Aktionäre zu sehr ein“, sagte Detaille. Frauen sollten
den Weg zu den Verwaltungsräten, sowie zum Top Management auf ganz natürliche Art und Weise finden.
Für Viviane de Beaufort liegt die Herausforderung darin, Frauen, die Führungspositionen anstreben,
richtig zu coachen. „Sie müssen lernen, mehr Vertrauen in sich selbst und in ihre Fähigkeiten
zu haben“, so die Professorin der Essec Business School. „Frauen auf Führungsposten verfügen über
eine überaus hohe Kompetenz, doch es fehlt ihnen oft am nötigen Selbstvertrauen.“ Viviane de Beaufort rät ihnen, sich nicht zu verstellen und die alten Modelle nicht nachzuahmen, sondern frischen Wind in die Führungsposten zu bringen. „Frauen nehmen in den Verwaltungsräten oft eine Vermittlerrolle ein“, berichtete Viviane Neiter aus eigener Erfahrung.
Darüber hinaus würden sie einen hohen Menschlichkeitsfaktor in die Räte miteinbringen.
Merkur - 28.07.2011 - 8ème édition de la conférence "Inspiring women"

Deux invitées d’honneur, Michèle Detaille, Managing Director de No-Nail Boxes et administrateur FEDIL Business Federation Luxembourg et Sonia Biraschi, General Manager et membre du Comité de Direction de la banque State Street ont fait part de leur parcours vers la réussite professionnelle.
Le symposium «Madame l’Administrateur» a fait intervenir deux femmes sur des questions liées à la gouvernance d’entreprise: Viviane de Beaufort, professeur de droit européen des affaires à la prestigieuse école d’affaires ESSEC, membre du Club Recherche de l’IFA, membre de l’European Corporate Governance Institute, fondatrice des programmes «Women be European board ready» et «Entreprendre au féminin», et Viviane Neiter, administratrice de sociétés cotées et non cotées en France, membre de divers groupes de travail à l’Autorité des Marchés Financiers et fondatrice du cabinet Neiter Consulting.
La prochaine conférence «Inspiring women» aura lieu le 29 septembre prochain avec trois nouvelles invitées: Aude de Thuin, fondatrice du Women’s Forum (France), Isabella Lenarduzzi, fondatrice et managing director du Forum JUMP pour l’avancement des femmes dans leur carrières (Belgique) et Jacqueline Hughes – Lundy, fondatrice des trophées «Inspiring Women» (Royaume Uni).
