We recently hosted an event for women in business and it was magical.
Of course, my colleagues came back from the event and told us about how successful it was in empowering, engaging and inspiring the audience but I can tell how truly extraordinary it was by the feedback I still get today.
A Finance Director in my network contacted me this morning having read our 'Having a Voice at the Table' white paper and said that one quote really resonated with her. It was by newly promoted CEO of IRIS Software Group, Elona Mortimer-Zhika.
Speaking of her former promotion from CFO to COO, Elona said; "My job is no longer to know the answers but to ask the right questions and connect the dots” and this truly resonated with her.
She said; "This is something I’ve recently seen first-hand by sitting around the table with my seniors and executives where they do listen and take counsel as the accept they don’t have all the answers.
"This idea of being master of everything is a myth and I’m so relieved to read it reinforced by others. It is a message that not many leaders or mentors openly share!"
This was a perfect reminder of why we produce the content that we do and why we host such magical events.
