Held as a digital event this year, the everywoman Forum India 2020 continued to ignite ambition – giving the women of India the chance to expand their network, learn new skills, hear from an international panel of speakers, and to give them the support they need to thrive in these challenging times.
Spanning over two weeks in September, The EveryWoman Digital Forum witnessed exciting case studies and panel discussions on numerous career topics, practical power hours led by expert trainers to help one present themselves and their team more effectively, as well as inspirational keynotes and career development stories from India’s most senior female and male business leaders in the industry including Shanti Ekambara, Group President – Consumer Banking, Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd, Fumbi Chima, Global Cio, Adidas, Caroline Rush Cbe, Chief Executive, British Fashion Council, Parineeta Sethi, Chief Editor & Publisher – Pinnacle Connect Llp, Aparna George, Founding Member, Unfold Consulting, and more.
Running over two weeks in September, the first week offered Executive Leadership Programme of high-level training designed to help further the development of credible and impactful female leaders.
Session 1: Femin-Win Leadership delved into the emerging vulnerable groups in the current context of the pandemic, changes in the employee mindset and what it means to lead during these uncertain times. Session 2: Role Model Panel & Interactive Q&A was a highly interactive and engaging panel wherein four international female leaders shared stories of their career journeys, and how they experienced some of the learnings that they have taken away from them, and at last Session 3 talked about Managing Emotional Contagion for High Performing Teams.
The second week of the forum featured the virtual forum – spaced over 3 hours each afternoon, enabling participants to gain industry insights and share best practices, knowledge and development directly from global peers and thought leaders. Much like the real-world experience, the online forum provided a platform for thought leaders and trainers to provide practical insight and leadership advice to the audience via interactive role model webinars, roundtables and speed mentorship sessions.
From discussing going beyond leadership in an Era of Change, The Business Case for Diversity, Thriving in the New Normal and Creating Healthy and Mindful Workplaces to Advancing, and empowering women in business, the enlightening forum ended on an introspective note with a session on Reflection and Goal Setting – everywoman’s Ambition Hour: Your Guide to Building & Executing Your Personal Development Plan.
