Pre-launch Highlights: We Took the Risk
As we move closer to the highly anticipated launch of, We Took the Risk, a powerful anthology by a group of remarkable women, ZionPearl Publishers hosted an inspiring pre-launch webinar that left attendees motivated and empowered. This collection of stories showcases the real-life experiences of women who embraced risk to pursue success and growth in both their personal and professional lives.
The webinar featured two of the co-authors, Joyce Wangu and Jackline Matarimo, who shared candid reflections on their leadership journeys, highlighting the fears, failures, and ultimate triumphs they faced while taking bold risks. Here’s a recap of their powerful insights.
Why Risk-taking is Crucial for Women’s Success
The webinar opened with a thought-provoking conversation on why women should embrace risk-taking as a key strategy for growth. Both speakers emphasized that while risks often come with uncertainty, they are also pathways to breaking through personal and professional barriers.
Jackline Matarimo, an expert in customer experience, discussed the importance of calculated risks in the business world. She shared how she had to make difficult decisions, like stepping into the challenging Nigerian market, where her strategies were questioned but ultimately led to growth. For her, the essence of risk is about believing in oneself, even when the odds seem unfavorable.
On the other hand, Joyce Wangu talked about how personal and professional risk-taking go hand-in-hand. Drawing from her experiences in transitioning into a new career in the NGO sector, she underscored the value of stepping out in faith, trusting the process, and learning from both successes and setbacks. She reminded the audience that growth rarely happens within the comfort zone.
Overcoming the Fear of Failure and Societal Judgment
An important theme throughout the discussion was the fear of failure and the societal pressures women often face. Both authors addressed how these factors can hinder women from taking risks, especially when societal expectations weigh heavily on personal and professional choices.
Jackline, a single mother of two, shared her experience of navigating judgment and bias in the workplace. Despite being questioned during interviews about her marital status, she used these challenges to fuel her determination. She encouraged women to move beyond societal labels and to focus on what truly matters: personal growth and success.
Similarly, Joyce highlighted how societal expectations often lead to women being silent in boardrooms, feeling the need to fit into traditional roles. She challenged women to speak up, take risks, and redefine their own paths, no matter what society dictates. She emphasized that as women move through their careers, balancing risk with security becomes an important skill, one that can lead to significant breakthroughs when done strategically.
