I have heard that you have to start somewhere, that there is no perfect time. It’s not perfect but here are my ‘gym musings’ for today.

I am not perfect, not particularly funny, very easily distracted (I just put this down to answer an email). I don’t have it all together, or have all the answers. I do know how to take chances and get out there and give things a go. I know how to lead through change, uncertainty, and adversity. I know how important it is for there to be a variety of people’s voices at the table.

My vision: A world where people who identify as women and gender diverse are fully able to lead, thrive, and be recognised for their unique critical perspective.

Disclaimer: This is not about excluding men from opportunity. This is about supporting women to reach their potential and having the same autonomy and opportunity as men. Men can be champions for this. Economies where women and gender diverse can thrive are the strongest. It makes no economic or moral sense to ignore the views of over fifty percent of the human species, all views are important. Think of what can be achieved with this level of collaboration.

The pandemic years have had a huge impact on women. It has taken many out of the workforce and derailed careers and plans. We need to start thinking differently about how we achieve what we want. This is an opportunity to rethink the workforce and how we do things.
