Women Leaders’ Self-Development Through Motorcycling
Born in France and living in Malaysia since 2015, Alison Grün founded FreeW— a social enterprise, established in 2020, dedicated to igniting women’s emancipation and self-empowerment through motorcycling training, events and tours. Riding since the age of 14 and embarking on her first solo trip at 19, Grün has trained over 60 women to ride motorcycles based on the Motorcycle Safety Foundation syllabus and her own practical experience of riding in Malaysia. She even organized Malaysia’s first ever Women’s Track Day.
FreeW is providing women from all walks of life with the opportunity to overcome their fears and self-limiting beliefs in a safe space, to build self-confidence and nurture the leader in them. Through its Corporate Motorcycling Program, FreeW supports organisations that are looking to attract and retain their female talents by encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone while taking care of their mental health
