Welcome to another edition of ‘in-businesswoman’.
Recently, we have been exploring some different ways of profiling many of the innovative and hard-working women in business in South Australia in interesting and relevant ways.
In this issue, ‘The Six Decades of Separation’ gives us the opportunity to introduce six very different women representing the age groups 20 through to 70. It was both fascinating and inspiring to discover the paths that have shaped these women’s lives and business careers – but I was rather working on the assumption that the experiences of being a woman in business across six decades would be quite diverse - the results may surprise you!
Variety is the spice of life so ‘in-businesswoman’ is starting to profile women in different ways – for example looking at industry sectors, providing alternative perspectives of several women in the same industry. Please email me with any feedback to info@hotpeppergroup.com.au.
As a reader, your views are always valued so please feel free to contact me.
Happy reading and best wishes for a successful new financial year.
