SheSays AMS presents UNSTUCK: Beyond LabelsEquals, Amsterdam 💡We’re more than our job titles, LinkedIn bios, or the labels others put on us. But in a world that thrives on categories, it’s easy to lose sight of who we really are — and how that shapes the future we want.🚀 At UNSTUCK: Beyond Labels, you’ll explore identity as the foundation for growth. Together, we’ll look beyond roles, labels and rehearsed answers to uncover what happens when you act from a place of authenticity. 🔎We’ll start with an interactive exercise to spark clarity about who you are beyond the labels. Then, in small groups, you’ll translate those insights into real, actionable steps for your ambitions, career and personal journey. You’ll leave with sharper self-awareness and a grounded vision for what’s next. 🤝This event is for women (and their allies) who are ready to define themselves on their own terms and create futures that reflect their real selves.This event is brought to you by SheSays Amsterdam at Equals and led by Franca Cumbo and Joanna Stone. <h3>What you can expect:</h3><ul><li>An interactive exercise to discover “who you are” beyond the usual scripts</li><li>Space to explore how authenticity can shape your career and ambitions</li><li>Fresh insights and perspectives from peers in small group sessions</li><li>One concrete next step you can take toward the future you want</li><li>Genuine connections with women navigating similar questions</li></ul>📅 23 September | 📍 Equals, Amsterdam | ⏰ 17.30-20.00🎟️ Spots are limited—reserve yours now! <h2>About SheSays AMS</h2>SheSays is the first – and largest - global network for creative women and non-binary people, with 55+ chapters around the world.

Inspired by the connections and confidence she gained from the community, she now gives back by helping others find the same support. She is passionate about creating space for honest, open conversations that spark professional growth and meaningful connections. Joanna Stone (Consulting on People-Centred Transformation)What drives Joanna is exploring what happens when the surface drops, when the person lets go of labels and expectations, even their own. In her work on transformation, she’s seen how honesty and vulnerability can shift cultures. Here, she’s motivated by the same: showing up without the mask and seeing what becomes possible from there.
