Packages Group organized an exclusive workshop on Women’s Career Development for its Karachi

Shakeel Mapara (Noted HR expert, Trainer, and Motivational Speaker) led the 2-hour workshop, focusing on “how to stand out as Majority while being in Minority”.

In the 2-hour workshop, Mapara covered three important areas: Self-Assessment & Awareness, Building Self Confidence, and Encountering Challenges through real-life examples. He touched upon the traits of high-performing women, and talked at length about “female leadership” vs “horizontal leadership”, emphasizing that just like men, not every woman will rise to a leadership position in her career yet every working woman must consider and conduct herself as a role model irrespective of the designation because society considers her as the benchmark of a multitasking woman juggling work, personal and social life. In order to be even more effective than her male counterparts, a woman should look beyond her area of expertise to develop diverse skills that are generally said to be innately possessed by men, such as problem-solving, deductive reasoning, cognitive, analytical, and spatial abilities.

Women remained actively involved throughout the session, posing thought-provoking questions and sharing unique experiences with fellow participants.

The overwhelming response of the attendees spoke volumes about the impact and relevance of the workshop.
