In this Career Coffee Talk, we will focus specifically on two aspects of power games: the power of strategic networking and the effect of facial expressions.
Sibyl Schädeli, a Social Anthropologist and certified coach, brings extensive leadership experience from roles at the University Hospital Basel. As a skilled executive coach and consultant, she is specialized in women's careers, leadership, negotiation, and strategic networking.
