Top 7 Female CX Leaders To Follow

“A woman is like a magic wand that can transform your world. She is the one who can make your life much more beautiful and meaningful than ever before.”

Statements like these are often heard and said about God’s most precious creation. But as time evolved, the role of women in our lives has certainly changed. They do not stay constrained within the four walls and enjoy the freedom to say and do what they feel like. Certainly, this women power and her empowerment should be celebrated.

The United Nations too says that every woman’s achievement in each sphere of her life must be celebrated. Therefore, it has recognized March 8th as International Women’s Day (IWD). The day aims to raise awareness against gender bias and inspire women to fight for equality.
