The power of women leaning in to support one another

Have you noticed what happens when you put enough women entrepreneurs together in a room and ask them to connect with each other to make a difference? Positive, life affirming moments take place. This was certainly the case yesterday when Lionesses of Africa held one of its Lioness Lean In Breakfast events in Durban, South Africa. We heard the inspirational startup stories of women who had overcome some of the biggest personal challenges on their journeys to building their businesses - and their fellow women entrepreneurs in the audience were there to celebrate and applaud their success. We heard emotional stories of heartbreak and resilience, of bravery and tenacity, and women were there with tissues and a shoulder to lean on, not to mention practical solutions to challenges being faced right now. Probably the biggest learning outcome from the morning was that if we are there as a support system as women entrepreneurs and reach out to help one another when the going gets tough, as it inevitably will at some stage, we are always stronger together.
