Speaking at the session, ‘Balancing Career Success and Personal Wellness’, Group Chief Human Resources Officer, Interswitch, Mrs Tolulope Agiri, emphasised the need for women to have a strong support system in order to get ahead in their careers.
While noting that women are judged by different rules when compared to men even when they are equally competent for certain roles, Agiri said pointed out that many factors, including family and societal issues, complicate the lives of women.
She, however, advised women, who are creating value in their places of work, to make demands that would make their work easier.
“We need to start negotiating for ourselves. Find out how your employers can make your work easier. Women who aspire to be leaders should be more ambitious than before; act like managers in any position you find yourself. Work in synergy with your employers to make things work,” she said.
Chief Executive Officer, Carib Health Limited, Dr Sherese Ijewere, who spoke on the topic: ‘The Genius of the extraordinary Chromosome’, urged women to be intentional and attentive to what they eat and pay attention to the effect different kinds of food have on their bodies.
Advising women to live a healthy lifestyle, Ijewere said that “good nutrition is self-care because our relationship with food has the ability to impact every aspect of you, yourself and who you are to others”, adding that it was important to listen to the body.
“Whether you are caring for your skin, aging or you are treating a disease, you have to be intentional. No matter what age you are, seek the help of a health nutritionist,” she added.
