Since 2001, Ogunte enables Women in Social Enterprises* – or “Impact Women” – to learn, lead and connect.
We do so by facilitating the creation of a focused, clear, and relevant message, the procurement of key resources, the reporting on impact & progress, and their leadership development.
After many coaching sessions, incubation and award programmes, we hear about the issues women experience at work but also personally.
Some of the challenges women in social enterprises often face:“I feel i can do with more strategic thinking.”
“We need more clarity about how we talk about our business.”
“I want a sounding board. It’s lonely at the top and my board doesn’t really help.”
“I can’t really live from my business but I don’t want to give up yet.”
Our cause is not really commercial. Is it worth trying to be a social enterprise?
“I don’t feel I am taken seriously as a woman leader!”
