Testimonials

I have seen the Break the ceiling touch the sky® conference go from strength to strength every year year: bringing together great participation from CEO's, C-Suite executives, Diversity & Inclusion Practitioners and founders/heads of business. The BTCTTS summit is really mobilizing a movement for building more gender balanced workplaces. It has something for everyone - CEOs to learn from one another on how to drive change and progress towards gemder diversity. Women who are looking for advice on how to take their careers forward and men who want to be champions for change.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, very inspiring. The best speaker on the day was Monique, her presentation was so moving. She captivated us (via zoom) and has inspired all of the attendees to never give up and reach our goals no matter what they are. I am very glad that Aramex offered me the opportunity to attend, thank you.”
