BWA awards send a strong message, says corporate winner
SPAR Eastern Cape advertising manager Roseann Shadrach believes that the Business Women’s Association achiever awards sent a message that females are more than capable of handling the corporate environment.
Shadrach was recognised for her contribution to the community when she was named the corporate category winner at the BWA regional awards evening in Port Elizabeth..
“These awards affirm that you can respect yourself as a female in business,” she said.
“As women, we don’t have to compromise our morals and values to succeed in the business world.
“My message is to remain classy and professional, work smart and appreciate your contribution to business.
“The most challenging part of being a woman in business is that we are stereotyped as being over sensitive and highly emotional. That, however, is our secret power,” she added with a chuckle.
Dulux invites London and Amsterdam to connect through colour
