Good morning ladies. I trust you are all well and that the initial panic is starting to settle. I know that I have been quiet stressed out for these past months. But I am finally coming around and starting (I hope) to focus strategically on the things that I need to change, where to pivot and where to let things just be and accept.
Please stay strong, I will continue to share and hopefully be able to add some value and light to most of you.

Have you heard of the "Queen Bee Syndrome"?
The term was first defined in 1973 and refers to women in leadership positions that deliberately overlook other women for advancement opportunities in the workplace.

A study is being conducted by Dr. Aradhana Ramnund-Mansingh and it has received wide coverage on 702, Mail & Guardian, SABC and other media platforms.

Part of the study delves into the impact of the Queen Bee Syndrome within an entrepreneurial context in South Africa. Have you pitched your business to a corporate organization but have a suspicion that the contract was not awarded to you because the decision maker was a woman - one who might have felt that you were unqualified because of your gender or because she might have not wanted another female to encroach on her territory?

It's a fascinating concept and if you would like to contribute to the study, you are invited to share your experiences in confidence with Dr. Ramnund-Mansingh. Please send her an e-mail at [email protected]. Kindly use "Queen Bee: Entrepreneurship" in the subject line to identify the content of your mail.
