DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Diversity and inclusion have been topics of discussion for several decades now, with many organizations publicly committing to these values for an extended period of time. However, despite the Fortune 500 list showing a doubling in the proportion of female CEOs over the past 10 years, the figure remains abysmal at 9.4%. Furthermore, only one black woman has managed to make it onto the list.
In another disheartening statistic, 85% of university-educated Americans with autism are unemployed.
Additionally, a survey revealed that in the past year, 77% of transgender individuals have taken active measures to avoid being mistreated at work, such as concealing their sexual identities.
Given that diversity encompasses several aspects, we are dedicated to aiding organizations in their journey towards becoming more inclusive. Read further to understand our approach.

Thanks for today’s session! I really find the sessions useful. Makes me constantly reflect, which is not a thing that
I do enough.
Compliments to Mette and Anu for being so engaging! Both of you really walk the talk. I want to encourage male and female colleagues to take this course.
Stella Limothy
Head of Digital / Regional Digital Officer
The program has strengthened me further as a woman in senior leadership – it gives a safe environment to practice negotiation, pitch and dream even bigger. It’s a great session, where collective intelligence and constructive feedback from other women leaders are flowing freely, creating a very nourishing 1.5 hour every week to the mental well-being. Highly recommend to join the program!

I would like to thank you deeply about this amazing journey that we had together. This training came in the perfect time for me and changed completely my perspective of so many topics. It is training that every woman should have in her life.

This course has changed my life. My approach to all things in life from work to personal has changed for the better.

This is not just another motivation/training course.
The content and delivery is superb, thanks to the experience/exposure of Mette & KG.
They are amazing.
What really stands out is that this course coaches us to “go deeper” to understand why and what, enabling us to learn from the basics. I attended a similar course before, but the class size was just too big and too diverse to get the same kind of impact I have had from the 12 classes of this course. The ladies are from different backgrounds and yet we are similar in our beliefs/needs and we build immense trust amongst the team to share and gain key takeaways each time we come together. Every Friday is a day we motivate, we learn and we grow. This is an awesome
learning experience.
Nayla Hage
MET Aftermarket Growth Leader
I am grateful to have been part of the Woman in Leadership Accelerator Programme this year.
Quite honestly, I was not sure what to expect from this program and soon realized the positive impact that it had on my personal and professional growth.
The sessions were a safe space for women professionals to speak up openly, to address any blocks in the workplace and to grow as we deserve to without the attached stigma that we, as women, tend to put on ourselves.
The passion on the topics discussed on a weekly basis by Mette and Anupama were so encouraging, the interaction and support among the team were absolutely beautiful and the awareness was with great impact.
Thank you,

I have had the privilege to collaborate with Mette on multiple occasions including a session with my entire team on owning your personal brand, women on my team experiencing Mette’s ‘Women in Leadership’, and finally men on my team participating in the ‘Male Allies’ workshop. I have also participated as a guest panellist for the Women in Leadership workshop. Mette’s workshops have positive impact because they are presented in a relaxed manner, they provide real and identifiable scenarios, and are very applicable to the business world today. I also love that Mette brings people together with varying background and from different companies. This helps participants broaden their perspectives and learn from others across industries. I look forward to continuing my collaboration with Mette and the MetaMind workshops in the future.
