Key takeaways from our recent #FTWomeninBusinessForum event 💡

This was my first time attending the The Culture Factor Group annual conference, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity! To connect with culture-drivers from around the world was a unique gift. On our panel we chatted about how to drive organizational culture across global teams; the importance of DEI and intentionality on building diverse skill sets among teams; and what the advent of AI could mean for organizational culture & structure. A big thank you to Marc Jacobs for hosting the discussion, and to Jina Couture and Benoît Malric for sharing their expertise. There was lots of insightful content throughout the day; here were a few of my other key takeaways: 💡 Short-term decisions are made based on rationality; long-term decisions are made based on emotion. To relate this to branded merch specifically: building #brandlove will help you emotionally encode your brand with your target audience. 💡 Insights on the dimensions of national culture will enable you to optimize messaging and adoption of behaviours across global audiences; knowing how to marry these with your organizational culture is where the magic happens. 💡 We know rapid organizational change is now the norm; bringing your teams along on the transformation journey, and hiring for resiliency, adaptability and optimism is key. So to anyone looking to future-proof their careers: how are you building your skills? And are you actively contributing to your org culture to help drive success? Or are you simply passive? Thank you, Alex Gallacher, for the invite, and kudos to you, Egbert Schram and #TheCultureFactor team!

Thank you Forté Foundation for continuing to invest in and support women! Yesterday I had the honor of presenting on The Mindful Professional: Mental Health & Wellbeing in the Corporate World, a topic very near and dear to my heart (and mind). We discussed the importance of mindfulness in the workplace - and how it can help to foster authenticity, presence, self-trust, and inclusivity. If you're reading this, I welcome you to (1) take two deep breaths and (2) share any of your mindful practices - we can all learn from eachother :) #mindfulness #mentalhealth

As the founder of SHEXON, He's seen firsthand the untapped potential of bicultural talent and the opportunities it brings to industries hungry for innovation and global competitiveness. Yet, many international graduates face significant barriers—limited networks, cultural differences, and challenges navigating the Dutch job market—leading to a talent drain that hurts everyone.  In this session, we’ll tackle:   💡 The barriers preventing bicultural talents from thriving in the Netherlands.   💡 The critical role of inclusive hiring practices in bridging these gaps.   💡 How fostering diversity and inclusion (D&I) can turn missed opportunities into game-changing solutions for Dutch industries.  SHEXON is incredibly proud to contribute to this important conversation and share actionable strategies to create pathways for meaningful employment. Together, let’s pave the way for a future where talent doesn’t just leave but thrives right here!  #DiversityAndInclusion #BiculturalTalent #SHEXON #Bicultural #Career #jobmarket
