Shareen Shariza Abdul Ghani believes that women can have it all. The chief executive officer of Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) feels that women can achieve anything despite various gender-based restrictions they encounter in society, the workplace or at home.
“Often we allow our cultural limitations, conditioning, our lack of confidence or insecurities to get the better of us. But to get ahead, we must confront and deal with these as well as our self-doubt. Women have the will and strength to overcome anything. We need to know what we want and be focused on how to achieve it. It is not going to be easy, but we can do it,” assures Shareen, who joined TalentCorp in the middle of last year. Prior to that, she was director of Corporate Responsibility at Khazanah Nasional Berhad.
