Thank you to Acquisition International for recognising the important work and dedication of The Success Smith by awarding Dr Victoria Stakelum ‘International Coaching & Therapy CEO of the Year 2024′ in their ninth annual Influential Businesswoman Awards 2024.
Dr Victoria said
“It’s an absolute honour to receive this prestigious award and have our work recognised in this way”.
Acquisition International comments, “Acquisition International presents the return of the Influential Businesswoman Awards in 2024! An irreplaceable essential in our awards repertoire, these accolades serve to honour the astounding achievements of female business leaders from all industries.
Women-led businesses are a driving force of the global economy, radically increasing family income, supporting local communities and providing recovery in times of economic decline. According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), 63% of female business owners in the USA provide 50-100% of the household income, accounting for $432.1 billion in annual payroll.
Furthermore, as stated by Kemi Badenoch, the Business and Trade Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities; with equal access to adequate funding, female entrepreneurs in the UK have the potential to contribute £250 billion to the nation’s economy. In the past ten years alone, the number of self-employed women has risen by 283,000 and there are around 1.5 million more female employees.
Acquisition International believes that celebrating the value of women in business is of utmost importance and any opportunity to do so should be acted upon. The Influential Businesswoman Awards 2024 will involve businesswomen of all sectors and working roles, applauding excellence inclusively.
