Women Entrepreneurs, from Trainers and Trainees to Peers
|
|
|
|
On the 24th of May, 2022, women entrepreneurs participating in Personal Initiative (PI) Training celebrated successful completion of the training with three PI coaches at an offline session. Developed by German researchers, the PI training is a proven approach to generating better business results compared to other best-in-class entrepreneurship trainings. The Asia Foundation introduced the PI training for the first time in Korea in 2020.
As the three PI coaches established the Personal Initiative Women Entrepreneur Association (PIWA), CEO Park Jiwoo, a PI Coach and Director of PIWA, introduced the Association to the participants during the session. Some participating women entrepreneurs became members of the Association, and they had their first meeting in June to discuss the management of the Association.
