Women On Top’s Summer Camp is a series of workshops for professional (and not only) empowerment, that will help you bring your best self to work and make it easier to deal with the changes you are willing to make in your career: to find a job, to find another position, to earn more money, to have more free time, to take a new step in your career, to build your teams confidence, to make your daily routine calmer, more productive and more pleasant.
But it doesn’t end there: it is also an opportunity to make connections, to find inspiration and support from a community of women who are always looking for the best – and all this without having to find an answer to the hard question “But where will I leave the kids” (if you have any). At WoT we believe that children and parents can deserve to develop side by side: this is why we seek to keep the little ones (aged 0 -12) occupied for however long their mum is improving her (but also theirs) potentials.
Some of the subjects that will be included in this year’s Summer Camp are:
- Promoting our jobs online
- Assertiveness and successful negotiations
- Networking for those who hate networking
- Designing financial ideas
- Occupational orientation
- Time management
…and much more.

Negotiations and assertiveness ׀ Eleni Plessa
Do you know how to claim those that you want or that are yours, for example a raise or a more suiting allocation of office jobs? Do you feel that you are heard when you ask for something or do you tremble negotiations and usually end up feeling at the end exhausted – and just plain lost? At this hands-on workshop we will learn basic techniques of negotiating, focusing on the challenges we meet most often – as we have been trained to – us women: the lack of self-confidence, the uncritical acceptance of the authority we have across us, the fear to pressure of disappoint our fellow coworker. This way, we will get all the tools we need to claim our equal rights and needs and deal with each negotiation not as a nightmare but as an opportunity.

Promote yourself correctly online ׀ Stella Kasdagli
What impression do I give to potential employers, customers or colleagues before they meet me? How do I present myself and my job online?

Some questions we will answer are:
– What is the easiest way to create a budget?
– How do I evaluate my budget and monitor my consistency with it?
– Is it worth first paying off my debts and then saving or the other way around?
– What can I do if I reach a point of desperation with my debt?

My own personal saboteur ׀ Venia Delikaterini
We all carry our own restrictive beliefs, our own personal saboteur. They are with us in every new step, in every new start. They are the one that when we give them space, will hear them saying ‘Where will you go? You won’t make it. You can’t. You don’t have the ability’. They are the one that will convince us we really can’t do it. In this seminar, using psychodrama, we will answer the next questions:
– What can I do with my personal saboteur?
– Who are they and why are they giving me so much trouble?
– Can I indeed get rid of them or can I maybe accept them as part of myself?
– Can I make peace with them?
A workshop that is addressed to those who want to investigate their personal saboteur and come into contact with those that give them trouble deep down, so that they can take the next step with more confidence, free from their beliefs that hold them back.
Friday 22/6 | 10.00-13.00
