🌟 NextGen Women Leaders Alumna Spotlight 🌟
Tersit Gebremariam | Ethiopia 🇪🇹
For Tersit, participating in the NextGen Women Leaders Fellowship marked a meaningful shift in how she understands and practices leadership. The experience helped her move from viewing leadership as authority and position to embracing self-awareness, communication, and intentional action.
Through the fellowship, she learned that effective leadership begins with listening, reflection, and consistency in everyday practice. One of the most valuable aspects of the program was its ability to turn real workplace challenges into opportunities for leadership growth.
As a woman working in a high-pressure, male-dominated environment, Tersit often questioned her confidence and leadership voice. The fellowship provided her with the tools and encouragement to lead with clarity, empathy, and confidence, while strengthening her ability to communicate and reflect with intention.
Mentorship and learning resources offered practical guidance and created a supportive space for growth. Being part of a global community of women leaders reinforced the power of shared experiences and collective learning, reminding her that leadership challenges are not faced alone.
Tersit’s journey reflects the mission of the NextGen Women Leaders Fellowship: strengthening leadership skills, building confidence, and empowering women to create positive impact within their workplaces and communities. 🤍
