The GCIC Women Entrepreneurs Transformation Program (WETP) offered by the GCIC Incubator has been a profound journey of personal growth and empowerment for me.

Balancing the responsibilities of marriage, parenthood, and household management is a priority and also a significant aspect of my daily life. Alongside familial duties, I am deeply committed to leading my business, Eco-Me. The burdens of seeking perfection at home and in the business left me constantly overwhelmed.

However, through the insightful sessions provided by the GCIC Business Incubation, I have experienced a profound shift in my perspective and approach towards self-care and leadership. One of the most impactful realizations I’ve had because of attending the WETP masterclasses, is the understanding that to effectively lead others, I must first take care of myself. This has been liberating, allowing me to shed the armor of fear that I had unknowingly donned, and to embrace a more compassionate and balanced approach to life. The GCIC also offered me unique, one-on-one sessions with Dr. Amanobea Boateng, the Incubator’s Gender Adviser. This created a safe space for me to share and connect, galvanizing me to embrace the importance of refraining from criticism, condemnation, complaints, and judgment – a principle that has since become guiding pillars in my life.

The program also introduced me to the teachings of Mono Asampong, whose insights included how to lead myself whilst nurturing my well-being and mindset.

The GCIC Women Entrepreneurs Transformation Program (WETP) has been instrumental in catalyzing a profound change within me, empowering me to lead with compassion, resilience, and authenticity both at home and in my business endeavors. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have participated in this transformative journey.
