MentHer Magazine March 2022 - International Women's Month Edition

It was Sheryl Sandberg, author of ‘Lean In’ and COO at Google who said; “In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders”. There are many quotes I like about women in leadership, however when I think about the mission to reduce inequality, close the gender gap in corporate and entrepreneurship as well as create economic development opportunities for all, this one stands out the most. This statement for me epitomises the end goal, that now we’re fighting for equality, we’re taking up space, taking a seat at the table and even creating our own tables. However, when all is said and done, there will be no argument or need to prove that women are in fact equally or even more competent than their male counterparts, there’ll be no debate or unconscious bias, and hopefully no more “boys” club.
