The workshop facilitated WISTA members to learn best practices in public speaking with several impromptu speeches which assisted many of them to gain confidence and develop their overall personalities to take up challenging roles in their careers. As WISTA encourages and promotes gender parity this event helped members to network and share their success stories to inspire each other.
