Building a Marketplace of Skills

This past Sunday, we gathered at Diana Lerner Ketelaars’ welcoming home for an intimate “Marketplace of Skills” workshop, co-hosted by Katarzyna Oratowska. Building on our previous IAC event, this informal gathering created a safe space where women leaders could authentically connect and share expertise.

Participants engaged in our interactive skills marketplace, identifying their unique capabilities to share alongside skills they hoped to develop. Through casual conversations, connections formed naturally as women discovered complementary strengths and shared experiences.

“It was incredibly inspiring to hear the diverse stories shared by the women in attendance and to discover just how much we have in common — as well as how much we can learn from one another,” reflected one participant.

The success of this gathering reinforces our belief in creating spaces where women can authentically connect and support each other’s growth. We thank Diana for opening her home and both hosts for facilitating such a meaningful experience.
