# 1 Career Strategy
Having a career strategy is key in realizing one’s ambitions and becoming successful. Having a goal in mind and a plan is an important first step but Young Female Talents also need a network of mentors, coaches, sponsors, and peers that support them in their development. During this topic, we explore your ambitions, define what support you need and set out a path on how to get there.

Parenthood is an impactful topic when looking at one's career. Hereby we reflect on the influence your parents had on your career, but also about you becoming a parent if you choose to do so. Especially as becoming a parent is the most impactful event in a woman’s career. Recent research concludes that the entire gender pay gap is attributed to women giving birth and childcare. Let’s talk about that! Even though not every woman has the wish or ability to become a mother, we need to educate ourselves on the impact of parenthood on one’s career.
