About the theme
Finding your sparkle: Life.Work.Business
Losing our sparkle means feeling disconnected from ourselves, unfulfilled by
events that are supposed to bring us triumph, and lacking the enthusiasm and
motivation to do something about our journey into leadership or whatever it is
that’s bugging us at the moment.

As women, we have been conditioned to seek approval outside of ourselves. We

have also been conditioned to do more in order to be seen, accepted and treated
as equal.
So instead of loving life, expressing ourselves authentically and living to the fullest,
we have resulted to modulating ourselves.

Finding your sparkle is all about being seen and accepted for who we are, Not for
who we think we should be. No matter how overwhelmed we feel as women, and
no matter how much we doubt our ability to ever sparkle again, we can still find
our sparkle.
 About The Women on Boards
Network
Who are
we?
The Women on Boards Network (WOBN) is
an initiative aimed at promoting and
encouraging women into Board leadership.
Founded and registered as a not for profit
entity in Kenya in 2014, WOBN provides a
platform that will bring together women
from diverse fields and ranks.
What do
we do?
The initiative is committed to ensuring
that the next generation of board
members is more diverse and better
balanced. We do so by creating a
pipeline of board-ready women and
facilitate those already serving on
Boards to effectively carry out their
roles and responsibilities.

 WHAT WE DO
TRAINING
WOBN offers a variety of trainings that covers diverse topics related to Board
leadership with the goal of ensuring that participants understand dynamics that affect
organizations and their impact on the society. This enables our members to have a
positive impact on the Boards they get to serve. Over 600 women trained so far.

BOARD ADMISSION
Organizations have now embraced gender diversity. WOBN is therefore the first stop
shop for the majority of organizations looking at admit women on their Boards. This
therefore offers our members an opportunity to serve on the boards of a wide array of
institutions in and outside Kenya. The network has successfully placed over 120 women
on boards since inception.

MENTORSHIP
The Network works closely with experts to provide mentorship opportunities for its
members including young boys and girls from the age of 12, through various
mentorship forums.
