She attributes her success to three main aspects, family support, hard work and support from her mentors and colleagues

Sharing her advice to women who would like to attain CEO positions she says, they should recognize the potential they have, believe in themselves and be ready to face the challenges encountered as they climb up the ladder. The challenges should be used to strengthen their leadership muscles and gain more skills.
In addition, she says that the right mentors are key to getting to the desired destination in your chosen career. “I was privileged to have had two great mentors to whom I am truly indebted and without whom I would not have been able to reach where I am now, and coincidentally they were both men. Thus, I believe that there are many qualities that women can learn from their counterparts. Men and women need each other in leadership development, and it is not necessary for women to only consider having mentors who are women for career advancement.”
Further, women must pursue personal development and learning including leadership skills and give themselves sufficient exposure that will make them competitive when it comes to acquiring top positions,” adds Flora.
