This week, Mexico transitioned to its new presidential leadership. I just read an article about how fostering a company culture that supports and empowers women is a strategic advantage. Here is a quick summary... As someone with deep Mexican roots, I’ve seen firsthand the power of resilient, driven women.

Imagine a world where women hold only 0.8% of leadership positions in the top companies of a major economy. 🌎 Hard to believe, right? Yet, according to a recent report from Kyodo News, that’s the reality in Japan, where just 13 out of 1,600 companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Prime Market are led by female CEOs. It’s frustrating to see this in 2024, but it also highlights a massive opportunity for women to rise as leaders in their fields. While the path to leadership is often tough, especially for women, it’s on us to create the change we want to see. The more I see studies like this, the more convinced I am that my upcoming book with Wiley is crucial. It’s time to establish a new normal, where incredible women leaders step up and create lasting positive impact. I truly believe that women have everything it takes to lead—and it begins with recognizing that within themselves. Let’s keep showing up, ladies—not just for ourselves, but for every woman who still feels like her voice doesn’t matter! Sheena Yap Chan The Tao Of Self-Confidence

This is such an impactful short video responding to a question by Sarah O'Carroll to our newly appointed Governor General Sam Mostyn. In my experience conversations can make or break any situation. Having been for many years early in my life as more of a talker, rather than a listener it’s been a big lesson in have learnt. There is a brilliant book How To Listen by Oscar Trimboli, this book is brilliant for communication in the workplace. I highly recommend as a resource in your workplace library Another valuable book is Crucial Conversations by Stephen M. R. Covey, this has been my go to and saved many conversations. I have gifted this book too many leaders over the years. #listening #crucialconversation #goodread

Does Your Company Have a Women's Network? One of the most common requests we receive at Strategic African Women In Leadership (SAWIL) is 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. It's fascinating to see how concepts that seem obvious to us can be revolutionary for internal networks. Many #networks treat this as a mere formality or perfunctory activity at best, but those that invest in training and a proper structure reap significant rewards. They not only thrive but also accelerate their companies' DEI goals. This year, we’re not only honouring SAWIL Trailblazers but also recognizing corporations that have truly mastered the art of #DEI. If you're part of a #women's network, this is your invitation to join us. Let's learn, network, and #celebrate together. Email us to RSVP and secure your table. Bring as many members from your Women's Network as possible. Who knows, your company and women's network may be featured in the 10th Anniversary edition of the #ExecutiveLeadership Magazine. leadership@sawil.org #AskAsanteonBoards #SAWILTurns10 #SAWILVision2030 #SAWILTrailblazers
