The development of female leadership and entrepreneurship has evolved into an important theme
around the world. This paper has two objectives. Firstly, we introduce a comprehensive training
program called femaleForum, which combines education, development and research following the
principle of lifelong learning. The program includes various modules which are designed to support
the leadership and entrepreneurship opportunities of many different women. Secondly, based on an
empirical interview study with 20 women, we discuss what kind of impact one of the modules in
the program, a female MBA, can have on women’s attitudes and careers. The results show that the
participants’ attitudes became more positive about an all-female group in leadership development.
We discuss the reasons for this change. Several career changes–both horizontal and vertical–were
also realized.
