I had the honour of attending the Young Woman Leadership Summit 2023
organized by the Working Women Welfare Trust, in conjunction with my university
(Jinnah university for Women) and it was truly a remarkable experience. It
reinforced a fundamental belief of mine: that whether a woman is a working
professional or a homemaker, she juggles multiple roles with incredible skill
and grace. Women have the power to pursue their dreams when they are determined
to do so.
As a part of today’s generation, I firmly believe that being a working woman is
not just a choice; it’s a necessity. Women are undeniably powerful, capable of
excelling in roles traditionally associated with men, especially in the
corporate world. I don’t mean this in terms of demanding equal rights, but
rather in recognizing the innate ability of women to thrive in diverse fields.
The summit emphasized what I like to call the “5 Ps of Success” – Passion,
Productivity, Positivity, Purpose, and Progress. When these five elements align
in our lives, women can achieve remarkable things. The event featured five
insightful panelists who shared their personal journeys to success. Their
stories underscored the importance of understanding our purpose, making
decisions with a clear sense of purpose, and maintaining a positive mindset when
facing life’s challenges.
Passion is the driving force behind our goals; without it, true progress is
elusive. Productivity is the key to advancing in our careers, as it helps us
overcome hurdles and create innovative solutions. No matter the obstacles, we
must forge our own paths and discover ways to overcome them.
Crucially, our career choices should be driven by our interests, not merely by
external demand. When we follow our passions, our dedication and determination
become powerful tools for achieving our goals.
In conclusion, the Young Woman Leadership Summit 2023 was a testament to the
incredible potential of women in all walks of life. Let’s remember the 5 Ps –
Passion, Productivity, Positivity, Purpose, and Progress – as guiding principles
on our journey to success. Together, we can shatter glass ceilings and redefine
what’s possible.
