Women in Leadership

Join us for a morning of inspiration and motivation.

“Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in – real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions, and it’s going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand.”
- Anita Borg

“More than ever, leadership is about emotions; the capacity to sense, to feel, to love and to empathise in the process of leading”
- Prof. Jonathan Jansen

Research finds that 41% of female managers are engaged at work, compared with 35% of male managers. This affirms that women leaders are key strategic drivers in business innovation, productivity and bottom-line performance - Gallup

We aim to inspire, equip and support all leadership development. Women, generously sharing their accrued wisdom and knowledge, is highly motivating and inspirational and they become the much-needed role-models for other women. We are creating these special places where woman can connect and engage with one another, to build relationships and networks, to create a community where we can uplift, empower and support women.

We believe that:

the story of one woman can be an inspiration to another;
women supporting and uplifting one another, makes us all more powerful and influential;
it is important to create new opportunities by sharing ideas and conversations with one another;
there is nothing more powerful than women who stand together with passion, focus and determination.

These events aim to:

celebrate all women in leadership;
put into focus the magical female ability to be leaders of self, teams, families, communities and others.
