Spent the morning prepping my speakers doc for our Women in Revenue June 5th event: Negotiate to Elevate: How to Secure the Job Package YOU Want Some of you know that I'm a working board member for 501c3 nonprofit Women in Revenue focused on Marketing and Events with my awesome co-lead Channa Bannis. There are only a few organizations where I'd donate 5-7 hours every week for free. And Women in Revenue is that org. We relaunched the Marketing and Events pillar this year because there was a surge of voices from our 8000+ community asking for more IRL events. Our first roadshow in SF coincides with the recent release of our 2024 Annual report where 3 key themes emerged for what women in revenue want: 1) Compensation transparency 2) More Women in Leadership roles 3) WFH and Flexible work options We are going to convene to hear from women who have not only cracked the glass ceiling, they're building their own way. Cannot wait for 💡 Hang Black, Lena Savitsky Jennifer Pockell Dimas and Simina Simion to gather and share how they've moved up the ladder to VP, C-Suite, and Advisor at some of the largest companies out there.

Food for thought at this year's #ENGAGE2024 conference hosted by National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE). I'm pondering on these questions: - How much do organisations (especially large ones like NHS or universities) get in their own way when it comes to effective and authentic community engagement, through things like management structures, language and KPIs? - How can academics be encouraged to pursue public engagement, when it's isn't listed on the criteria for promotion? - If we want to be effective and authentic when engaging with lesser-heard or under-served communities, then the *work before the project* is as important as the project itself; but do we budget for that time or just somehow assume it's going to happen by osmosis? 🤔 Expect more questions along these lines as the conference progresses... #communityengagement #publicengagement #buzzwords #research #listening #authentic #theworkbeforethework

Was very happy to join United Nations Commemoration for International Women's Day today and excited to share the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador's message to us. (thank you Anne Hathaway) "If we share this world in equal numbers, why aren't we valued equally?" My own thoughts, Investing in women doesn't just mean providing resources. It means being an ally 🤘 #heforshe, even when she is not in the room. It means rallying to provide opportunities like flexibility, equal pay 🙌 , opportunities to speak up, opportunity to grow and overcome their societal conditioning by coaching, education, upskilling opportunities and helping them grow in the way that works for them. As the president of the General Assembly indicated today, "Investing in women is investing in the future" 🙋♀️ In my sector this translates to technology, #responsibleAI systems, educating people about the inherent bias in generative AI models, demanding accountability from AI companies, support women in AI and speaking up from a place of expertise to help build fair and equitable systems (with a low carbon footprint 🌍).
