“Traditional leadership programs often focus on “fixing women” From fixing communication styles to adapting leadership styles. But let’s be clear. Women don’t need fixing. Instead, they need the tools to navigate the unconscious gender biases that they face at the workplace. Through our work with organisations such as JLL, Standard Chartered Bank and many more, our work at INCLUDE has seen us implement an evidence-based program that has increased gender representation at the leadership level. Not through fixing women. But rather, supporting them and the wider system. If you’re ready to accelerate your career and learn practical skills to navigate the biases you face, join us for a FREE webinar to learn more about our Women in Leadership Program.

When people throw stereotypes in your face, focus on the things that matter. Our panel discussion yesterday led by Ana Julien and Shaifa Kanji as part of Pinkcareers Women’s Leadership Program was a no-nonsense discussion on real challenges black and brown women face in the workplace with stereotyping and micro-aggressions, and what we can do to refocus on what matters - the investments, the resources, and the sponsorships we need to accelerate to executive roles. Pinkcareers women’s leadership program is our signature coaching for aspiring women leaders who want to accelerate their careers to executive roles in the Government.

Empowered and Inspired at the Bright Network Women in Leadership Event 💼💡 I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Women in Leadership event hosted by Bright Network where I met some amazing people and got the chance to network with employers such as PwC, Haleon, Deloitte, KPMG, S&P Global, Amberjack Global, Berenberg and more! 👩💻 🤝 From engaging keynote speakers to insightful panel discussions, the event brought together various inspiring women leaders who shared their career journeys, challenges and strategies for overcoming obstacles in the workplace. Their stories of resilience, growth, and leadership were not only empowering but also a powerful reminder of the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. 🌟 A few key takeaways that resonated with me: 1. The Power of Authenticity: Embrace yourself fully and stay true to who you are throughout your professional journey, building meaningful relationships. 2. Lifelong Learning: The path to leadership is ever-evolving, and staying curious and committed to growth is key. 3. Mentorship and Support Networks: Building strong support systems, both personally and professionally, can be the catalyst for success. 4. The Importance of a Personal Brand: Ensuring that you portray yourself in the way you want others to view you. 5. Fake It Till You Make It: Take the risk and step out of your comfort zone. Sometimes, you have to fake confidence until it becomes real because practice makes perfect. 6. Go Above and Beyond: Keep a curious spirit and do the best you can, exceeding expectations. I left the event feeling more inspired than ever to strive for gender diversity in leadership and create spaces where women can thrive and excel. 👩💼✨ A huge thank you to Bright Network, Temi Nelson, Neave Taylor, Laura Janssens and all the other incredible speakers and participants for such an invaluable experience!

A colleague told me she requested professional development funds to participate in our upcoming Transforming Women’s Leadership Program. Her employer determined this program was a "personal growth" experience, not a “professional development” one, and therefore not something for which they would provide financial support. Her employer’s response reflects and reinforces our society’s view on mothers and female leadership: essential work dismissed as personal work that our society doesn't value enough to pay for.🎤 It's like the way the Oscar nominations for “Barbie” imitate the plot of the movie itself. If we want female leadership in the workplace to flourish, if we want to back female leaders to develop and advance, supporting our inner (and, frankly, outer) work in relationship with our mothers is professional development. Healing the effects of sexism on generations of females, including our current generation, is leadership work. Healing our relationships with our first leaders, our mothers, supports our whole self, including but not limited to the personal. Where do you see the connection between professional development and your personal growth? Tell me in the comments below! 👇🏾

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Australian Women’s Leadership Symposium in Sydney. What an impressive line-up of speakers and role models who generously shared their journeys to leadership and how they have been navigating challenges along the way. Here are my key takeaways:   1️⃣ Events like these are crucial; they provide inspiration, networking opportunities, and the assurance that someone, somewhere has dealt with what you are dealing with right now and has valuable insights you can learn from. 2️⃣ We need others to show us what is possible and inspire us to dream bigger. 3️⃣ Most women have supporters, but what most are missing is people in their close circle who can challenge them to aspire for more. 4️⃣ It is important to embrace diversity beyond gender. To truly innovate and lead, we must include diverse perspectives across all dimensions. 5️⃣ Get a mentor and an executive sponsor. Find both, Find them early!
