Sports managers from Italy, Latvia, Estonia and Slovakia were all in attendance, as theoretical and practical sessions analysing female leadership took place.

Lauras Balaiša, a business consultant, conducted the training sessions where he shared his experiences of working with women.

"Women both in sports and in other professional activities face such difficulties as reintegration into the labour market after maternity leave, skills are forgotten, often women do not have enough self-confidence to reach high positions," said Balaiša.

"It's nice that this project focuses on women and we can help them. 

"Also, the participants exchange good experiences, have the opportunity to be heard, which is very important in this process."

Balaiša mentioned that the training highlights information that every employed person should understand.

"This part of the training was aimed at improving the competences of interpersonal communication and communication in the organisation, and we are also happy to have guests - a lecture on creating a personal brand was also given to the participants in this session by a real professional, the founder of the Persona Cognita consulting company, Dominyka Venciūtė," said the Lithuanian.

"The participants were introduced to such aspects as the ability to express oneself more accurately, to understand the other more accurately, to ensure that the message reaches the right addressees. 

"During the practical tasks, the participants had the opportunity to notice their frequent communication mistakes and learn ways to avoid them."

He also added that he was delighted that sports specialists were willing to attend.

"The selection for the project is big, not all those who want get in," he continued.

"The motivation of the participants is really high because of this and it is gratifying. 

"As a consultant, I get a lot of questions not only during the seminar, but also during the coffee breaks. 

"Each participant in this project also has a mentor with whom she can consult on various issues. 

"Mentoring is a recognised development practice, a tool used around the world. 

"Having a mentor is a privilege, not everyone is given this."

This was the second "New Miracle" training event of the year, as a previous session took place in Bratislava, Slovakia in February.

Another programme is set to be held in the Latvian city of Riga, which is scheduled for April.
