63. IWD Special - How women can own their success with Shelmina Babai Abji

The theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is #InspireInclusion, and our guest today fits that theme perfectly.

Shelmina Babai Abji is a prolific keynote speaker and former VP of IBM. She is also the author of SHOW YOUR WORTH - the book that helps underrepresented women accelerate career success and fast-track into leadership roles.

Shelmina shares with us her inspiring story from her humble beginnings in Tanzania, to travelling the world to attain her degrees before realising her life’s purpose of advancing gender equality in leadership roles.

After finding her first job in her field, Shelmina quickly realised that finding her voice and her confidence and ultimately bringing more value to the organisation than what was expected of her, was essential to her finding success.

She brings a wealth of experience and insight to this conversation for anyone looking to fast-track success within their organisation.

In this episode, we cover -

Becoming confident in your own worth and the unique value you can bring to an organisation.
The keys to being heard within your role and progressing.
Why prioritising is so essential to success.
Learning when to say no.
The real meaning of perfection at work.
How do we move gender equality forward?
How do we ensure that IWD 2024 is more than just a hashtag?
