A statement issued by the company’s Corporate Commu­nications Manager, Shirley Tony Kum, indicated that the event was is in line with the compa­ny’s commitment to empow­ering female employees, and provide them with the tools and confidence needed to excel in their careers and personal lives.

As a company committed to the promotion of female diversity and inclusion, we will continue to provide support and create an enabling environment for women to take charge of their own growth and drive positive change within our organisation and beyond,” Mr Arlandis said.

Mrs Rita Krampah, a cor­porate trainer, emphasised the importance of developing self-confidence through positive self-talk.

She shared various affirma­tive phrases and initiatives that could inspire individuals, ulti­mately fostering steady growth in boosting their confidence and abilities.

Drawing from her person­al experiences with positive self-talk, Mrs Krampah stated that, “My crucible transformed me. It will transform you if you leverage the opportunities it presents to build confidence in yourself. Don’t personalise negative perceptions.”

To foster individual involve­ment, the session included a group discussion where em­ployees were actively engaged in exploring and practicing pos­itive self-talk techniques. This segment allowed participants to share their experiences, learn from one another and strength­en the day’s lessons.
