“On the eve of the 98th International Women’s Day, the outlook for women is radically different to what it was a century ago. Huge strides have been made in the area of equality, choice and freedom of speech and yet, despite this extraordinary progress, there’s still more work to be done. We take a look at how far women have come, the key issue on the agenda and what’s being done to address them.” – emPower Magazine
The Australian Businesswomen’s Network was asked to comment on the issues facing women.
We commented that leadership is an area that we want to empower women to be their best at. As part of our charter we look to give women the business skills, information, resources, access to support and role models, and mentoring to help them become better leaders.
When we asked a group of women leaders what would help them be better leaders they told us it was access to peers and the skills to be good mentors.
So, we’ve put it on our agenda to give women leaders the opportunity to network with other leaders, a safe forum to discuss business (and life) issues and the opportunity to learn to mentor.
Our quote from this recent publication reads: “Leadership is the key skill that women need to harness. The more female leaders we have the more women will be able to overcome some of the (business) issues they face. It’s not about gender; it’s about taking a stand and taking control.” – Suzi Dafnis
