CBEN TODAY
When it comes to making the world a better
place, women in every region are inspiring new
trends in leadership and innovation. By virtue of
an unrelenting will in the struggle for socio-
economic and political equality, the image of
women and girls everywhere has progressively
been reshaped to reflect more of their
versatility. The era of women’s potential being
shrouded in the shadows of lack of opportunity
is also steadily being erased. But there still
remains a significant global imbalance in
women’s accessibility to certain critical
opportunities, and therefore, paving the path to
a successful future requires that today’s woman be prepared to lead,
inspire, and create.
Lead - A crucial step toward stimulating constructive change is for
women to take a more active and strategic lead in driving those efforts.
Current cultural dynamics at the international level attest to the reality
that diversity and inclusion are rapidly gaining ground, which favors the
progress of w o m e n .
Consequently, now is the
t i m e f o r women to be
a t t h e forefront to
r e p r e s e n t their most
i m p o r t a n t s h a r e d
interests, and in order to
sustain and advance their
individual and c o l l e c t i v e
development.
Inspire - Long before their
l e a d e r s h i p c a p a b i l i t y
r e c e i v e d recogn i t ion ,
women have been molding the minds of many generations of leaders.
Despite this fact, women must still compete to have their voices heard
above the clamor of existing gender biases in the home, workplace, and
society in general. Fortunately, the woman’s naturally resilient spirit
thrives on seeking ways to resolve difficulties. Instead of allowing the
frustration and discouragement of such circumstances to overwhelm
their intuitive strength, women must use such moments to motivate
others through their own example of dignified and respectful acts. Create – In order to expand their roles in contemporary society,
women must work toward establishing a sisterhood that harnesses the
strengths of their commonalities and builds on the value in each of their
differences. The resulting bond will enable them to transcend the social
inhibitors to their growth; it will also engender a consistency of new
ideas. The latter is particularly vital as women seek to nurture their
evolution and cement their status as contributors of value. The time is
right for every woman to be her best self!
