A New Season, A New Level
a new season is starting at Benvenuto Club, and i am
happy to step into the role of Coordinator of our Profes-

This year, i would like to bring this focus to our commu-
nity: MY NEXT PROFESSIONAL LEVEL — From In-
tention to Result.
whether you are building or managing a business, devel-
oping your career, starting something new, looking for
a change, returning to professional life, or simply asking
yourself “what do i want next?” — this group is for you.
Throughout the year, we will work with our real pro-
fessional goals and challenges. we will explore where
we are now, where we want to be, what resources and
opportunities we already have, what may be holding us
back — and, most importantly, what concrete steps can
move us forward.

Expect a mix of practical sessions and guided network-
ing. less passive listening, more useful tools, ideas, con-
nections and action.
we start with a short questionnaire to understand
who we are as a professional community, what each
of us is looking for and how we can support one an-
other.
our Kick-off Meeting is planned for wednesday 16 sep-
tember — details and
invitation will follow
separately.
if your profession-
al, success, career
or next project mat-
ters to you right now,
join the Professional
women group, com-
plete the question-
naire and come with
us.
let’s see where we
can get by next June
— individually and
together.
wishing everyone a stimulating and fruitful new Benve-
nuto year!
