Hypewomen the Podcast
With Sarona Wolter
ONLINE WORKSHOP
Networking Masterclass
01
A 3-week masterclass – with tips for connecting confidently and growing a network in a foreign country.
If luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity , then prepared to get lucky.
Last year I made a decision to bet on myself, I was stuck in my small circle and I knew that if I didn’t do something – I would stay stuck. I reached out to a friend to get me an invite to an event in Berlin. I had to pay the travel costs but I was able to meet some influential women who inspired me to dream bigger.
It didn’t stop there, in fact it was only getting started. Within a few weeks I got another invite to an event in Davos. This was crazy! I almost didn’t go because it was so expensive. But it was also an opportunity that could be so much more than I imagined. After some coaxing, I decided to bet on myself again. I went and it was even wilder than the event in Berlin. I met rooms full of women who were influential change makers – women I could now reach out to and willing to support my endeavours. The experience made me realise how much I needed to dream bigger.
A good network speeds up your success.
Join us on the Networking Masterclass to learn more on how to step out of your comfort zone. Whether it’s to get invited to some high profile events or simply connecting with like-minded people – this is the masterclass to be.

Born out of a need to connect with people of various backgrounds, her curiosity during the 2020 lockdown, led her to create a podcast for women, called Hypewomen the Podcast.

“Enjoyed the Intercultural Workshop from Sarona, she shared relevant points on connection and communication, which is good for us to be reminded and especially to put them into practice. I particularly liked the point on Ethnocentrism, it reminded me to not pre-judge a person/group but to simply reach out to others when in doubt.”
"I had the good fortune to work with Sarona over the past two years. She is very creative and has a great intuition for trends. Her open mindset is characteristic, as well as her ability to challenge the status quo to improve it. Sarona's ability to connect people is remarkable, as well as her way to think from an entrepreneurial standpoint."
"Sarona interviewed me for the Hypewomen Podcast some time ago. We talked about biases, the glass ceiling effect and cross-cultural communication among other topics. Her storytelling skills inspired me to set up my own show “The Digitalization & Diversity Podcast”, and encouraged me to voice my opinion on social media platforms."
“It seemed like the workshop was truly applicable for me, as an individual who moved to Bonn only 3 years ago and new to Europe. It was reassuring to see that my thoughts were not wrong!!
Especially in an organisation so diverse as ours there are many things we could emulate from her workshop.”
5 Stars from me. I received great Feedback on my Social Media marketing strategy. The feedback was very balanced stating what I executed very well and also pointing out areas I could improve on.
“Sarona had a very calm way to talk about a complex subject.”
''Sarona is a Boss woman, she knows what she wants and doesn’t shy away from putting in the hard work and going the extra mile to achieve it.
I have had the pleasure of working with Sarona for 2 years and she is creative, empathetic, reliable, professional, smart and knows how to manoeuvre her way through difficult situations and stakeholders. I hugely value Sarona’s opinion, her passion, and how much she cares about her clients. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.’’
