August is Women’s Month in South Africa and we’ll be focusing on women in leadership over the next few weeks. Women leaders have unique perspectives, strengths and contributions to make but they often meet challenges that stifle their impact. Follow us this month for insights on how women lead, the barriers they break, and the benefits they bring to organisations. If you’re a women leader, we want to hear from you! #womenleaders #womeninleadership #womensmonth
