"We are a network of highly educated, board-active or board-ready women of the business community from many different industries and from both local and global organizations within six European countries.
The workshop about IT Security and Protection against Cyber risks for our (future) Board members, provided by Nadja El Fertasi from “Thrive with EQ” gave our members an in-depth knowledge and practical tools for this important topic. In particular, her approach to link emotional intelligence with Cybersecurity made the workshop a huge success with a significant business impact.
We gladly recommend the state-of the-art expertise and the highly professional approach of Nadja el Fertasi."
