I have accepted an invitation to speak at the 2010 Women's Summit being
held by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development,
Malaysia on 8-9 December this year. This conference offers a platform
for women to discuss workplace issues and my job will be to bring new
ideas to participants on what women can do to improve their career
prospects and position themselves for success -
including dealing with the perennial issues of work-life balance and
networking effectively.
The summit deals with exactly the issues that I am so passionate about -
empowerment of women, achieving work life balance, mentoring etc and
will be attended by up to 1,200 women from the private sector,
government and non-governmental organisations. To be opened by
Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister, one of the key objectives of the
conference is for participants to come up with recommendations which are
presented to the Minister.
For more information on the conference and the speaker line up - which includes author and advocate Avivah Wittenberg-Cox - visit the Summit website or this artcicle from last week's New Straits Times.
If you have any suggestions on topics that you think might help spur the discussions along, I'd love to hear from you!
