00:00I am here at Guardian Women Festival. It has been a phenomenal festival and

00:15event obviously and we've had a few panel sessions about women, how women

00:20are in business, how we can help each other out and it has been very

00:24insightful for me and my position as the editor of Guardian Life magazine and you

00:29know I haven't I've had a lot to learn today and if you've been here I hope you

00:34have as well if you haven't you know sorry you missed out. I learned today that

00:39we should stay authentic and true to ourselves. The second thing also is that

00:43don't undersell yourself, right? Know your worth, know your value. It's been

00:47great, marvellous, yes. I learned so much from the speakers, our women, how we are to

00:52position ourselves, you know the value we bring, that's how we should see ourselves.

00:56I should not settle to be average. I have to work towards being excellent at

01:00what I do. I should be proficient. So if I'm going to be able to sell

01:04myself high and not short, I have to be good at what I do to be able to, you know,

01:09charge your worth. Yes, to be able to charge my worth. If we're not very productive then it

01:13affects everything else that we do. Once again, still in the spirit of caring for

01:18our bodies, so let's come to standing to stretch for like a few seconds.

01:38Of course, so welcome back. Yes, and it's been the venue of course for this year's

01:43Guardian Women's Festival 2025. And yes, of course, the first session just rounded

01:49up and we're going to be asking people who attended how the program has been

01:53and how it was for them, of course, to tell us one or two things that they

01:56actually learned. Absolutely amazing. I love the conversation that we've had so far. I

02:01love that they're touching on several topics from financial literacy to

02:04investment to well-being. This year has been a lovely experience. I've got to

02:08meet a number of amazing women, both as part of the audience and as part of a

02:12panel. So I moderate a panel this year and we're talking about the impact of

02:16coaching and mentorship for women. I walked in here and it has been back-to-

02:21back, mind-blowing conversations about not just women supporting women in mouth

02:26but then actionable feedback. The impact of women cannot be ignored, cannot be, in

02:33fact, it still needs to be demystified in some ways because we have

02:38been put here to do what we can to make the world a better place, to make the

02:44world turn.
