Based on our many years of work experience, practical examples, everyday tips and how to deal with stumbling blocks, we will show you the exact seven steps you need to take next, and which tools and resources you should apply for your own career.
It's time to fix the broken rung – together.
Of course it is important that we continuously break through the glass ceiling. But we also have to fix the 'broken rungs' – the rungs that prevent us from reaching the very first level of management. Because as long as that's not fixed, we women will stay in entry-level positions much longer than men.
Imagine what we can achieve together if we create fundamental changes at the beginning of the pipeline! What if you:could master the office politics skillfully and turn them to your advantage?could converse and exchange ideas with others with natural ease?would know how to successfully position and sell yourself so that you'd be considered for high-visibility projects?could build up so much self-confidence that you would dare to take on new challenges?have the best promotion prerequisites in your team?
We firmly believe that when we women support, empower and celebrate each other, we create equality.
We want solutions. Now we are part of the solution. And we will never stop sharing our knowledge and experience with ambitious women so that they can benefit from it, and don't have to start from scratch like other women do.Mary & Stef

We are Marilen Alison Schwald and Stefanie Céline Fehr – the co-founders behind womenmatter/s
A few years ago we were looking for the right network, attended various 'Lunch & Learns' and other events to pursue our desire for an active exchange with other career women. We did find women's networks, but they all seemed quite old-fashioned – and that didn't suit us. Also, these women were always much more advanced in their careers and sometimes seemed unapproachable or their success unattainable. Some even had this men-hater mentality, which didn't sit well with us either. We don't see ourselves as victims and don't find men categorically stupid. That's why we founded womenmatter/s. A modern network and career development program that is perfectly tailored to women and their concerns. We have completely different personalities, yet we have a lot in common. While Mary is outgoing and sees opportunity in everything, Stef is introverted with a scientific focus. We complement each other perfectly, allowing us to work together towards our ultimate goal: to support, empower and celebrate more career women so that together we can fill the long-term female talent pipeline.
