In the very first episode of our Women in Hockey/Business series, Marie Brasseur and Nadia Clinckspoor engage in an open conversation about ambition, leadership, and female strength, both in the world of sports and in the business environment.

They share how sport and their professional paths have helped them grow, how they overcame obstacles, and how self‑confidence often develops when others recognise your potential. Marie reflects on the moment she became aware of her role as a role model and the importance of having more women in positions of responsibility within clubs and organizations. Nadia highlights that women sometimes set higher barriers for themselves, but that progress begins precisely by pushing past these self‑imposed limits.

Watch the full video below and let their stories inspire you.
