The International Women’s Day was something that started as an idea in 1910, thanks to Clara Zetkin. It was tabled at the International Conference of Working Women. Now it’s a global celebration marking the achievements of women across the decades, industries and spaces.
This year the theme for the International Women’s Day 2022 is #BreakingTheBias, gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.
LeadWomen has organised multiple events in commemorating this event over the years. This year, we have decided to provide a more collaborative space where we can work alongside different companies as partners. Through the partnership, we are able to bridge the gap between expertise and bring multi-stakeholders together creating a meaningful engagement and impact in nurturing women leaders.
Join us in the different virtual sessions through March celebrating, empowering and giving space for women for better days for all people.

Session: Queen Bee Effect – Not what you think it is
- Date: 9th March 2022
- Time: 3.45pm – 4.45pm
- Contact person: Archana Pillai, archana@lead-women.com
Queen Bees are generally considered powerful women who are critically unsupportive of other women. It is a polarizing topic – be it its term, theories and causal factors, but one that is common in corporate settings and pertinent to the mindful leader. This talk will focus on understanding what the Queen Bee Effect is, how it impacts corporate inclusion, culture and leadership, with opportunities for dialogue in a safe space.
