What our members say
I joined PWG about a year ago and I’ve been quite active within the network despite how busy I am lately. However, I really enjoy the sense of belonging and understanding I receive every time I go to their events or workshops. I’ve had many meaningful conversations with some members, which have nothing to do with the sole purpose to hand your biz card and move on. Another thing I really like about PWG is that here I find exactly my kind of crowd: purpose-driven, dynamic, forward thinking, open-minded women, who genuinely celebrate and support each other. I am also grateful for the constant support I get from the women within the network, who have encouraged me to speak and share my expertise and journey as a mumpreneur several times. As much as I like being on the stage speaking, I enjoy being in the audience too, because every topic the network chooses for their events feels close to my heart and life at the moment. You can tell that everything they doing reflects what is going on in our lives today as modern women, biz owners, career women and mums. Including the fun events I’ve been to! I can feel this network is listening to their members and whatever they organize or do resonates deeply with the women living here, but also outside of Switzreland!

Being a member of PWG opened a lot of new doors for me. I always meet very interesting women and make new connections. I still remember the first time I attended a monthly event, I came back home so energized and had so many ideas to start my project faster than expected! Attending the Think Tanks helped me as well a lot to develop my business and get constructive feedbacks from other members. I am now an active volunteer for the organization of the yearly PWG Conference and love to support the club whenever I can. I would recommend PWG to any business woman who wants to boost her current carrier or explore new opportunities.

I’ve joined the PWG after I moved to Zürich to create my new professional network. PWG is a place where you can connect and meet women with so many different stories. You will find Corporations passionate, brave entrepreneurs, women willing to make a career change. The atmosphere is always welcoming and stimulating at the same time. I would suggest everyone to join the Club!

What I really value about the PWG, and have since its creation in 1983, is this: the group may be about business, but it isn’t a business. That may sound trite yet it is also what keeps the group grounded: every woman in the PWG is welcome and can engage with anyone in the group. That is no small achievement in the world of business. It further allows and encourages individuals to express their own ideas to create events that enrich the group and themselves as they create. Short term it can be a bit unpredictable, perhaps even scary, but long term it keeps the group flexible and resilient and has so for the past 35 years. A toast to the women of the PWG!

The exchange of knowledge and experiences with other women had a strong impact on my business environment and career. PWG was decisive for me, finding more inspiration, self-confidence and capacity to succeed in my business. Women respond different to the business world !

Why join PWG? Because it is a group of amazing and motivated women that are driven to create an environment of collaboration between professional women. After each event, I leave with awareness of a new subject, having learnt a new skill or with a newly acquired curiosity to know more. This group of wonderful women inspires me to be the best version of myself. The members of the group are generous at exchanging ideas, motivation and it is an environment rich with opportunities and possibilities. I love the connections I have made along the way.

Joining PWG Zurich in 2015 has been such a great decision! I have been pleasantly surprised to find a group of women, who are so supportive and kind to one another. The group feels like family to me and I always look forward to the events. Every event is very interesting and I have learned so much through the Think Tanks and special monthly events! From creative events at Google to charity events, we always have so much fun with the group! I also really like the mix between both corporate / entrepreneurial women in the group. Personally, I have also been very lucky to have won a brand make-over from PWG that included consultancy from a wonderful brand strategist (Tsitaliya Mircheva-Petrova) and a full photoshoot with the talented photographer (Natalie von Harscher) at the Schminkbar at Modissa in Zurich! This experience was one of a kind and so much fun! I am grateful to PWG and all of its members for the many memories we have created and I cherish! I am excited to be part of such a lovely club and highly recommend other women in / around Zurich to join this fun and empowering club!
