WEDO

What a remarkable session! We thank our esteemed speakers for their invaluable input, and we thank you for your participation! Until our 4th and final episode for July, let us take a look back at the 3rd episode of WEDO presents "LeadWomen" - Webinar Series on Women Empowerment.

Insights from 3rd session:

1. In order for any learning to take place, one must attempt and fail and in turn, accept that failure. It is highly important to be able to treat failure as what it is - a lesson, from which one can potentially formulate the winning combination. It takes courage to fail as many times as is necessary for one to succeed. The only ones who succeed are the ones that have tried and failed innumerable times before they devised the successful formula of parameters. Young women and little girls must be encouraged to try and fail at something enough to develop a proficiency at it, and taught the true power of determination.

2. Women are expected by society to adhere to certain unreasonable standards of beauty, dutifulness and submission, more so than men. The pressure to be “perfect” often bears heavily on the shoulders of women, and is a distraction that they could do without. They should be encouraged to set their own standards and to be comfortable with their imperfections.

3. More and more women should be exposed to the current, modern practice of collaborative workplaces where workers operate in teams of people with diverse backgrounds and skills. Organizations must embrace the expansion of diversity in their work spaces in order to generate most favorable outcomes and maximize innovation. It is highly important to increase female representation at executive or board level and so, some focus should be on the development of the emotionally intelligent female professional who possesses a wide array of soft skills that would allow her to navigate high-stakes situations with ease.

4. Women have always been historically characterized by compassion and sensitivity, and should now be characterized by toughness and grit. They must be taught to lead with compassion, and to not shy away from confrontation. In other words, women must learn to not remain passive, and to assume their roles as active enforcers of their rights to speak for themselves. Thus they must assume strong, gritty and serious personas in order to be on the frontline in any industry.
