I believe the impact of women succeeding more is not just individual; it can have far reaching impact to inspire our daughters, create more opportunities for all and empower others.
On International Women’s Day 2023 I held an event for local female business owners. I wanted to bring together women to energise & motivate them – from the feedback I think we succeeded! Above all else I wanted to encourage them to succeed – however that looks for them (the definition of success is very individual).
We asked the attendees of our event to let us know their thoughts by completing this sentence: the impact of women succeeding more is… Here’s what they said:
