SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers & Changing Boundaries: Redefining a Woman’s Role in the Arab World
DESCRIPTION:“As women\, we have too many responsibilities: We are daughters\, We are mothers\, We are wives\, We are engineers\, We are lawyers\, We are doctors\, We are entrepreneurs\, We are caregivers to family members old and young which contributes to us having the lowest rate of labor force participation in the Arab peninsula. And yet\, We are and can be so much more”. \nThe status of a woman has long been discussed with reforms touching every aspect to get the woman where she needs to be. One of the most interesting areas reigned by contradiction is the Arab World\, where women’s literacy and education achievement are high yet the expectation of its usage for a sustainable financial income remains low and inconsiderate. \nA personal experience will touch down on different aspects of the Arab Female Entrepreneurship and pinpoint Lebanon with its envisioned meltdown and how women are at the forefront of the path to a prosperous Lebanon \n  \nLed by: Ms. Terry Bitar

SUMMARY:Creativity and Innovation Certificate
DESCRIPTION:Dates: Live Module Dates are October 13-15\, 12 – 1:30 PM EST \n  \nAbout \nAre you an educator\, individual\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurial group\, or start-up? Are you interested in learning\, teaching\, creating\, funding\, and implementing solutions to address social\, environmental\, and cultural issues in your community? \n  \nIf you answered yes to any of the questions above\, then you must register for the ICSB Global Creativity and Innovation Certificate. Support your current or future career by adding the ICSB Global CI certificate to your repertoire of entrepreneurship training. \n  \nYears ago\, creativity and innovation were mainly associated with art\, entertainment or recreation\, and only in very particular cases\, it was related to the world of organizations. However\, this has changed. Currently\, innovation and in particular\, creativity\, is considered fundamental in different areas. This can be seen in a report about the future of work published by the World Economic Forum in 2016\, where creativity is among the three most important skills required for 2022. \n  \nThis presents a serious demand that organizations have to be innovative for their own competitiveness in a global context. Furthermore\, they have to create new products and services to stay relevant. Innovation is decisive with respect to the levels of competitiveness in companies\, sectors and also in the economy of the countries. In today’s business\, executives and organizations must carry forward professional innovation management in their particular context. In other words\, each organization or entrepreneur must model their businesses in a unique combination that allows them to detect opportunities for innovation and successful execution capabilities. \n  \nRegistration Form
