Welcome to SHIFT HAPPENS, a global take on Women’s Turning Points and Pivotal Moments
We all have a story about how our lives have shifted, sometimes intentionally, other times not. Yet, when we look back, most of us forget the strength, creativity, resilience, perseverance, joy, and grit that got us through our transition.
In SHIFT HAPPENS, host Claudia Mahler taps into her experience curating international women’s events to invite women at all stages of life to share when and how that shift happened in their lives. In open and intimate conversations, Claudia speaks to women from diverse cultures, countries, and walks of life about their pivotal moments.
Tune in to feel heard, find connection, and leave inspired by these frank and powerful accounts about the intersection of personal and professional growth.
