What does empowerment really mean? Are we doing enough to support women around us?
Often it is men that empower women, whilst women have a tendency to hold back. Building a strong support network around ourselves is essential: it allows us engage with people we would like to develop, it creates a solid group of potential leaders. Most importantly, it helps us achieve our own goals. Empowerment is often an overlooked leadership skill amongst women, though one of the most important.
Our next Viva event will explore empowerment with two amazing speakers. Viva will then host a dialogue followed by a workshop to discover what we can do to empower more women in our environment.
