Women play a variety of roles in life – as entrepreneurs, as business owners, as spouses, daughters, mothers and many more. Women’s unique contributions to their personal and working life are well-documented. Their communication and people skills, “Web-thinking”, consensus building and having the ability to build and nuture strong relationships, often distinguish them from their male counterparts.
