Women’s success has been traditionally defined by career accomplishments and often a linear path to management and more senior roles. Today, as women continue to rise in the workforce and leadership positions, we are witnessing a shift from the traditional definitions of success towards a more personalized, authentic, and holistic definition.
This paradigm shift is often led by women trailblazers who are paving the way and reinvigorating the outdated systems which have often kept women lagging in their journey towards success. We are honoured to have these empowering women leaders join our panel discussion at the 10th Annual Women in Leadership Forum: Defining Your Journey to Success, to share their thoughts on how they define success and lessons from their career and life journeys. We hope to inspire you to reflect on your own journey of success!
