Yasmine’s Personal Trifactor for becoming a successful leader in the Finance World

Yasmine has shared her 3 top tips for how women can become a successful leader in business and empower the next generation of women to come.

Embrace Progress over Perfection

Yasmine acknowledges her path to success may look different to other women given that she has been a Mum of 19 years, but notes that all successful leaders have a shared desire to learn and be driven by their curiosity. Yasmine also realises perfectionism can be a hindrance to success. Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on progress. Embrace the learning process, celebrate your small wins, and learn from your failures.

Share perspectives

Successful leaders are open-minded and value diverse perspectives. Listen actively to others, collaborate with them to achieve shared goals, and mentor them by sharing your own experiences and knowledge. Speak up and share your own thoughts and ideas with confidence, and practice effective communication skills, such as active listening and empathy.

Build a network

Yasmine has built a network in her career that spans over 20 years which has been pivotal in her career achievements. Attend networking events, connect with like-minded professionals on social media platforms like LinkedIn, and seek out mentors and sponsors who can offer guidance, support, and opportunities. Be proactive in building relationships and maintaining connections and offer your own support and assistance when needed.
