Middle East Inspiring Future Female Leaders 2025

Connecting aspiring younger female members and students with senior female finance leaders of large organisations.

Overview

ICAEW Middle East is piloting the Inspiring Future Female Leaders programme to connect senior female members and industry leaders with younger members and students, to share experiences and insight through group discussions.

 

Format

Our senior finance leaders will each host six, free, one-hour virtual one-on-one sessions over a five-month period. They will share their experiences, stories and insights each with the selected female member or student.

The first session will begin with introductions followed by the senior leader sharing their career journey with Q&A after. The following sessions will focus on particular themes and will be in an informal, confidential environment where the aspiring leaders can discuss challenges and ask questions.

Previous topics covered include building a career and career transitions, leadership and inspiring teams, personal branding and influencing, work/life balance, resilience and the CFO skillset.

At the end of the programme, we will bring together the senior finance leaders and future leaders for a celebratory gathering.
