Hey AnitaB.org members! We have a free event coming up in 2 weeks - please RSVP to get the Zoom link. Our new series, Leadership: The Next Level focuses on women at the Director and VP levels. We're asking the important questions, like what skills do you need to succeed at those levels, and what are senior executives discussing in the board room.

Applications are open for The Accelerated Development Programme for Women in Maritime Leadership.

WHY PURPOSE? Having a sense of purpose is essential for several reasons: At a personal level ~ it is vital for a happy, fulfilling, and meaningful life. At a business level ~ it is is vital for a successful and responsible business. It encourages sustainable practices, ensuring a positive impact on the environment and society. At a brand level ~ a clear purpose builds brand trust, through brand commitment to something larger than just profit, leading to increased credibility, customer loyalty, long-term success and a positive impact. This event is for both male and female executive leaders, entrepreneurs and community leaders who seek to lead with purpose for sustainable and impactful growth! #LeadingWithPurpose #PurposeDriven #EnhancedLife #Sustainability #Legacy #SocialImpact

#Innovate2024 #JMTConsulting JMT Consulting - I heard this was an excellent session!

As someone who has spent over 20 years in the male-dominated financial world, including being the only female on the board of the biggest bank in Poland, I understand firsthand the complexities of the gender gap. To say the least, it is a complex topic. While areas like health outcomes and education are making good progress in various parts of the world, there are two areas that remain stubbornly stagnant: economic participation and political representation. Talent accelerators, also known as leadership development programmes, can play a significant role in equipping women with the skills needed to overcome barriers to leadership. However, as this BBC article demonstrates, their impact is limited without broader systemic changes within organisations. #GenderParity #LeadershipDevelopment #GenderEquality

Thank you #CIONETUK for hosting this great evening. It was a pleasure to co-chair the discussion on the impact of the maelstrom of disruption that we face today - political, economic, socio-cultural and technological - and the subsequent discussion on how we support and develop digital talent, in particular female talent. Many great thoughts came out of the evening but things which resonated most with me were: how impactful mentorship and support for fellow females in tech can be; how critical it is for technologists to be able to educate and to manage change, in order to really land benefit from technology; how short-termism is a perennial constraint to technology advancement and longer term growth; and how, despite having been through an unprecedented pandemic, many un-regulated industries still aren’t paying much attention to risk. Most critically however, the room was buzzing with female leaders hungry to make a difference in the world! 👏

What does #InspireInclusion on #InternationalWomensDay mean to  Will Gardiner, CEO of Drax Group and member of our Energy Leaders' Coalition? It's about "taking the time to call out the great contribution that women make in our company and wider society. By working together and supporting each other we can be successful." #diversityandinclusion #leadership #energy #allyship #IWD2024
