Lean In Malaysia is back with our signature annual event, Lean In Unconference this November! The theme for this year is “Experiencing Breakthrough: Hear It, See It, Be It !”

After levelling up the conversation during LIU 2018, we found that a recurring issue among women is feeling stagnant and unable to seeing a clear path in career enhancement or having difficulty in having work and life balance. From all that has been discussed, the priority would be to tackle the said issues as above.

 

LIU 2019 aims to inspire breakthrough in their life and career. The breakthrough for career enhancement, the breakthrough for work-life balance and the breakthrough to male participants to promote inclusion as a breakthrough.

Hence, we would like our participants to hear real life stories on breakthrough through our human story books, to see how women and men experience breakthrough and promote inclusion in their respective organisations and finally be advocates of breakthrough themselves.

Additionally, our nation as a whole is also undergoing a similar sentiment of not being able to pass certain blocks of challenges and we would like to advocate for women to see themselves as leaders and to breakthrough imposter syndrome and stereotypes. It is vital to have diverse voices in leading the way for a better Malaysia for all.

As we roll out our annual conference in Sasana Kijang this year, we ensure that you will be in for a whole new experience!
