The National School of Government (NSG) is proud to host a MasterClass on August 3, 2023, that will be led by Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka. The MasterClass is a program designed to empower women in the public sector and is aptly titled “Breaking the Glass Ceiling through Coaching and Executive Leadership Programmes for Women in the Public Sector.”
The term “glass ceiling” refers to an invisible barrier that hinders the career progression of women, leading to significant disparities in pay, job choices, and overall professional prestige. Women in the public sector are often the most affected by this issue, owing to discrimination, limited access to resources, and a lack of supportive networks.
The MasterClass is designed to address these challenges by promoting a culture of mentorship and leadership development. The program aims to empower women to navigate their career paths confidently and effectively. The MasterClass will also explore the importance of cultivating resilience, self-esteem, and self-efficacy among women in the public sector, as these qualities are essential for overcoming the glass ceiling and achieving long-term professional success.
Dr Mlambo-Ngcuka will be joined by three distinguished panelists:
These accomplished leaders will provide valuable insights and share their own experiences in overcoming obstacles and ascending to prominent positions.
The event is scheduled for August 3, 2023, from 11:00 to 13:00. Women working in the public sector are invited to join the discussion and learn from the experiences and wisdom of these remarkable leaders. Interested participants can register for virtual attendance at https://thensg-gov-za.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3515Rv-oTPmZYTT7dV7n5A.
The MasterClass serves as an important reminder of the need for continued progress in gender equality and empowerment. The NSG MasterClass aims to inspire women to shatter the glass ceiling and achieve their full potential in their careers and beyond. The event is not just a one-time discussion; it is part of a larger movement to promote gender equity in the public sector and beyond. By sharing tools, resources, and support, women can be empowered to reach new heights, break down barriers, and create a more inclusive and equitable society for all. As the world continues to evolve and progress, the voices and talents of women in the public sector will be increasingly vital in shaping the future. And this MasterClass is one step closer to ensuring that their potential is fully realized.
