Why does reflective representation matter on local boards and commissions? It ensures that those making decisions on behalf of a community are representative of the population being served.

Since our founding in 2009, ProInspire has partnered with social change leaders and organizations to help create a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that when BIPOC leaders, who are closely connected to their communities, thrive in their workplaces, they foster thriving in their organizations and communities. Our new research, Thriving Leaders and Communities, focuses on accelerating racial equity by understanding the conditions needed for BIPOC leaders, organizations and communities to thrive. We are passionate about building a future where race and other aspects of identity do not determine the success of leaders or organizations. Thriving social justice organizations are key to creating racially equitable communities where everyone flourishes! Join us at our upcoming webinar to talk more about how we can all create conditions for thriving!

WHY IT MATTERS:

I loved hosting Queensway's International Women's Day panel discussion yesterday with panellists Vanessa Hall, Nick Pilbeam and Lucy Soper MCIPD as we talked about empathetic leadership and inspiring inclusion. It's invigorating to be part of a company's conversation about how to make the workplace a more supportive place to be. Imagine if every organisation took the time to inspire people to be more empathetic in their every day? Apart from the obvious and most important factor that staff feel seen and heard and are therefore, happier, it's also proven that it improves retention and results. Key takeaways: Be yourself Ask for feedback - and be prepared to hear it Remember that empathy and compassion is your superpower I really enjoy doing panel moderation so if you're looking for someone to ask the questions at your next event, do get in touch! #empathy #leadership #paneldiscussion #corporatewellness

It was an enormous privilege last night to attend the inaugural meeting of United Blind Leaders. The status quo needs to change. It is not okay that blind leaders are so rarely represented in those organisations who advocate for and provide services to blind people. ✅ Blindness needs to become recognised as a core leadership skill among other leadership skills. The benefits of lived experience in leadership are so profound. ✅ Those barriers that are preventing blind leaders from applying for and being successful in leadership roles need to be removed. ✅ And most importantly, we need to so thoroughly abolish perceptions that we are not good or skilled enough to be leaders, that it would be tokenistic to have blind leaders at the top, or that we would somehow pose a risk to the long-term sustainability of these organisations. The time is now to truly demonstrate what blindness services can do to advance our empowerment, inclusion, independence and value in society. #BlindLeadership #Leadership #Blind #LowVision #VisionImpairment #Inclusion #Change #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DisabilityLeadership #LeadershipForChange Emma Bennison MBA GAICD Graeme Innes AM John Simpson AM Vaughn Bennison Jonathan Mosen
