I was recently asked by Metro Minds to be a guest speaker at their recent High Tea. The aim of the High Tea was to raise funds for their Changing Minds Education Trust. Established in 2016, the trust focusses on one of our country’s burning issues: education.
The event involved an array of successful women leaders that included Lindie Dlodlo who spoke of the importance that we as women have on our generation, with a talk title “This generation needs you”. The High Tea also welcomed Melinda Bam (Miss SA 2016) whose talk looked at having “Confidence in truly being YOU.” Lastly, Rimona Taljaard, singer and composer entertained delegates of the High Tea.
My discussion looked at “The importance of education for young women” and of course I emphasised the most important aspect as giving us all the ability to make informed choices, the opportunity of achieve economic freedom and in turn of being able to do for others and seeing them grow and thrive.
I talked about how important it is to be empowered and confident in your personal and work life, especially as women. For many of us, our aspiration to become successful and have the potential to become great leaders in organisations lies within us. However, education is the key that opens these doors. It is opportunities at such events that we get to mobilise and emphasise our mantra: “Women are born to lead”. So embrace it and do your bit to uplift women and subsequently communities.
Should you require us to participate in any women’s empowerment event please contact us.
