The topic of women in leadership and business has been done to death. It’s been dissected and turned into panel discussions with predictable narratives. Yawn. Blah blah blah.
What if we choose a different perspective regarding this topic? Forget about the obvious and necessary need for business acumen and looked inward? What if we explored the terrain beneath the polished posts and blogs?
Rather, we look at the quiet, lonely, gritty, soulful journey a woman must travel to become the leader she truly is?
Starting a business is not just a strategic move
For many women, starting a business is spiritual initiation. It’s the moment she stops outsourcing her worth. It’s the moment she chooses her voice over validation. It’s the moment she realises that the systems she’s been trying to fit into were never designed with her soul in mind.
Here’s the truth, what if we finally understand that for a woman, staying in a place she doesn’t belong is very much like fertilising the soil for her grave? So she does what she needs to, for self-growth.
This journey is not linear. It’s cyclical, intuitive, and often invisible to the outside world.
It involves:
- Unlearning of in inherited beliefs about success, sacrifice, and selflessness.
- Reclaiming her time, energy and emotional bandwidth.
- Reimagining who she is, a business that doesn’t just serve others but reflects her truth as well.
- Rebellion. She tells rigidity and archaic conformity to sit somewhere else.
