Post-Event Perspective: Leadership, Empathy & the Power of Women, Cyril Awere’s Inspiring Message

At a special event co-organized by Trusted Advisors and AnaWnti, Cyril Awere, our Executive Director in charge of International Operations, based in London, delivered one of the most powerful and heartfelt messages of the evening — a message that resonated deeply with every woman and man in the room.

From the moment he took the stage, Cyril spoke with sincerity, humility, and profound admiration for the Moroccan women present. He described:

• the emotion of standing before a room filled with women whose strength and resolve embody the future of leadership;

• the wisdom, elegance, and quiet power he felt radiating from the audience;

• his belief that the world would be a better, more balanced place with more women in leadership roles;

• and the evidence — across continents — that women transform organizations by leading with empathy, emotional intelligence, and a genuine focus on people.

Drawing on global examples, Cyril highlighted the inspiring leadership journey of Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, whose transformative vision dramatically reshaped her company’s performance. Her story, he noted, is a living demonstration of the profound impact that female leadership can have on entire industries.

Cyril also took this moment to reaffirm Trusted Advisors’ long-standing mission:

• to support and empower women leaders at every stage of their professional journey,

• to help create strong and visible local female role models,

• and to build environments where women can be heard, seen, and recognized for their leadership.

He paid tribute to the exceptional work of Yasmine El Karouani and the AnaWnti platform, which amplifies women’s stories and voices across Morocco. He also shared his own commitment to youth and empowerment through his podcast Belief Africa, which helps young Africans believe in their potential and shape their own transformational paths.

What emerged from his intervention was more than a message — it was a call to action.

A reminder that positive transformation is only possible when men and women move forward together. A celebration of the extraordinary power women bring to teams, organizations, and nations.And a reaffirmation that today, more than ever, women are at the heart of the social, economic, and cultural transformation taking place across Africa and the world. At Trusted Advisors, we are honored to carry this mission forward — and proud to have leaders like Cyril embodying it on the international stage.
