“WIFA is a great platform that offers network support and encouragement to young Qatari women who have the drive to excel and share the collaborative spirit to move forward at the work place. I am honoured to have been part of this event” Sheikha Athba said.

Shridhar Sampath Founder and Managing Director of Motivaluate presented the workshop on WIFA Leadership- 5 steps breaking the glass ceiling. “Change your language Change your life” he said.

Quoting leadership examples from everyday real and common life Shridhar demonstrated how the language that we speak in our minds dictates our very being which then translates into behaviour action and results.

Another inspirational message came from TVS Prasad a Motivational Speaker. Women are natural leaders and when they work with passion it positively impacts both their personal and professional lives. They are more efficient in managing finances and if every corporate can have women in key Finance roles there won’t be another ENRON or another Satyam Computers he said.

Women need to also take responsibility of their own success. Its when they start taking ownership of their achievements development and ambition there is no limit to what they can accomplish. This event has emphasized to our members the importance of positive desire thoughts and actions that manifest personal and professional success.”
