Oh yes i really enjoyed Singapore 2020. And for me as a woman first and foremost, was the fact that there is the need for male champions who will open the door of opportunities for women too as demonstrated by the lady from Nepal/Tibet mountain climber. But for the men mountain climbers who asked for some women to join them on the mountain trek to Mount Everest, her story and that of her team members would have been different.
The men already agreed there was a business case for sure. But even at home and the work place, we still need the male champions and advocates who will open the doors.
Then there was the former female governor who said it was until she was at a cabinet meeting that she realized she was a woman! She had always believed she was that professional and career woman, her gender never came up till at that high political level! She looked back and suddenly realized she was a woman and alone and wished that as she was going up the ladder she had carried other younger women along! But then it was too late because it was at the point when she was exiting that office, that reality of one’s gender hit her hard....
Oh i learnt so much from Singapore really.......i will keep the rest
Singapore was such a great experience and i do not regret sponsoring myself at all for it. Great lessons i took away.
