Vivo Energy Ghana, the Shell licensee, has proudly hosted its inaugural ShePower training session at its head office in Accra.
The event, targeted at female employees of the company, was held under the theme: ‘The Power of Positive Self Talk: Cultivating Confidence and Resilience’.
The ShePower training programme encapsulates Vivo Energy Ghana’s commitment to empowering female employees at Vivo Energy Ghana, providing them with the tools and confidence needed to excel in their careers and personal lives.
This programme will help Vivo Energy Ghana foster a supportive and inclusive workplace where every individual can thrive.
Stirring up conversations under the theme for the training, Mrs Rita Krampah, a seasoned corporate trainer, in her address, emphasised the importance of developing self-confidence through positive self-talk.
She shared various affirmative phrases and initiatives that could inspire individuals, ultimately fostering steady growth in their confidence and abilities.
Drawing from her personal experiences with positive self-talk, Mrs Krampah stated: “My crucible transformed me. It will transform you if you leverage the opportunities it presents to build confidence in yourself. Don’t personalise negative perceptions.”
She went on to outline nine ways to identify and mitigate negative thought patterns that trouble female employees, especially at workplaces and homes where they spend most of their time.
The Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana, Mr Jean-Michel Arlandis, in his remark, inspired female participants to confidently embrace their potential, overcome challenges and reassure them of the company’s support.
“This initiative is more than just a training programme. As a company committed to the promotion of female diversity and inclusion, will continue to provide support and create an enabling environment for women to take charge of their growth and drive positive change within our organisation and beyond,” he said.
To foster individual involvement, the session included a group discussion in which employees were actively engaged in exploring and practising positive self-talk techniques.
This interactive segment allowed participants to share their experiences, learn from one another and strengthen the day’s lessons.
