Being Leaders Podcast

On this episode, I am chatting with Sadia Sheikh, an incredible woman who is making huge impacts in the lives of girls and young women in Pakistan. In 2002 she founded DIYA, the first ever women’s football club in Pakistan and has since worked as a coach and mentor to over 2000 young women. UNICEF has called her the ‘mother of football’ in Pakistan, and her influence in the lives of women is inspiring. Sadia shares some of her story, her challenges, fears and failures over the last 20 years, and it is a delight to have her on the being leaders podcast.

Founder of the First Women Football Club Pakistan, AFC Certified Match Commissioner, FIFA Qualified Administrator, AFC C License, Projector Coordinator Girl Power Denmark, President Sindh Women Futsal Association, Ponds Miracle Women 2018 and Mentor 2019, Chairperson Sindh Women Football Association, Member of LAS for Early Child Marriage.

In this episode I am chatting with Celia, an experienced leader specialising in gender, women's economic empowerment, business development and enterprise-driven social impact, and has spent the past 8 years specialising in building inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems for women in Cambodia. Since 2015 SHE has been supporting women entrepreneurs to scale up and create long-term social, environmental and economic impact for people and communities. They strive to be a leader and strong voice for the promotion of women’s empowerment; to build structures of support to enable women to lead as role models and change agents in business. A world where investing in women is opportunity; not charity.

We’re building an ecosystem of support – training, mentoring, access to information and financing – to help build them up and create impact for thousands more people. Rather than providing charity, our purpose is to build women’s confidence and ability to provide for themselves, their families, and entire communities.

She loves her people (and her cats), is a brilliant visionary leader and a wonderful human. www.sheinvestments.com
