Women Leading Change: A New Way to Celebrate Kartini Day
On April 21st, 2025, Wyndham Panbil Batam proudly hosted “Women Leading Change: Healthy Beginning, Hopeful Future,” a talkshow-style event that brought together over 60 enthusiastic participants to honor the spirit of Kartini Day in a fresh, meaningful way.
Spanning nearly three hours, the event featured thought-provoking discussions led by two inspiring speakers: Dr. Ni Made Indri, SpOG, and Elmi C.K. Ong. From stress management in the workplace to launching a business as a woman, the conversation offered a range of empowering insights for modern women navigating both personal and professional challenges.
Highlights from the Speakers
Dr. Indri, an expert in women’s health, shared practical knowledge on maintaining hormonal balance and preventing conditions such as PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Quoting her directly:
“One of the key triggers of PCOS is having a non-ideal body mass index.”
She also emphasized the importance of regular check-ups for women’s health and encouraged all women to embrace an active lifestyle.
“Cleaning the house doesn’t count as real exercise,” she reminded with a smile, “Aim for at least 6,000–10,000 steps of cardio daily, or a minimum of 30 minutes.”
In addition to the insightful talks, the event also featured a live musical performance by Wyndham staff members and a lively Q&A session. Participants eagerly engaged with questions ranging from health-related concerns to tips on navigating the business world as aspiring entrepreneurs.
Looking Ahead: More Collaborative Events to Come
This event marked a meaningful shift in how we celebrate Kartini Day, focusing not only on empowerment, but also on practical knowledge, health awareness, and creating a supportive space for women to grow, share, and lead.
As a company, this event marks just the beginning of many future initiatives, not only for women, but for the wider community as well. Our vision is to create spaces that prioritize collaboration and cohesion, empowering individuals to grow together and move forward collectively.
