Those attending the Women’s Empowerment Summit 2011 held in Nassau at the end of last month were given a crash course on how to prepare for leadership by the recipient of the summit’s RBC Regional Female Leadership Award–Bermuda’s Premier and Minister of Finance, Paula Cox.
The Premier, who spoke on “Preparing to Lead,” said that smart women know that it is persistence and not perfection that is the hallmark of a great leader and that women must be determined to make progressive change occur in the coming years.
The “female factor,” she said, is critical in helping to build and strengthen nations.
Admitting that there remained “a long way to go,” Cox queried, “where are we on the continuum of progress? Is the glass half empty or is it half full?”
