Women’s Day is about celebrating the power and dignity of women, but also the fun of being a woman, and the joy of having women in your life. We asked the Atterbury Team to share their thoughts on the fairer sex, which we’ll be sharing with you for the remainder of August. Atterbury Leasing Manager Corlia Fouche was first to take up the challenge.
Your family wakes you up on Women’s Day with the best gift ever. What is it?
A letter from my daughter expressing her appreciation for her mother.
What is the best girly advice you ever got from a best friend?
It is not your job to fix anyone except yourself.
What would you say is the most important lesson you want to teach your daughter?
It doesn’t matter how smart you are or how much talent you have. What will get you ahead in life is hard work.
What advice would you give to parents of sons about teaching boys to value, respect and protect girls and women?

Teach them to live a faithful life always!
What is the best piece of advice you ever got from a woman?
