What Happens when Women Empower Each Other and Thrive in Their Own Careers
“Babae ka, hindi babae lang.”
Women have always proved that they are way more than what society limits them to be. That’s why it is only fitting to highlight their triumphs – exactly what leading healthcare company ZP Therapeutics (ZPT) did this International Women’s Month!
Virtually, ZPT spotlighted When Women Win: Hear These Feel-Good Stories of Pinays Thriving In Their Chosen Fields. Hosted by Bianca Valerio, the session gathered a powerhouse of Pinays from different fields to elevate their inspiring success stories – Founder and CEO of Ideal Visa Consultancy Charity Delmo, award-winning stage actress Sheenly Gener, President and Founder of Rags2Riches Reese Fernandez-Ruiz, and Founder and CEO of Style Genie, Abbie Victorino. Even our host Bianca is a lady boss herself being a life coach and author.
I have to admit I was out for a weekend celebration with the family when I watched this session but I just couldn't miss it. The tidbits of knowledge they shared were so vital and encouraging for a woman like myself. And the fact that it's women's month and conducted in the online magazine that taught me what true womanhood is, I just had to watch!
Also, gorgeous Bianca Valerio was hosting, who just recently shared a thought-provoking admission on being a victim and survivor of sexual assault. Nothing brings us women closer knowing that we can only rely on each other to build us up. That there will always be challenges along the way.
Truly, these women have broken the glass ceiling. But behind the waves that they’ve created are unique challenges. Sheenly fearlessly detailed how a single mom like her rose in the film and stage industry, arenas that are dominated by men. Reese, on the other hand, shared how she’s always mistaken as an assistant to a male CEO, making her realize how women’s accomplishments are usually undermined. “Every time we needed to explain ourselves, again and again, we know that there's still a lot of work to be done”, she says.
How do they confront these struggles? Softness, which Reese described as “a strength in itself. There are so many things in this world where when we apply softness, it solves the problem”. Charity agreed, especially as a woman leader. Did you know that this boss babe encourages her employees to choose family commitments over work if ever schedules conflict? Truly, empowered women empower women!
When you don’t let restrictions hinder their success, anything is possible. ZPT’s celebration reminds us that the journeys and victories of modern Pinays deserve to be highlighted. Despite all odds, she strives, she thrives, and most of all, she wins.
I could certainly relate to the struggles of these women and knowing that I myself can have the same success as they have, gives me hope amidst my strategies. It's nice to know that products I am using including the Propan Multivitamins that was prescribed to my youngest kid is something these mothers use. After all, we rely on recommendations on moms who know more than we do and respect at the same time.
