E4 has been a pivotal step in my journey into social impact. I feel more equipped and guided, with clarity that was missing before. Identifying my strengths has helped me make better decisions at work. Most importantly, meeting like-minded people and hearing inspiring stories gave me confidence in my shift from corporate to the development sector. I’m truly grateful to the facilitators and organising team for embedding empathy and strength at the heart of this programme

As I began my journey in the development sector, I was seeking support and direction—something the E4 programme offered in abundance. I gained clarity on my goals, explored tools and methods to approach complex social issues, and began aligning with the SDGs I care about. The experience helped me reflect on my IKIGAI and chart a path for the next five years. I’m grateful for the chance to learn, grow, and experiment, and I hope more women leaders get to experience this
