🕘 Time: 9am – 3pm
👶 Childcare available (under 6 years)

🔹 What’s coming:

Session 1 – Personal Empowerment & Identity - COMPLETED ✔️
🗓 Saturday 18th April 2026

💡 Why this matters

In our industry, technical skills alone are not enough.

Many of us:
• Struggle to be heard or taken seriously
• Undervalue our work and price ourselves too low
• Avoid difficult conversations that impact our growth
• Have the skills… but not the business knowledge to scale

This training is about changing that.

It’s about:
✔ Building confidence and identity
✔ Strengthening your professional presence
✔ Learning how to lead, negotiate, and grow
✔ Creating real opportunities for yourself and others

An important conversation that affects each and every woman and family out there.

Housing is a basic human right right. We all deserve to live in decent, safe and loving homes.

Habitat for Humanity Fiji is leading the way in this space. Check out their website www.habitatfiji.org.fj to see how you can volunteer or donate towards making an impact in this housing space.

🌿✨ This morning on the Fiji One Breakfast Show, we had the opportunity to share speak about our five-year Negotiated Partnerships project with Habitat for Humanity New Zealand, and talk about the upcoming Pacific Housing Forum happening this Thursday at Holiday Inn, Suva.

We were also joined by representatives from ADRA Samoa and Live & Learn Tonga, who shared insights from the programmes they are implementing in their respective countries—strengthening the regional dialogue on housing and community development.

This project has seen many successes over the years, and we are looking forward to bringing together all our key learnings at the Pacific Housing Forum. The Forum will continue important discussions on inclusive, climate-resilient housing and how we can work together to strengthen housing solutions across the Pacific through collaboration and partnership. 🏠🤝

✨ WICAT x Insight – Stepping Into Our Power ✨

Today was about more than a workshop— it was about women owning who they are and where they’re going.

Through powerful facilitation by Fong of Insight Business Advisory, we challenged our limits, found our voice, and backed ourselves with confidence.

This is what happens when women choose growth, choose courage, and choose to rise by investing in personal and professional development.

A timely reminder that…We are capable. We are worthy. We are powerful.
