National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) launches a series of mentoring sessions within the Girls For Girls (G4G) training program, which is held in partnership with the Women’s Cultural and Social Society in Kuwait.

G4G is a global initiative spanning 28 countries. It is originally a Harvard Kennedy School born program when in 2017, a group of their postgraduate women leaders from across the globe recognized that women are being held back from leadership positions around the world. Inspired by each other, they decided to close the gap by creating a group of girls who are capable to occupy leadership positions in the key areas of various fields including government, business and civil society.

The discussion sessions were held at NBK’s headquarters and focused on many important topics including “Courageous Leadership” presented by Professor Nancy Koehn of the Harvard Business School, “Communication” and “Negotiation” among other topics.
