Past event | Beyond Performance: Why Hard Work Isn’t Enough for Leaders

What does it really take to progress in your career and reach the next level of leadership?

This was the question at the heart of an evening organised by SwissCham Singapore’s Women in Leadership Committee, exploring some of the less obvious factors that shape career progression, from visibility and sponsorship to professional perception and navigating organisational dynamics.

The evening opened with a welcome from Janine Bachmann, Co-Chair of the Women in Leadership Committee, and Michael Marquardt, Partner and COO at Partners Group, who welcomed us to their offices.

Cornelia Schuler of GroWise Solutions then delivered the keynote, sharing candid perspectives on why strong performance alone does not always translate into career progression, and what professionals can do to move forward.

The panel discussion brought together Aline Anliker, Co-Chair of the Women in Leadership Committee, Cornelia Schuler, Shubha Shridharan of The Adecco Group, and Judy Liu of The Outlier Mind.

The conversation touched on several important questions:
 

• How do visibility, sponsorship and professional perception influence career progression?
• How can we navigate organisational dynamics while staying true to ourselves?
• How do we take ownership of our careers and make our next move happen?
  
   

A big thank you to all our speakers for their openness and for sharing their experiences, and to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussion.

A special thank you to Partners Group for hosting us in their offices and sponsoring the refreshments. It was a lovely setting to continue the conversations, connect with fellow guests and enjoy the Singapore skyline.
