Head of ANGIN Impact, Saskia Tjokro shared about the importance of scaling and growing business and ‘smart money’ essence.
PRO-WOMEN not only highlighted achievement in entrepreneurship, in this program they also introduced ‘growth mindset’, a belief that a person’s capability is dynamic and can always be improved. The growth is evident in the increase of the women’s confidence to run their businesses, and also to build networks to develop potential collaborations.
