Research among the top corporate giants around the world confirms that women in the workplace have proved their stupendous presence in almost every industry, yet we still face many obstacles in the workplace.
In a significant event for women in business that took place on December 16, Dr. Inge Zaamwani-Kamwi, Presidential Advisor on Constitutional Affairs and Private Sector Interface, played a central role as the guest speaker at the Economist Businesswomen Club’s breakfast catch-up.
The event, which was held at the Am Weinberg Conference Centre from 07:30 to 09:30 and expertly hosted and organized by Desere Lundon-Muller, offered a unique opportunity for the public to engage with Zaamwani-Kamwi as she shared invaluable insights on the theme, “Finding your voice as you navigate the corporate world.”
During her address, Zaamwani-Kamwi delved into essential topics, including overcoming self-doubt, learning to advocate for oneself, finding one’s voice, dispelling gender stereotypes, building a professional network, and mastering the art of negotiation.
Desere Lundon-Muller highlighted the global evidence affirming women’s remarkable contributions across various industries while underscoring the persistent obstacles they continue to face in the workplace.
“Our goal at the Club is to serve as a platform for the exchange of ideas and expertise, fostering purposeful networking to bolster the personal development and management acumen of our members. In doing so, we aim to elevate the status and influence of women in their respective fields,” said Lundon-Muller.
In her professional capacity, Zaamwani-Kamwi is best known for her leading role as the former Chief Executive of Namdeb Diamond Corporation, transforming it from a local diamond miner to a national corporation with significant impact. She guided the diamond major through the turbulent years following the great recession with great skill.
The event was attended by 115 business owners and corporates—an investment that promised to yield invaluable insights and networking opportunities for attendees.
