I recently completed Young Women Leaders Program organized by LEAP Leadership Institute, Women in Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN) and Young Women Leaders Program This program was an incredible opportunity to connect with and learn from other inspiring women leaders. I gained valuable insights on transformative leadership, obtaining executive presence in the workplace, effective communication and many other skills. I'm feeling empowered and motivated to contribute to my current role, pursue a leadership position, and advocate for gender equality in the workplace. A huge thank you to the organizers and mentors for this amazing program!

Female representation on corporate leadership teams is even lower than on boards.   The share of female participation in leadership teams across the world’s major equity indices grew by only 1.3% year on year, but remains, at 22%, well below the share in boardrooms.   Moreover, the lack of women in the top roles in the C-suite (just 6.5% of CEOs are female) remains the starkest indicator of the amount of work still to be done to gain equal representation across genders.

Diversity on boards encompasses more than just gender representation. Viewing diversity through the lens of different perspectives is essential for progress. HKEX currently has only 19% women board members, we cannot underestimate the importance of enhancing diversity at leadership levels. Embracing diversity not only fosters agility and resilience but also equips organizations to navigate change effectively and propel business growth. Thanks to The Women's Foundation for a great discussion. #Diversity #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #womantowatch
