Women’s Empowerment Seminar A Resounding Success!

By all accounts the first ever Women’s Empowerment seminar presented by Milestone Development Ltd. in association with LIME was a resounding success. After months of preparation, this power packed one day seminar aimed at personal growth and development for the women of St. Lucia delivered all the goods. An all female lineup of unique and talented speakers highlighting many areas that affect women’s lives presented on topics such as: self esteem, ‘doing it all’, mid-life transitions, marriage and the other woman, balancing career and family, and managing finances. With such a range of topics, there was something in it for everyone in attendance.
Communications consultant and author of Bring It On! Women Embracing Midlife, Christine Schaap, kick-started the day by encouraging the audience to restore their shattered dreams. This thought provoking session was followed by local radio personality and motivational speaker, Angie Montoute. Her powerful presentation on having it all, career, husband, children, emotional wellbeing, health and happiness, was captivating and enlightening.
Country Manager for CMMB St. Lucia’s, Carole Eleuthere-Jn Marie, with over twenty years of senior management experience in the field of Finance, gave the women great life changing financial management advice that resonated with the audience. 1998 Miss Universe Wendy Fitzwilliams, author of Letters To Ailan, attorney and Vice President of Investment Promotion for Evolving Technologies spoke on The New Single Mother: empowered, enlightened, professional, winging it.
