Geisha Speed Mentoring Session to Inspire Young Women at National Women’s Summit & Expo 2026
One of the standout features of the 8th National Women’s Summit & Expo 2026 will be the Geisha Speed Mentoring Session, a dynamic platform connecting emerging young women with accomplished female leaders across industries.
Organised by Charterhouse Productions in partnership with Geisha and in collaboration with MTN Ghana, the summit continues to champion mentorship and leadership development as key pathways for women’s advancement.
The mentoring session is scheduled for Friday, 13 March 2026, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at The Palms Convention Centre, located inside the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra. The session is being held in partnership with the Executive Women’s Network Ghana.
A Unique Feature: Intergenerational Impact
A defining element of the summit is its focus on intergenerational engagement, creating opportunities for seasoned women leaders to share insights, experiences, and networks with the next generation of entrepreneurs and professionals.
Through structured one-on-one conversations, young women will interact directly with senior executives, business leaders, and industry experts in mentoring sessions designed to spark ideas, build confidence, and open doors. This exchange embodies the summit’s philosophy: “Give to Gain.”
Where Experience Meets Potential
The Geisha Speed Mentoring Session operates on the principle that sharing knowledge, networks, and opportunities multiplies impact across generations.
Participants will gain practical guidance on:
- Career development and leadership
- Entrepreneurship and business growth
- Personal branding and professional advancement
- Navigating challenges in male-dominated industries
- Building strong professional networks
For many young women, these conversations could become pivotal moments shaping their future professional journeys.
A Call to the Next Generation
Organisers are encouraging young women across Ghana—including students, entrepreneurs, and early-career professionals—to seize this opportunity.
Speaking ahead of the event, Mrs. Theresa Oparebea Ayoade, CEO of Charterhouse Productions and Convenor of the National Women’s Summit, highlighted the transformative power of mentorship.
“The Geisha Speed Mentoring Session creates a space where experience meets potential, where established leaders can guide, inspire, and support the next generation. When we give support, women gain the confidence to step forward. When we give opportunity, they can transform their families and communities. Progress comes from sharing knowledge, investing in potential, and creating pathways that allow every woman to rise.” – Chris Wulf Ceasar, MD, Unilever Ghana
