KITCHENER-WATERLOO, CANADA, APRIL 2008 - This unique Canadian-Qatari partnership developed by two Canadian women entrepreneurs, Angela Mondou and Suzanne Grant, will launch a series of leading-edge leadership workshops in Doha, Qatar. Qatar now boasts the fastest growing economy in the world and is experiencing development at a phenomenal pace. These workshops are targeted at two business challenges:  women professionals looking to make their mark in under-represented industries such as technology, and corporate business leaders looking to improve team performance in timeline driven projects.


The W! Power Series™, is a highly interactive series of workshops for women aimed at the critical need to provide effective networking and mentoring opportunities that go well beyond the usual ‘meet and greets’ to deliver powerful ‘career enhancement’ tools and strategies.

 

Suzanne Grant, managing partner of The Art of Business, the creator of the ‘Spirit of Empowerment’ Global Women’s Conference, says “We are thrilled to be launching these innovative leadership programs that are well targeted to our current business needs in Qatar.  Women are excelling and expanding their horizons with education, taking on more leadership roles within the workplace, on the political map and within society as a whole”.

 

 Mission Critical Leadership™, is an innovative ‘boot-camp style’ workshop geared, Mondou says, “to equip leaders with the skills and tools necessary to get teams focused fast.  We offer something that other programs don’t - a powerful combination of best-in-class team building skills and mission focused tools from some of the fastest paced operations out there – the military and high-tech!

 

What’s their connection?  Mondou and Grant come by leadership naturally, having met as young second-lieutenants in the Canadian Armed Forces where female officers represented only 1% of Canada’s military leadership.  It comes as no surprise two decades later, these two Canadian women are still trail-blazing!
