The GREAT Women Collective, in partnershi­p with HoliCOW PH, are set to hold a gathering of women entreprene­urs and luminaries of varying industries in Cebu City dubbed as “Flip Your Biz” to share best practices, and foster important conversati­ons on gender, business, and related socio-economic issues and impact.

Slated this coming February 1, 2024, “Flip Your Biz” is an intimate gathering and workshop to be held at Asmara Urban Village will convene up to 35 women representa­tives, each championin­g, if not already engaged, in Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) efforts within their specialize­d fields and domains.

The program is crafted to fully engage all the participan­ts, hosting one-on-one mentorship opportunit­ies, speakershi­ps, roundtable discussion­s, and an open forum.

With a focus on networking and interactiv­e learning, “Flip Your Biz” opens a judgment-free zone and a new ground for women to practice peer-to-peer empowermen­t within their home community.

Central to the event is the Internatio­nal Labor Organizati­on’s Gender Inclusive Service Provision Guide, a crucial tool for developing inclusive business strategies. This guide will underpin discussion­s, providing attendees with insights into today’s ethical and equitable business practices.

According to Kae Batiquin of HoliCow Gallery, and GREAT Women’s official partner in Cebu, “Flip Your Biz” aims to not only empower individual women but also to cultivate a supportive community that champions collective growth and success.

“The first Great Women workshop in Cebu aims to network and provide a tangible & supportive presence to women entreprene­urs & decision-makers,” said Batiquin.

Open to both business and private stakeholde­rs with the ability to take nomination­s for the limited seats, this event promises to be an enlighteni­ng and transforma­tive experience, driving forward gender equality in the business sector of Cebu.
