see how the program has helped women leaders transform their careers
The Aspiring Women Leaders Program reminded me of the importance of self-awareness and speaking up for myself. I realised that these are two crucial skills, highly needed for both team growth and personal development.
I have became more confident. Also, I realized that my attitude towards achieving business goals, working on relationships is often more crucial than deep technical knowledge. This course also brought back playfulness to my daily routines.
My self-awareness has improved greatly, and with that how I make my choices more conciously.
I have learnt tremendous amount about myself and on how to leverage my leadership style.
The course provided great tools for further develop my business confidence, and in the recent months I have significantly improved on delegating to my staff, which freed my time to focus on strategy.
