At Smollan, we're dedicated to helping women succeed and grow. That's why we're excited about our recent partnership with Project Girls 4 Girls (G4G), which is making a real difference for women in our organization. We chose to partner with G4G because their approach to empowering women through mentorship and skill-building aligns perfectly with our aim to develop strong female talent and leadership. Our first cohort of mentoring sessions united over 80 Smollan participants across seven countries: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, and Taiwan, supported by volunteer mentors from various fields. This collaboration has expanded their networks, offered fresh perspectives, and provided practical advice for overcoming career challenges. Spotlight on our female leaders – Dong Hien, Deanna Yap , Shweta Gambhir,Frieda Wolmarans, and Hui-Lan Huang who shared their barrier-breaking leadership stories as guest speakers, alongside the G4G empowerment modules and meaningful listening circles. A special shoutout to G4G Malaysia team - Izzana Salleh, Sarah Wong and Fildzah Zulkifli, who have brought this program to life as well! We're truly thankful to G4G for this partnership. Together, we're not just talking about change - we're actively shaping a more inclusive and dynamic future for women in our circles! #G4GSmollanPartnership #DiversityAndInclusion #TalentDevelopment #FutureOfWork #WomenInLeadership #G4G #SmollanEmpowers #ProfessionalDevelopment #WomenSupportingWomen #Mentorship #GlobalSisterhood #SmollanSEA
