Global Business Women

What brings over 14,000 women together?

Ladies! Global Business Women (GBW) is one the largest and active English groups on XING setup in June 2006 with the purpose to 'spark meaningful dialogue' and connect you with other XING female members on business and personal topics.

The highlight of the group is our weekly 'Positive Monday Booster' to kick start your week on positive note. Often a deep and meaningful discussion on important things you wouldn't normally think about.

GBW could be a base for you in XING.. And it's for ladies only whether you are a premium member or not. You'll be one click away from any member in XING - male or female.

Our community values to be be thoughtful and respectful to each another.

So. What's in it for you?

• It's buzzing. It's alive. Your daily dose of inspiration within XING.
• A private, secure community of dynamic 'down to earth' professional women
• Your connection to inspiring women from different regions around the world
• Discussions of various business topics with real life stories and questions
• Diverse members globally with different views, experience levels and ages

And. What GBW is 'not' about

• A hard core business group
• In depth discussions about one topic
• Just one point of view, industry or culture
• Venting about men
• Paid advertisements or paid sponsorship
• A 'typical' women's group

Be sure to check out current topics being discussed in this group like 'Another unspoken rule of networking' ...
... "I'm so glad to have found this thread. As a new networker, it's best to learn the rules before I make some of these mistakes and get a bad reputation. What other faux pas should I avoid?" [Becky]

"My sister made me curious about this group, because she's repeatedly telling me that she spends hours reading and communicating within this group. So that's why I want to take a look, and hopefully it will also brighten up my life with very interesting topics and discussions." [Tanja]

"I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the
aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."- Helen Keller
