On Sunday 6 April, eight young women from BEAM and Thai Freedom House participated in a day long workshop called “Finding Your Inner Leader”. The workshop was facilitated by Victoria Fitts Milgrom, a life coach and women’s empowerment leader from the USA. The women who participated in the workshop learned about knowing themselves, their values, and their goals.

We learned that being a leader means being true to ourselves, and that before we can become leaders, we must know and understand the things in our life that we value, and practice these things every day. Identifying areas of conflict within themselves and between themselves and others was another theme, and each woman left the workshop with some skills to prepare them to face difficult relationships in their lives. It was a day filled with self discovery, growing confidence, and community building.
