Inspiring The Next Wave of Female Leaders At #WIMBIZAnnualConference

The theme for 2016 International Women’s Day was Pledge for Parity with a focus on getting everyone to accelerate gender parity. The conversation about gender equality in spheres of life particularly in the workspace is an ongoing one that is guaranteed to continue until the desired goal is achieved. Women have and continue to make great strides, accomplishing various feats in several fields, proving that they are just as capable as their male counterparts and sometimes better. So why aren’t there more women in positions of leadership?

At #WIMBIZAnnualConference, we will spotlight the state of gender parity in Africa, as it achieves global prominence as a key Sustainable Development Goal and private sector buzzword. Panelists will examine the different perspectives and what (if any) progress has been made in bridging the gender gap. Participants will be inspired and left with a strong sense of what today's crop of aspiring female leaders should do to leverage increasing focus on diversity to build successful businesses and careers in the private and public service.

The Art of Leadership

This session is designed to expose participants to the definitions of leadership: what leadership is and what it is not from the perspectives of people considered and accepted as leaders.
Specifically, this plenary session will:

• Express and explain the “science and the art” involved in leadership: at what point does a person become a leader? What should have been done or not done to qualify as a leader? Is leading people all there is to leadership? How does one lead?
• Identify and create a pathway to leadership from the experiences of the panelists.
• Seek to define the life attribute of leaders including the definition of the lifestyle that is associated with leadership.

 

www and The Connected Woman

We are approaching the end of what some have described as “The Jet Age”; an age driven by unprecedented technological advancement. It is important for women; especially female leaders to understand how this affects their leadership. This breakout session will therefore discuss the use of technology and social media in defining the leader in every woman.  It will draw on personal experiences of the panelists in building a case for women to maximize the use of technology in positioning themselves as leaders on the job, in their businesses, in their industries and in the nation at large.
