A couple of weeks ago, the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) and the Filipina CEO Circle organized a forum entitled, “Women Next: Accelerating tomorrow to now.” The half-day event brought together the country’s top business leaders, innovators and disruptors to help women fast-track their careers and their journey to leadership positions. We had almost 2,000 attendees from various industries, holding equally diverse positions in their respective organizations, each with a unique career goal or concern that would have no doubt influenced their choices among the 12 breakout sessions available that afternoon.
