‘Flip Your Biz’ aims to empower women entrepreneurs

CEBU, Philippines — 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.
