How do we encourage better leadership practices that can guide communities and organisations toward positive change? How can we inspire women leaders and aspiring leaders to integrate the values of transformational leadership and good governance frameworks more broadly and to embrace dynamic and progressive decision-making processes? How can we demonstrate to women leaders and leaders generally the tangible, positive impact of a good governance approach?
CIWiL Chapter members, stakeholders and the general public were invited to address these critical questions, examine good governance concepts and discuss how this approach can effect positive, sustainable and inclusive change. At this webinar panelists shared key lessons from their own leadership journeys and the barriers to women’s participation in leadership spaces, considered the characteristics of good governance that have served them well and explored the transformational leadership practices that promote self-actualization and foster enabling environments within our communities and organisations. The session was moderated by Dr. Tres-Ann Kremer, Director of the UWI Institute of Criminal Justice and Security and panelists included:
- Her Excellency, Ambassador Elizabeth Thompson- Barbados’ Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary with Responsibility of Climate change, Small Island Developing States and Law of the Sea;
- Ms. Tonni Ann Brodber – Representative at UN Women Multi-Country Office Caribbean; and
- Mrs Therese Turner Jones- General Manager, Caribbean Country Development, Inter-American Development Bank.
