Building your career is similar to building your house. For a concrete house, you need to have a solid ground, a good master plan and, most importantly, strategically-placed support pillars. Your house will not be sturdy without the support pillars – a very similar analogy to the success in your professional life.
The WIL Forum Asia keeps in mind that your solid ground is your vision, the master plan is the path you choose to realise your vision and the support pillars are the foundation to help you achieve your goals.
4 key support pillars have been identified for the forum. These support pillars encourages effective leadership and help you take your role to the next level. The key support pillars are:
KEY BENEFITS OF ATTENDING
GOVERNMENT & SOCIAL SYSTEM
The government and social system help to determine the role of women in society by providing equal education opportunities and development programs. Public representation of women helps governments to better understand women issues and they can help in initiating and strengthening the role of women in building a nation.
4 KEY SUPPORT PILLARS OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP FORUM ASIA
SUPPORT GROUP
Shouldering more responsibilities than before: domestic life – daughter, wife, mother and professional life – emerging workforce of the new economy: Asian women need to balance both perspectives evenly. Family and friends play a vital role in providing support professionally and personally.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The right working environment provides a high learning curve, adequate mentorship, leading opportunities, recognition and rewards. These essentials help nurture and initiate women leadership in non-traditional fields.
Emotional Intelligence
Determination, confidence, emotional intelligence, positive attitude and dedication are considered as the main drives of success. Realising one’s own strengths and weaknesses will help shape priorities in life, provide vision and the road map to achieve the vision.
Saudi women must be given the opportunity to participate in social
evelopment in all areas and help speed up social progress.
HRH Princess Adelah bint Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

“I’ve had the opportunity to travel to the West so often, but this is the first time I’ve come to the Arab
world to network with women of all ages. It is such a delight to see these women talking about their
parents wanting them to be dynamic and vibrant. When business women from the Arab world join hands
with those from the Western world, I believe the world becomes more inclusive and that the conference
has created a turning point. I want to thank naseba for providing me this great opportunity to interact with
women leaders from the Arab World. I hope this leadership Forum becomes an annual event.”
- Dr. Kiran Bedi, India’s first and highest ranking woman, Indian Police Service
“I am honoured to be here and was pleased with all the topics that were discussed and the participants
I met at the event.”
Heba Fatani, Director of Corporate Communications, Kingdom Holding Company
“An important event and group of women achievers to hear their views. To share strengths, opportunities
and understand how to handle measures and threats. An excellent forum.”
- Aruna Katara, Dean Administration and President, International Institute of Information Technology (I2IT)
“The initiative to organise such a high level summit definitely helps to uncover new opportunities. I look
forward to following naseba’s future activities.”
His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud, Chairman, Kingdom Holding Company
Naseba is moving up, please keep the same momentum - I wish you all the best. The quality of the
delegates is exceptional. I have seen people here that very seldom gather in one place and at one time.
You have done a great job.”
