This month serves as a powerful reminder that the strength of our collective progress is deeply rooted in the contributions of women who dared to dream, lead, and break barriers. BUT it's not just about reflecting and celebrating milestones, it's about recognizing the ongoing journey! To my fellow leaders, let's use this month as a reminder to uplift and empower the women within our organizations. Here are some ways you can do that: 1. Amplify their voices 2. Invest in their development 3. Celebrate their achievements How do you or your organization highlight Women's History Month? #WomensHistoryMonth #Leadership #DiversityandInclusion #HumanCentered

Empowering voices, shaping futures. 🌟 As we celebrate Women's History Month, we're honored to amplify the voices of our incredible female leaders. Today, one of our own Mindi Meyer shares her wisdom: 'To the young women paving their paths to leadership: Own your journey, embrace challenges as opportunities, and never underestimate the power of your voice. Together, let's break barriers and inspire the next generation of trailblazers.

We are so proud to have some incredible members doing incredible things. One member we want to highlight, who was also one of our panelists at last night's event, is Alicia Quesnel. Alicia has been awarded "The Calgary Influential Women in Business" Award for her incredible dedication, leadership, and influence in the business industry. Here's to celebrating her well-deserved recognition and continued success! 🌟 #InfluentialWomen #BusinessLeadership #CalgaryAwardWinner"

Contemplating on a recent discussion about women in leadership and diversity initiatives. It's a topic close to my heart as I've observed the importance of recognizing achievements without undermining the hard work put in. While acknowledging the historical imbalances that diversity initiatives aim to address, it's crucial not to diminish the accomplishments of women leaders. Each leader, irrespective of gender, brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. In my view, true diversity is about creating an environment where everyone, based on merit, skills, and contributions, has a fair shot at success. Discrediting a woman's journey by attributing her success solely to gender-related initiatives is counterproductive. Let's celebrate and recognize the achievements of women leaders for the remarkable individuals they are. They've earned their place at the top, contributing significantly to their organizations. #DiversityandInclusion #WomenLeadership #InclusiveSuccess

The journey for women in business looks different than it does for men. Simply put. But it's so much more complicated than that. As an executive recruiter, an important personal mission for me is to support women through navigating and negotiating a successful career path. I'm inspired by your story Martha Harvey-Jones, thanks for sharing. #inspireinclusion #womenempoweringwomen #womeninfinance #executivesearch
