Female Entrepreneurs

Question:

Why are you, as a man, working with women in business?

Answer:

I have a preference for working with people whose true potential has not been allowed to bloom, perhaps because of age, experience, circumstance, education or even gender.

I believe that women are the inevitable future leaders of our societies and that we will all gain massively as a result. I also know that there is huge opportunity for any organisation that can step out of its limited, “safe” traditions and bring forward a more rounded, holistic and balanced way of doing things.

Women and their inherent creativity are uniquely positioned to do this. And I am able to help facilitate it. It’s a win-win-win.

I also find that women are generally more enlightened, more in touch with their soul, spirit and emotions and are able to converse openly about them. They may have been discriminated against and need support. I relate well to them and communicate freely without judgement. I work against the tall poppy syndrome (which is worse for women) by encouraging, supporting and validating.
