She encouraged female leaders spearheading organisations in this regard, saying, \u201cwe must consciously incorporate empowering initiatives in our interaction with our teams to build them up to take on leadership roles in their own space. This also means, being open about recognizing their unique contributions to the team through their own diverse backgrounds and experiences. This is the roadmap to creating a more equitable leadership culture\u201d Mrs. Cofie shared.<\/p>\n<p>Citing examples of how she and her co-Managing partner, Esi Asante-Antwi run their business, Mrs. Cofie stated that creating a healthy mentoring environment proves to be effective in providing team members, especially young women, with equal opportunities to excel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an organisation, we believe in creating a safe space for our entire team to express their ideas and opinions without fear of reprisal, as well as providing access to resources, educational opportunities, and mentorship. This is because we believe they deserve it, they work hard for it, they are intelligent and they get the job done. They are the right people to take up leadership roles,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also stated that in an era where young women are continuously looking for purpose and a place to belong, it is crucial for leaders in the business space and industry to \u201cembrace them and be open to having conversations with them on how to navigate their path in career development as well as leadership and how to collaborate to create ground-breaking opportunities where other young individuals could also benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Podcast was organised by Provoke Media, on the theme \u2018Setting the Course for Women-led Entrepreneurship in PR\u2019.
