GenX Leadership Academy

Tech is full of brilliant women — but too many are still working twice as hard to be heard, trusted, and taken seriously. The pressure to prove, the constant balancing act between expertise and visibility, and the unspoken rules of male-driven environments leave many women drained, undervalued, or questioning their place.

In this talk, Dr. Sara Hegy — award-winning scientist, executive coach, and expat founder — will show women in tech how to shift from overperforming to leading with presence and influence. You’ll discover how to turn your vision into your edge, set boundaries that protect your energy, and build the confidence to lead unapologetically. Expect practical tools, refreshing honesty, and empowering strategies that help you thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments without sacrificing yourself.

This session is for women in tech who are ready to break the code — to lead not by fitting in, but by standing out*.

*⚠️ Please come ready to be inspired by stories.

This talk requires curiosity and an open heart.

Most organizations brag about diversity and stop there.

Visionary leaders go many steps further — they know that inclusion is what transforms differences into creativity, trust, and results. In this masterclass, Dr. Sara Hegy — award-winning scientist and executive coach — reveals how senior leaders can move beyond compliance to build cultures where diverse teams become engines of innovation.

Expect practical tools, exercises, powerful insights, and a no-fluff approach that will leave you with a clearer path to leading across differences — and unlocking the full potential of your people.*

*⚠️ This session is not for everyone. Come only if you’re willing to play a little, laugh, learn deeply, and lean into openness. This masterclass requires giving the trainer permission to lead you through an honest, politics-free experience of what true leadership feels like.

Moving to Germany taught me that leadership isn’t just about skills — it’s about identity.

As an expat, you’re constantly navigating differences: in culture, in systems, in how people define success. At first, I thought I needed to adapt, to fit in, to prove myself.

But Germany taught me something else: true leadership isn’t about blending in, it’s about bringing clarity and vision strong enough to inspire across those differences.

I learned that when you lead with vision:
✨ People don’t just follow you — they align with you.
✨ You don’t need to have all the answers — you need to hold the direction.
✨ Leadership is less about authority — and more about the courage to stand in who you are.

Germany as a home to my growth and development for 13 long eventful years, has taught me that leadership is built in the tension between science and soul.

Science gave me the tools: clarity, systems, the ability to measure and analyze.

Soul gave me the compass: vision, resilience, and the courage to act even when the evidence wasn’t there yet.

And the magic happens when you don’t choose between them.
You integrate both — and lead from the wholeness of who you are.

As a scientist and a human, I discovered that visionary leadership is what transforms uncertainty into opportunity. And it’s not just for international life — it’s for anyone navigating complexity, change, or environments where the rules aren’t written for you.

Vision isn’t a luxury. It’s your compass! During this talk, I’ll inspire you to see that for yourself too.

In a world overloaded with pressure, speed, and constant change, most leaders are stuck in reactive mode — managing tasks instead of shaping futures. But innovation doesn’t come from panic or perfection. It comes from vision.

In this masterclass, Dr. Sara Hegy — award-winning scientist, executive coach, and founder of GenX Leadership Academy — reveals how visionary leadership transforms teams, cultures, and careers. You’ll learn how to move from firefighting to future-building, how to create clarity when everything feels uncertain, and how to communicate a purpose so powerful it pulls people forward.

Expect grounded tools, science-backed insights, and a refreshing, no-fluff approach that balances emotional intelligence with strategic clarity.

⚠️ Please come ready to play a little, laugh, learn deeply, and be moved by stories. This session requires openness, honesty, and the willingness to give permission to be led without politics — so you can experience what visionary leadership feels like in action.

This is for leaders who want to stop leading by default — and start leading with purpose, courage, and vision that outlasts them.
