CPA International Women’s Day Luncheon

Attending the CPA International Women’s Day Luncheon was a truly inspiring experience.

Listening to the women in industry speak about their career journeys was both motivating and empowering. Each speaker shared honest reflections about the challenges they faced throughout their career, the importance of maintaining balance and fluidity, and the necessity of believing in your own capabilities. The event also highlighted how important it is to support and uplift other women in professional spaces and beyond.

Being surrounded by so many driven and accomplished individuals created a positive atmosphere which made their achievements seem accessible to us. The speakers even left us with an interesting fact, as the only school girls there, that women who play sports in high school are more likely to end up in leadership roles in their professions. It was a great opportunity to visualise life outside of high school and to meet industry professionals.
