Why Women Make The Best Supporters Of Other Women In Business

Looking to boost your career? This year’s Great Women of Our Time 2018 nominees can lead you on the path to business success. Check out their videos here.

by Natalya Molok & Candy Lim-Soliano  /   September 7, 2018

Every year, The Singapore Women’s Weekly shines the spotlight on 18 outstanding, powerful and high-achieving career women in the Great Women Of Our Time awards. Meet Health, Sports & Wellness nominee, Vanessa Paranjothy, Co-Founder of Freedom Cups:

“My personal aim is to leave my little corner of the globe in a better state than when I was in it,” says Vanessa, who co-founded Freedom Cups with her sisters.

I think if the menstrual cup becomes the de facto way that women deal with periods by the end of my life, I’d consider it a life well lived. I would be perfectly happy because these menstrual cups have such an impact for women, and not just for our bodies or our wallets – but for the planet too. The Earth is dying, and if everyone would chip in, that would help!”

We ask the co-found of this social enteprise to share why she thinks women make great leaders with our soft skills:

The ability to "conquer the world in heels"

“I was brought up to believe that anything a man can do, a woman can do just as well, and vice versa. Being aware that we are fully capable of ‘making it in a man’s world’ and that we are equal – this knowledge in itself is empowering.”

A highly emphathetic nature

“In many instances, women seem to be more empathetic to the plight of others. Freedom Cups was started to help the very bottom billion women who have little sanitation, and if you do not possess that empathy to be able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, projects like this one would very well never have started.”

The deep willingness to give back
image

“When women work, we invest 90 per cent of our income back to our families, compared to just 35 per cent for men. This is reflective of how we’re wired to take care of the people around us, and if we could harness this trait or emeber it in the DNA of our organisations, we could change the world!”

If you are inspired by Vanessa Paranjothy, vote for her here and stand a chance to win a gift set comprising of Lancôme beauty products & Forever PANDORA Collier Necklace, worth over $220!
