Community Counseling of Bristol County’s Post

Improving representation of women, particularly at senior levels, is a priority at Bird & Bird 🐤 - so, our class (Global Womens Development Program 2023 / 2024) met up to talk more about how we can make that happen in practice! One topic that came up was – if we women want to ‘have’ it all, does that mean that in reality we have to ‘do’ it all (i.e. by ourselves)? A conversation ensued concerning the importance of confidently saying no to low value opportunities in order to create space to say yes to the higher value ones. This means that discovering and enforcing your own boundaries is of the utmost importance - for better serving your individual needs but also the needs of your wider teams. Interesting stuff to be digging into!

Appreciating the amazing women in our lives shouldn't be limited to just one day. But, Women's Day offers a wonderful opportunity to amplify our appreciation and showcase their incredible impact. Instead of just saying "thank you," this year, let's deepen our understanding of the unique value they bring and take action to support them. We can do this by: - Gifting with meaning: Check out our curated catalog (link in bio) for thoughtful presents that go beyond the ordinary. - Engaging in discussions: Join our workshops and panels to explore ways to empower women in the workplace and beyond. - Taking consistent action: Throughout the year, let's celebrate and support their contributions, creating a truly inclusive and equitable environment. Together, let's move beyond one-day appreciation and build a culture where women thrive every day! #WomensDay #BeyondAppreciation #EmpowerHer #BuildingEquity

One of the main reasons that pushed me to join Media Bodies | Influencer Marketing Agency was the team. Anyone who knows me, knows I have spent my career supporting women in business, today and every day of the year. So it is an honor to mentor and support the women in this picture. 🤩 There is still work to do in all industries and verticals when it comes to the workplace, the stats are still depressing. So what can you do to support women: Listen and Learn: Pay attention to the experiences and perspectives of women colleagues. Be open to learning about the challenges they face and how you can help address them. Mentorship and Advocacy: Offer mentorship or advocate for women's career advancement within the company. Support their growth by sharing opportunities for their development and promotion. Fair Division of Labor: Ensure tasks are assigned fairly and not based on gender stereotypes. For instance, women shouldn't automatically be expected to take on office housework or organizational tasks unless it's part of their job. Challenge Bias and Inequality: If you notice biased behavior or decisions, speak up. Creating a workplace culture that actively addresses and rectifies inequality is crucial for uplifting everyone, including women. All day every day! 🎉
