We have many women now leading big financial institutions, which many people never imagined a woman could lead. - Chileshe Kapwepwe

The skills and abilities anyone brings to a job are what matter, not because you are a man or woman.

For example, we know cases where if a woman just raises her voice to make a point, she is often told she is hysterical or aggressive, but when a man does the same it’s accepted as being assertive.

All women have to be aware of the pitfalls and these stereotypes and should equip themselves with the knowledge, experience and a lot of confidence, so that when they engage you in a discussion, they see past the woman and notice the person who is ably positioning herself and is able to deliver.
