There is something hugely powerful about seeing a pride of lionesses in the wild, watching them as they work together to create a collaborative team where every member thrives and supports the others. There are valuable lessons from the pride that can be learned for women entrepreneurs as they embark on their own business building journeys. For example, looking for synergies with other lionesses, recognizing that we are far more powerful together than we are alone. Or understanding how critical good communication is for building positive, lasting relationships that can open up other opportunities for business. Or appreciating the importance of trust, knowing that a fellow lioness has your back in business and in life. The life of a woman entrepreneur, particularly in Africa, can be tough and often lonely - that’s why having a sense of belonging to a pride of fellow women entrepreneurs who understand your journey is so powerful.
