Global Women in Business and Leadership Summit & Awards 2023

The Global Women in Business and Leadership Summit and Awards is focused on the advancement of local women in corporate leadership and entrepreneurship. This initiative aims to encourage and nurture the entrepreneurial spirit within our community, drive business performance to create a competitive advantage for local women in our corporate environment, and transform local businesswomen into outstanding leaders who can contribute more broadly to their firm’s ongoing success.

The Global Women in Business and Leadership Summit and Awards (#GWBLSA2023), sponsored in collaboration with The Great Leaders Council, is an opportunity to honour and learn from outstanding women in business and leadership from across the world. Hear from the women who are breaking down barriers and empowering one another through leadership in the areas of sustainability, impact, innovation, and partnership.

The purpose of the event is to provide influential businesswomen with the tools they need to improve their leadership influence and to provide professionals of all genders with the knowledge they need to support and encourage their female colleagues.

This event will bring together seasoned female industry leaders, managers, executives, and business owners who are breaking down boundaries and supporting one another. The summit brings together CEOs, SVPs, VPs, Directors, Heads of Departments, Managers, and aspiring leaders to share ideas and their personal leadership struggles and accomplishments. During the two-day Women in Business and Leadership Summit and Awards, you will have enough opportunities to network with leaders whose aim is to promote sustainable economic development through sustainability, impact, innovation, and partnership leadership.

You will hear practical advice on how to progress, overcome challenges, and ways to drive career growth. It will also inspire you to seek your highest level of personal and professional development.  We are looking forward to welcoming you to the summit.

Schedule

We have always been told the journey to the top is linear, however, one size doesn't fit all. Your career path is not a one way street, you will learn different skills and knowledge from different leaders and different roles. These opportunities will allow for you to grow and advance in ways you couldn't have imagined. Sometimes taking a step to the side or down one can seem like you’re not making any progress but this session will change your mind.

Learn the importance of self reflection

Understand your journey is unique and should suit you!

Progress your personal and professional skills in unexpected ways

Speakers:

Challenges are an inevitable part of life. Whether it be challenging times, people or circumstances – most of us can relate to coming up against roadblocks in life that feel hard, unfair, or even devastating at times.

In times of struggle, having a resilient spirit becomes an asset that seems to transform challenges into opportunities for growth.

Speakers:

Leaders need many skills, but some are more critical than others - but arguably the most important one of all is communication. Whether it’s making presentations, having difficult conversations with people in your own team, or delivering change in your organisation, communication lies at the heart of your effectiveness as a leader. This session will help you to uncover the communication style that works best for you, learn how to influence others, and adapt your communication to different audiences, to achieve the greatest impact, and truly find your voice in your career.

Uncover your communication style

Discover the art of influential communication

Develop a communication strategy for stakeholder engagement

Speakers:

The percentage of women in the world at the executive level is 23%. This highlights that we have a way to go to close the gap at the top. One key way of achieving this is mentorship from those select few who have reached the top. Transferring knowledge and experience can help lift your colleagues up and empower women in your industry to reach their full potential.

Understand the role of mentorship

Lifting those around you as you lead

Sharing knowledge can have a huge impact on those around you

Speakers:

If you can change your mindset you can accomplish and take your business to a new level. It’s a benefit to keeping faith in your business plans. There are times when you may feel stagnant, and thoughts of defeat arise but remember that faith moves forward it has no reverse. It’s our thoughts, perspective, and faith that will catapult you to higher heights. Effective personal growth requires a positive mindset and when you challenge your mind to shift, your business will shift for the better.

Speakers:

A strong team foundation can have a direct impact on engagement, effectiveness, and outcomes. Every leader and team strives for positive outcomes and a supportive working environment, however in a high pressure setting this can become a challenge. Deep dive into how to lead in an ever changing environment and achieve quality engagement and outcomes.

Experience positive outcomes through team engagement

Support team effectiveness and relationships

Create connections with your teams and consumers

You already know there’s never been a better time to start expanding your business globally. But knowing something and knowing how to do it are two different things.

Speakers:

Wondering if your business idea or growth strategy is viable? Learn how to evaluate and validate a business idea or a growth strategy for an existing business using the business model canvas. Explore how the canvas can help you evaluate and validate an idea or a strategy for growth before you start investing your time, money, and resources!

Speakers:

Amid tech and media overload, how can brands stand out to position themselves as the partner of choice for clients? In this workshop, attendees will learn best practices to elevate their digital and social media presence that will “stop the scroll”.

FAQ

Being a successful woman in business means having the courage to own who you are, why you are doing what you do and how you can apply your vision to positively impact the world. A successful woman is confidently feminine and eager to learn and grow. She has achieved balance and perspective in all aspects of her life.

One big advantage women offer the business world and management, in particular, is that they have different sets of life and work experiences than men do and thus different perspectives. Their skills are unique as well. This leads to different opinions, different preferences and different strategies.

Women entrepreneurs often face challenges in accessing funding, feeling respected as business owners, and building a support system. To overcome these challenges, women entrepreneurs often create their own support systems, overcome their insecurities, and reach out to other women entrepreneurs.

According to the Caliper study of the Qualities that Distinguish Women Leaders, women leaders are more assertive and persuasive; have a stronger need to get things done; and are more willing to take risks than male leaders. This approach to leadership helps women better facilitate collaboration and information-sharing

To be a successful businesswoman you have to be assertive, otherwise people will not respect you. Convey assertiveness by being fearless, speaking with authority and purpose. Adopt a confident manner, deal with any criticism rationally and be calm, cool and considered.
