On Thursday, the Women’s Leadership Programme (WLP) welcomed the first 12 graduates into what it called its “fraternity of assertive and innovative women leaders,” following a graduation ceremony ushering them into their new roles as “mentors and change-makers.”
This is according to a press release from the WLP, which said that the stage is now set for the 2022 cohort to use the skills gained over the past months “to positively influence others as they join a growing sisterhood of Guyanese leaders who are determined to leverage their training and abilities to enable the growth and development of their businesses, communities and country as they continue on their leadership journey.” According to the release, Co-founder of the WLP and Managing Director of Cerulean Inc. Lyndell Danzie-Black, in her opening remarks at the graduation ceremony said that after the first cohort of leaders completed their 10-month tenure of the WLP, “we have observed growth, confidence and intentional leadership in each participant…We the founders have been charged to continue our quest for molding today and tomorrow’s leaders.” Meanwhile, sharing on the content of the training programme, the release said that the other founding partner Michelle Nicholas, who is also Founder/CEO of the NICO Consulting Inc. said that every curated session gave participants the opportunity to “be authentic, explore deep self-awareness, abide in commitment, advance their outstanding interpersonal skills, and build on their exceptional ability to influence others positively.”
