Inspiring women to become leaders
A workshop titled Inspired Women was recently held at the Birchwood Hotel, as part of a five-day festival hosted by the Ekurhuleni municipality in partnership with Leadership2020.
Leadership2020 is a positive change movement and non-profit organisation aiming to positively impact 100 000 young people in the country by the year 2020.
Seduction, physical well-being, entrepreneurship and living a purposeful life were some of the topics discussed during the workshop.
Women from all walks of life gathered for an interactive session, which covered all aspects of an “inspired woman’s life”.
The session kicked off with relationship expert, Mandisa Mahlobo, who gave the ladies counsel on how to enhance their self-esteem and spice-up their relationships by practicing the art of seduction.
She was followed by Suze Styles, a businesswoman who shared her experiences on her entrepreneurial journey which she began at the tender age of eight years.
Titled “Creating something out of nothing”, her presentation focused on developing a skill to spot a niché in the market, taking calculated risks, persistence and listening to one’s inner voice when making business decisions.
She encouraged the ladies to remain strong when times get tough and to always be goal orientated.
Syreeta Smith’s Get Your Zumba On reminded women that their effectiveness in the homes, workplaces and businesses was dependent on the strength and wellness of their bodies.
The super-fit Zumba ambassador encouraged women to make at least three commitments that would change their lives for the better.
The Leadership2020 Inspired Women’s Workshop ended on a very high note with a motivational conversation titled “Unwind your mind to power your world” presented by internationally acclaimed author, speaker, professional coach and business consultant, Tumi Frazier.
Frazier had the ladies eating out of the palm of her hand as she planted seeds of wisdom in their hearts.
