Chapter Chapter 1 in Journeys of Women Leaders Pushing Boundaries in Asia and Healthcare, 2024, pp 1-12 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Research has revealed that engaging in networking strategies like becoming a member of an informal organization is crucial in the career advancement of women leaders. However, this has been missing in Asia, as many countries of the continent do not have female healthcare associations. This led to the birth of the Women Leaders in Healthcare Asia, a group which started during the pandemic through connections on LinkedIn. This chapter therefore explores how the group was formed and how it has helped women leverage on networking in order to amplify their voices on issues regarding their careers. This informal intentional network created psychological safe spaces, peer support mentoring, and served as an advocacy group that helps to promote each other’s cause and break the bias at work.
