The Inaugural Women in Leadership Program concluded on a high note with the graduation of 25 professional women from the South Pacific Stock Exchange listed companies.
SPSE Chief Executive Office, Krishika Narayan says the Program provided training on topics such as governance, risk management and resilience, effective communication, constructing support systems and managing the transition to leadership roles.
She says this gives an opportunity to partner with ADB for this programme with serious thoughts and an expectation of tangible results given the women’s lack of representation in position of leadership has been broadly acknowledged throughout the business world.
Narayan says SPSE will now take the lead and maintain a database that will provide information on women candidates for leadership roles.
Participant and RB Patel Group LTD Director, Litiana Loabuka says this course for women in senior management positions from a cross section of organisation was a fantastic progression.
Loabuka says these women from public listed companies were breaking barriers and going where no other woman had gone before.
The Program was provided by SPSE and the Asian Development Bank’s Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative.
