 The world over is abuzz with all the technological advances. And one of these fastest phenomenons is blogging. Amateurs, professional writers and laymen are catching up to this fever throughout the world. Botswana through its enterprising youth is also catching up with the rest of the countries.
When it comes to Botswana, the number of those who have taken to penning their thoughts on the internet is still low compared to the rest of the world. And the youth are particularly leading in championing this cause. One of these remarkable youths who have taken to the internet and is busy blogging her thoughts and what she is seeing around her, is a young woman by the name Lenah Kedikaetswe. Lenah puts the expression dynamites comes in small packages to good use and she is busy setting trends with an online magazine known as Prestine online Magazine.

 I was going through mail in my inbox when I came across an e-mail from a colleague in the media here in Windhoek that has changed my life.
Felix had quipped in his forwarded mail to me about women in the profession but as I smiled I immediately started filling in the application form and wrote the motivational letter. That was the day that I applied for the WIN programme and heavens know how happy I was to be selected as one of the 2012 participants.
In this article I would like my WIN colleagues to share with me the benefits I have derived from it and how the programme has started to quench my thirst for leadership, enhanced immensely my networking skills and instilled tonnes of confidence that can make me stand and weather professional storms.
At the last gathering in Windhoek, I presented a challenge that I was facing at work during the group mentoring session.

 WIN Namibia's second National Gathering took place on the 11th of May in Windhoek. The session featured National Coach Deidré Carballo who delivered a rich and stimulating presentation on Change Management and an equally empowering presentation by Tracy Eagles on Personal Development, Conflict Resolution and Authenticity whose premise was, “There is Value in Applying Multiple Perspectives to Leadership," that gave participants valuable management information.
Skills Development is one of the WIN core program components that focus on Leadership training. In her presentation, Deidré defined Change Management, gave a model and went on to enlighten participants on how to transform Change into a positive undertaking as the process, if not implemented tactfully, can face resistance from the employees and defeat the noble cause. Participants learned that Change Management that is implemented inside out is more successful, more readily acceptable and gets less resistance from employees as it involves the workers. The top down Change Management implementation process usually faces resistance.

 In the past couple of months, a number of you Women In News participants (WINners) have been in one way or the other busy trying to make professional contacts on LinkedIn.
Firstly, it is important to note that there are a number of social networking sites such as Face Book and Twitter among others, offering a wide range of platforms for people to stay in touch. LinkedIn is a free business social networking site that allows users who register to create professional profiles that are visible to others.
Through the sites, individuals can then maintain a list of known contacts and connections and it is indeed important for us as the WINNERS in the marketing, financial and editorial departments to be part of this dynamic platform because it offers business opportunities, career advancements and news ideas as well as keeping in touch with other media networks.

 My first Freshman experience at the 2012 WIN launch in Windhoek was so refreshing and exciting. It was an awesome experience meeting all the new faces who I immediately blended with and felt comfortable to be around.
As I got into the conference room at the Protea Furstenhof, where the 2-day event took place on March 25th and 26th, I had a chill inside of me and as I sat wondering if this was going to be one of the same old monotonous, long and boring workshops which I am used to.
