[11/6, 6:09 PM] Quawiyah A: The Women in Leadership program was a total cruise for me;the entire journey was enjoyable.It revealed and cleared various myths and misconceptions held by the African society about women as being not ready or undeserving of leadership positions. These misconceptions so grounded,they'll have you question your own intelligence when you are finally faced with facts.Interestingly,the Learnaholics Africa was able to through this program,explain and reveal that these long held misconceptions about women not born leaders,are wild and unfounded.
[11/6, 6:09 PM] Quawiyah A: And what's more:the entire voyage through the course was jolly,gratifying and very interactive.That I got to meet lovely fellow women across Africa,is a bonus!😘

The Women in Leadership course came at the opportune time. After the vast skills I have acquired from the course, I right away know that I am a leader by nature. I brace myself to use the skills to make the community a better place multidimensionally as I bear many hats. Among the outstanding lessons include the 10 Cs of leadership, embracing leadership without a gender perspective, embracing sisterhood (she for a she), overcoming the imposter syndrome, acknowledging our success, and belonging in the C-suites with no regret. I wake up everyday with the notion that "you do not need to be a politician to serve your Nation". See you in the C-Suite fellow women; you are strong, you are beautiful, and you are powerful!

I am very greatful for this opportunity and am glad to say it came as a great eye opener to me. I have learned a lot that I initially didn't know or take much consideration of. I plan to put all that I've learned into practise as I scale the ladder of leadership as a woman. Thank you and may God bless you to continue imparting this kind of knowledge to more women.

I run out of words to tell my gratitude to TLA Africa for initiating the Women In Leadership Program. Through this program, I have got lots of answers to questions I was asking myself about leadership. I have learnt many strategies that I have already started applying to become an effective leader. It has been a wonderful experience full of fun and lessons. I hope this program will reach many more women in Africa.

For the cause of this program, I have been able to understand, experiment ideas, share amazing experiences with my colleagues from almost all the parts of Africa; how much of a difference the leadership of a woman is to herself, her family, her society, and her World. I also learnt how much of an importance my dreams and aspirations are and how much of a difference I can be if I take care of the "bedroom and the boardroom" because I know as a woman, I can handle anything because I am strong, black, intelligent, compassionate, horizontal, cheerful, bold African Lady. Thank-you
