A scene at the event
Chalom Hights marked its first anniversary with the successful hosting of PowerSide, a purpose-driven mentorship and leadership event held at the Airport View Event Center in Accra.
Designed as both a celebration and a strategic intervention, the event brought together ambition, experience, and intentional mentorship—reaffirming Chalom Hights’ commitment to empowering young women to rise confidently in their personal and professional journeys.
The structure of PowerSide was intentionally designed to create depth, connection, and real-world impact.
At the core of the event was a select group of 10 young female corporate professionals, representing the first cohort of mentees under the Chalom Hights empowerment journey.
These women were purposefully brought into close interaction with seasoned and accomplished female professionals across diverse industries.
One of the most impactful features of the PowerSide Event was the speed mentorship session, designed to facilitate focused, one-on-one engagements between mentors and mentees within a structured timeframe.
Unlike traditional networking formats, speed mentorship created intentional spaces for meaningful dialogue.
Each mentee engaged with multiple mentors in short but highly focused sessions, addressing topics such as career progression, leadership development, workplace challenges, personal branding, and navigating corporate environments as women.
For the mentees, the sessions provided direct access to lived experience and practical wisdom, tailored guidance aligned to their career stage and aspirations and honest conversations about growth, resilience, and self-leadership
For the mentors, it was an opportunity to invest meaningfully in the next generation—offering perspective, encouragement, and strategic insight. The energy in the room reflected the power of intentional connection, as conversations moved beyond theory to actionable guidance and clarity.
The event also featured a panel discussion with three seasoned female professionals, each sharing insights shaped by years of leadership and experience. The conversation was candid and reflective, addressing real challenges and triumphs encountered along the journey.
Topics explored included navigating career transitions and leadership complexity, building credibility and confidence in male-dominated spaces, the role of mentorship, community, and self-belief and staying anchored in purpose while pursuing excellence.
The panel discussion reinforced a powerful message that growth is not linear, but with clarity, discipline, and support, women can navigate complexity and lead with confidence.
Reflecting on the journey and the significance of the PowerSide Event, the Founder of Chalom Hights, Rita Adu Boateng, shared, “PowerSide represents everything Chalom Hights stands for—creating access, building confidence, and reminding women that they already carry the power they seek. When women are clear on their purpose and intentional about their presence, they do not just occupy spaces; they transform them.”
As Chalom Hights steps into its next chapter, PowerSide remains a powerful reminder of what is possible when vision is matched with action.
