On September 30, 2014, Accenture and WEConnect International in South Africa welcomed close to 30 women business owners at Accenture offices in Johannesburg to participate in a Negotiation Skills Programme. The aim of the training programme was to address the hurdles that women business owners face when trying to negotiate their business objectives in a working environment, and to help them find acceptable solutions to these challenges.
The women business owners thoroughly enjoyed the event and had very positive feedback to share. Ms. Stephina Lekgale, owner of Lakgale Mahlako Trading, believes that the workshop was highly informative. “It gave me a clear understanding of how to go about negotiating business”, she said. Kim Vermaak, Director of Beautiful Corporate Gifts said “I learnt a lot that I could share with friends and customers who are in female owned businesses”.
