You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

Today, globalisation is creating new opportunities for women around the world to become leaders. Manufacturing and physical jobs are now disappearing, creating a service economy where personal services and healthcare are the fastest growing sectors of the economy - fields dominated by women. As work becomes increasingly complex and global, the ability to collaborate and inspire teams are becoming increasingly valuable. It has been shown that women excel in these particular skills.
According to Harvard Business School Professors, George and Palepu, 7 characteristics of Global Intelligence are required for global leaders to operate in the new economy.
These skills include:
Empathy
Collaboration
Integration
World View
Self Awareness
Cultural Curiosity
