Hirsch’s Hillcrest branch recently held their monthly Margaret Hirsch Woman In Business Achiever of the Year ladies networking morning, and Lesley Forbes, owner of the successful Forbes Consulting and HR Recruitment Consultancy, being chosen as this month’s finalist.
Lesley gave credence to the whole concept of women’s networking organisations “We need to help each other in any way that we can in the business environment. We can’t keep apologising for being women in the workplace, we need to embrace the fact, be passionate about what we do, help mentor other women in business and say yes to any opportunities that come our way!” She said.
Lesley applauded the CV initiated by Hirsch’s that was launched recently – Hirsch’s have started an initiative for job seekers around South Africa – helping them to formulate their CV’s. “This is one of the most important tools that job seekers can have. I would like to help with this initiative in any way that I can” She said.
After Lesley’s inspiring talk, Classical Vocalist, Annalie Herbst left the audience in tears with her rendition of two Edith Piaf songs.
