So tonight we\u2019re going to sort of hone in on one area of women in leadership and that\u2019s developing your leadership identity. We\u2019ve taken this theme from our Women in Leadership course, presented in collaboration with the University of Stellenbosch Business School and it\u2019s really just the start of a conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thelm<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Janse Van Rensburg: I have very specific goals and ambitions, and if I don\u2019t take control of those goals and ambitions then I don\u2019t have any certainty of what I will achieve. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holly Meadows: So I was appointed Editor at Cosmopolitan last year in July.

You also have a voice inside you, and if you keep listening to others, you\u2019ll never listen to your own voice inside, but that\u2019s the rebel in me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marissa: Someone taught me one time, if not now, then when? And actually that I apply nowadays to every single part of my life.
