Voices of Hope inspire women business leaders

Business North Harbour's latest Women in Business event, The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership, was held on Thursday 12 June and the Channel Mag and Benefitz ladies were honoured to attend. The BNH series aims to empower women to lead with heart, courage and purpose, and keynote speaker Genevieve Mora – mental health advocate, co-founder of The Voices of Hope and creator of the Love Your Kite app – was a powerhouse speaker who resonated with and moved the 80+ guests. Her powerful personal journey – overcoming the challenges of mental illness and turning her experience into a platform for change – demonstrated how vulnerability, resilience and purpose can be transformed into powerful leadership tools. Her insights from lived experience offered valuable takeaways for female business owners, leaders and professionals looking to support wellbeing in the workplace while enhancing performance and connection. The session succeeded in challenging, inspiring and equipping attendees with the tools to lead with empathy and impact.
