11 Leadership Skills Every Woman Need Before 2027

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” — Alvin Toffler The world stands at the threshold of one of the most transformative eras in modern history. Artificial intelligence, rapid digital transformation, economic uncertainty, climate pressures and evolving workplace expectations are reshaping not only how organisations operate but also what exceptional leadership demands. For women, this is far more than a period of disruption. It is a defining opportunity to step forward, embrace new possibilities and lead with confidence, purpose and vision in a world that is changing faster than ever before. Despite remarkable progress, women remain underrepresented at the highest levels of leadership. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF) and LinkedIn Workforce Report, women hold just 24.6% of C-suite positions globally and only 19.1% of CEO roles. In the United States, women’s representation…

Why the World’s Most Influential Women Think Beyond Politics

By Blossom Ukoha The world’s most influential women are redefining the meaning of leadership. While politics remains one of the most visible avenues of public service, the ability to shape economies, direct technological innovation, influence financial systems and drive social progress increasingly extends beyond elected office. Today, influence is exercised through governments, corporations, financial institutions, philanthropic organisations and technology companies, reflecting a broader shift in where global power resides. According to the 2025 edition of Forbes’ World’s Most Powerful Women, the 100 women on its annual ranking collectively command approximately US$37 trillion in economic power, up from an estimated US$33 trillion in 2024. Forbes also estimates that they influence the lives of more than one billion people, while the top five women alone account for nearly US$27 trillion in economic influence and impact approximately 765 million people. These figures illustrate that leadership in the twenty-first century is increasingly measured by…

Designing Homes That Inspire Creativity and Leadership

“Freedom appears a core characteristic: the person must feel free and must be able to adapt or choose the environment to fit individual needs and the creativity phase.” — Jan Dul, The Physical Environment and Creativity (Cambridge Handbook of Creativity, 2019). A woman’s home is far more than a place to live. It is where ambitions are nurtured, resilience is strengthened and ideas quietly evolve into action. Whether she is leading a business, raising a family, pursuing a profession or building a legacy, the environment she creates around herself has a profound influence on how she thinks, feels and performs. Jan Dul’s observation highlights a principle that has become increasingly relevant in modern life. Creativity flourishes where people have the freedom to shape their surroundings according to their needs. For women, this means creating homes that do more than provide comfort. They should inspire confidence, encourage innovation and support every…

Princess Catherine Climbs Britain’s Highest Mountains to Support Cancer Patients

“Partly it’s personal. I’m so grateful to be here, to be strong enough to walk these hills. But, more importantly, it’s to give something back and acknowledge all the incredible work going on up and down this country.” With those heartfelt words, Catherine, Princess of Wales, captured the spirit behind one of her most remarkable public appearances since announcing she was in remission from cancer. Over the weekend, the Princess completed Britain’s demanding Three Peaks Challenge, transforming a physically grueling feat into a powerful statement of gratitude, resilience, and hope. The challenge, widely regarded as one of the United Kingdom’s toughest endurance events, requires participants to climb the highest peaks in England, Scotland, and Wales within 24 hours. Covering more than 3,000 meters of elevation, it tests both physical endurance and mental determination. For Catherine, however, the journey represented something far greater than conquering mountains. She undertook the challenge to…
