WomenChangemakers is a one-of-a-kind experiential event where C-level women executives talk candidly about their biggest personal changes they went through, and the impact it made on their lives.
What we believe in
WomenChangemakers is premised on these core values.
Authenticity
Executive women share authentic personal change stories as role models.
Purpose
Through stories, we inspire people at all stages to find their purpose and to develop the passion to achieve their goals.
Growth
Making new connections and sharing insights ensures we are constantly open to learning. To be successful, we must empower others as much as self.

I've been to two WomenChangemakers events so far, and I really enjoyed both sessions because of the candid and... inspiring stories about success and changes shared by the panel speakers. It's not easy to create a safe space that encourages honest sharing and for that, I appreciate what Women Changemakers has done so far. Thank you!read more

Many of us set an intention to change but challenged by inertia. WomenChangemakers provide an empowering platform to... inspire and ignite actions through real stories, grounded successes and priceless lessons. It was my first participation and was really impressed by the energy and exchanges. There was so much generosity in the sharing and the support shared between participants. Notably, we all need to find our own purpose and walk our own paths. But, we are not alone. In giving, we gain. In gaining, we give. Thanks for creating such a purposeful community. Looking forward to the 24 Nov event and I highly encourage both women and men, who are looking to as well as for support to attend.read more

Best event in Singapore! So many events that are aimed at promoting your professional self, but where your real self... never emerges. We need more events like this where we can be ourselves - authentic and vulnerable. Current world fixated with STEM revolution needs your initiativeread more

Attended my first session last Wed and found it to be eye-opening and experiential. What was key for me was that so... many women are able to bounce back from adversity, face their fears and soldier on to create fulfilling lives for themselves. It made me realise that I'm not alone in my suffering; that there are people who have experienced far worse than I have. More importantly, I know that it was never my fault to begin with. So, yes, looking forward to the next session! 🙂read more

A wonderful space to share your change story, or listen and be inspired by others. For both men and women to attend, I... had a mind-altering experience and met an incredible amount of wonderful ladies that made me not only feel better about my own shortcomings, but so inspired to be the best I can be, and recognise my strengths and all the hurdles I have already overcome, something I can share in order to help others achieve their own potential and feel good about themselves too. Thank you!read more

Finally we are putting together a weekend bootcamp but not in Bali. It’s still in Singapore with a “staycation” option.
This will be a WomenChangemakers like no other. We just got back from our 10th in New York. We will also be throwing in a mix of personal and professional breakouts in the afternoon, followed by at least 6 TED Talk style speeches but with opportunity to ask questions.
Sunday will have a mix of activities but all optional or take a good morning break to regroup your learnings. We hope that more people will stay overnight and form deeper connections. You have the option to share accomodation or book one for your family so they can enjoy the facility while you are soaking in loads of inspiration with us.
MEN ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED!

| How often you are tempted to take a chance but you find yourself aversed to risk. You need certainty and assurance to take on a new project, a new challenge. Shaen, the pioneer of positive psychology in Singapore would take you through steps to access your unconscious parts of your memory, beliefs and emotions to unblock your resistance to taking a chance. As with other breakouts, audience participates actively and have more opportunity to work on / share your own hang-ups and next risky projects. | SHAEN YEO (Happiness Scientists) | |
| 3 | Unbeaten, Unfethered – stories of resilience | |
| Susan, a performance coach will facilitate discussions around bouncing back from crisis and threatening situations and moving on and up, together with Ludmilla and Adeline who will be sharing their journeys of many hard knocks and how they find their silver lining. The group is encouraged to share their stories too as the trio shed more insights. Ludmilla spoke at our 2rd WomenChangemakers and Adeline was our speaker at WomenChangemakers in HK and has recently relocated back to Singapore | SUSAN BASSETT (Schroeders) ELAINE LIEW (Palo Alto Networks) ADELINE EE (SGX) | |
| TRACKS | 3:00 – 4:00 | |
| 1 | Polish your Linkedin Profile to Outshine | |
| You want to increase your chance at job search, at success. You want to be known for your expertise.

Chris will guide you on how you could enhance your Linkedin Profile to stand out | CHRIS REED (Black Marketing) | |
| 2 | Getting Your Book Published | |
| Maybe you have reached a point where you feel the urge to write a book and to get it published. Meet Mette and Tahira who will share their journeys of writing and getting their book published. Come prepared with a book idea or simply come prepared with questions you would like answered. | METTE JOHANSSON (MetaMind Training) TAHIRA A.S KHAN (Golden Door Awards) | |

Elaine will share her personal tips of how she mapped her journey amidst all odds and how she evolved and positioned herself in the forefront of tech. As with other breakouts, they will take the group to reflect on your personal goals and everyone could learn something from each other in the room too. | JOYCE KP TAN (SUSS) LUDMILLA ZUEVA (Philips) | |
| 2 | Mental Clarity through LEGO® play | |

| 3 | Paths Less Travelled – Creating a new agenda with 6 I’s | |
| Are you one for being safe? Do you often find yourself in cross-roads, not knowing what choices to make? Do you defer your decisions to others? Or simply procrastinate. Manisha Seewal will share the many times she has chosen the road less travelled with uncertainty and Sarah an innovation expert will walk you through some of the 6 I’s with actual hands on exercise for the group to experience. | SARAH LEWIS (Marketing by Design) MANISHA SEEWAL (Carro) |
