Conference Day 2: Thursday 23rd October

9:10 AM SSOWOMENS PANEL - EMPOWERING LEADERSHIP & CAREER GROWTH IN GBS

As GBS evolves amid digital transformation and increasing complexity, the need for adaptable, purpose-driven leaders has never been greater. Yet, leadership pathways remain challenging due to gender equity gaps, unconscious bias, and self-limiting beliefs. This session brings together industry leaders from our SSOWOMENs Day to explore strategies for breaking these barriers and fostering inclusive leadership. From mentorship and sponsorship to authentic leadership and career navigation, learn how to empower women in leadership while building a culture that supports diverse talent.

  • Develop a strong leadership identity by mastering situational leadership, personal branding, and the balance between authenticity and influence
  • Break through career barriers by recognising and addressing unconscious bias, imposter syndrome, and self-limiting beliefs
  • Drive purpose-led transformation by adopting inclusive leadership principles that create high-impact teams in the evolving GBS landscape
  • Champion and uplift women in leadership by leveraging mentorship, sponsorship, and reverse mentoring to build a culture of continuous growth
