The Path

The Path is a Director Woman editorial series exploring the routes women take as they build, pivot and grow their careers.

The series focuses on working lives as they are lived across roles, industries and stages of professional development. We’re interested in how careers take shape through experience, decision-making and environment over time.

The Path features women working across corporate environments and professional industries, documenting how they navigate work and progression in a Southern African context.

About the series

Contributions to The Path are developed into editorial features published on Director Woman.

Participants are invited to reflect on their work and career journey through a short set of guided questions. Responses are submitted in writing and can be completed at your own pace.

All submissions are edited for clarity, structure, length and grammatical coherence, while maintaining the contributor’s voice and intent. Editing is part of our editorial process and does not change the meaning of responses.

Selected submissions will be reviewed by the editorial team and contributors will be contacted directly and guided through our editorial process.
