THE AFRICAN WOMEN CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

The African Women Chartered Accountants (AWCA), is an organisation whose key aim is to accelerate the development of black female Chartered Accountants. In offering advice to young female professionals, Babalwa stresses four characteristics :

1. Women should have a vision of what they want to achieve.

2. Do not let anyone undermine you. Once your vision is set, concentrate on execution with excellence. Build your intellect and strengthen your mind

3. Women need to build resilience through embracing their challenges and not be defined by their failures.

4. Women should align themselves with right people and mentors for support, inspiration and encouragement.

Be consistent, once you are consistent your actions become very powerful. Remember, the wind blowing in one direction has power.

The challenges will always be present, they come in buckets, and this is a fact of life, however, the challenges should not cripple you to inaction, embrace them, be resolute and keep moving. You rest you rust.

Fear is an enemy of success.Be fearless when you are out in the world. Be resilient
