We bring women together through genuine conversation, shared experience, and thoughtful gatherings, supporting each other building life, career, or business abroad, without having to navigate it alone.
Being abroad can feel exciting and unsettling at the same time. You’re building a life away from home, looking for connection, clarity, and a place where you feel seen and heard. Maybe you’re feeling a little lost, rethinking your career or business, or simply wondering what your next step should be, without the overwhelm.
That’s where Where Women Connect comes in. Where conversations turn into connections and connections turn into clarity, collaboration, and new possibilities and exciting opportunities. In a supportive way.
We support you through connection, conversation, and clarity in ways that feel natural, not overwhelming. How?
- By bringing you into the right rooms through thoughtfully curated events where conversations flow easily and connections feel genuine
- By helping you find your people: women who understand life abroad and are navigating similar questions around career, business, and identity
- By offering space for clarity through honest conversations, mentoring, and shared lived experience
- By supporting your next step, whether that’s shaping a new direction, growing a business, or continuing to build your career with confidence
- By making sure you don’t have to do it alone!
Movement across countries, careers, and chapters. And along the way came reinvention. I started out as a flight attendant, moved into international consulting, and eventually stepped into entrepreneurship.
This journey led to the creation of Global Women Qatar in 2012, our recruitment company focused on helping women to build their careers in Doha. But women didn’t just come for jobs, they stayed for conversation, clarity, and connection. And that’s how Where Women Connect was born.
Since 2021, the community has come to life through events, gatherings, and masterminds that became very loved in Doha and are now growing in Lisbon too. These are spaces where things are said out loud, experiences are exchanged, and the women you meet stay with you.
Alongside the community, Elisabietta came to life, my foldable shoe brand created for women on the move. It reflects the same belief that runs through everything I do: supporting women as they navigate change, travel lightly, and step forward with confidence.
Today, women come for many reasons: career clarity, connection, support, or simply a sense of belonging in a place away from home. Let’s connect! With much love, Elsbeth xx
