Speaking as a keynote guest at the International Women Power Conference 2024 in Abuja, themed “The Resilient Woman,” she delivered a powerful message on resilience and its role in women’s success stories.
She identified jealousy and envy as retrogressive attributes capable of retarding the progress of women in business in life.
The Homadil CEO condemned all emotional traps, such as jealousy, envy, and entitlement mentality, saying they are subtle destroyers.
According to her, they divide us, weaken our bonds as women, and distract us from the real work of building each other.
The Guest Speaker emphasised the imperatives of all women embracing resilience to confront forces of regression and surmount all challenges on their road to greatness.
She said:
Godwin-Isaac, who defined resilience as the ability to bounce back from difficulties, urged women to see it as the power to rise above, adapt, grow, and thrive, even in the most challenging circumstances.
She explained further that resilience is the inner force that could enable women to confront life’s most daunting obstacles with extraordinary courage and grace.
She, however, lauded women’s doggedness and resilience in the patriarchal world.
Godwin-Isaac said:
She paid tributes to accomplished women like Margaret Ekpo, Ladi Kwali, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, etc, in the past, whose resilience and brilliance catapulted them to stardom.
The Guest Speaker expressed optimism for a more resilient woman laced with strength, compassion and vision in the future.
She, therefore, reiterated the need for unity and love among women to attain the desired greatness.
