Women-led businesses struggle to find equitable access to finance, networks, opportunities and more. We are changing the status quo.
Unlock Impact has done an excellent job in designing a well-tailored and engaging leadership programme for women entrepreneurs which had the right balance between theory, self-reflection and networking. Aditi and Priya are wonderful facilitators who presented the content and managed the community with knowledge and great passion. Most importantly they were able to create a safe space for the women to share their experiences and to grow as leaders in their businesses and communities.
