Empowering Career Mothers: Insights from 'MaMa Crew' Talk Event in Shibuya

In a supportive initiative aimed at empowering women in the workplace, Frontier Inc. will host a compelling talk event titled 'MaMa Crew - Let's Talk About Women and Careers' on June 1, 2025, in Shibuya, Tokyo. This event is part of their ongoing commitment to providing a platform for working mothers to connect and share insights about juggling career ambitions with parenting duties.

With a lineup of three distinguished mother leaders from various industries, participants will have the unique opportunity to hear real-life stories about the challenges and triumphs experienced while managing both their careers and family life. They will share practical strategies, personal anecdotes, and lessons learned, fostering an engaging dialogue that aims to inspire and uplift attendees.

The event will feature a cozy atmosphere where networking can take place, as well as a special parent-child session designed to accommodate attendees with young children. A dedicated childcare space will be available, ensuring that mothers feel comfortable bringing their little ones along. It's a rare opportunity for women grappling with career confusion and those looking to take the next step in their professional journey to gain actionable insights and make valuable connections. Participation is free, encouraging everyone to join in on this important conversation about women in the workforce.

Background of the Event

In today’s world, women strive valiantly to balance their careers and family responsibilities, all while seeking to grow within society. The role of women as business leaders, including entrepreneurs and managers, continues to gain recognition and importance. However, a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare revealed that only 12.7% of managerial positions in Japan are held by women as of 2023, a stark contrast to the government’s goal of achieving 30%. The challenge of balancing child-rearing with career progression becomes increasingly relevant, especially for women in their 30s and beyond.

'【MaMa Crew】 is dedicated to creating a collaborative space for women to connect, support one another, and gain valuable career insights. Recognizing that many mothers may hesitate to attend such events due to childcare concerns, the initiative prioritizes creating an inviting environment for all attendees. Through the authentic experiences shared by the speakers, each participant is encouraged to discover their unique career potential.

As an added treat, there will be complimentary catering during the event, allowing participants to enjoy refreshments in a relaxed setting while they network and engage with one another.
