What an amazing Leadership Summit to help organize and bridge connection between students and professionals. Let's keep the discussion going, ask yourself: am I truly embracing my unique strengths and leveraging them to create a meaningful impact in my life? #leadershipsummit #empowerment #education

Throwback to earlier this week. If you look closely at the pic below I'm the balding, slightly out of shape middle-aged white bloke sat front left. What was absolutely brilliant about this event was that, unlike most events I attend, that made me in the minority. Ridiculous but true. I - most of us? - operate in a male-dominated sector where (and with apologies to the writers of the 'Cheers' theme tune) nearly everybody looks the same. It's fair to say there's been some positive change in terms of sentiment in recent years, but the data still shows there's a massive gender imbalance and the pace of change is glacial. Change and culture comes from the top. At Palatine we aim to enhance the boards of companies we invest in through equipping them with high quality people and a broad range of skills. Proactively building a diverse board is an obvious way to ensure there are different experiences, skillsets, mindsets, opinions, perspectives and outlooks - and that flexibility of thought can only be of benefit to the wider business and the ongoing development of the people within it. This event brought together a fantastic group of business leaders; they all just happened to be female. Fundamentally, they are people that others can look up to, be inspired by and also aspire to be. They are successful business people and active role models - and as the father of two daughters I struggle to see how that can't be a good thing. It shows the art of the possible. For me, this event just reaffirmed my personal view that the current gender imbalance across numerous sectors, but particularly in financial services, is an absolute nonsense. However, with a proactive mindset, flexible thinking and acknowledgement that we're all in a position to do something about it, positive change can be made - which would be of benefit to all gender types. Thanks to psd group for co-hosting and to all of those who attended and contributed to the discussion. Looking forward to working with some of you soon!
Yesterday, we teamed up with psd group to host a Northwest women in leadership event at 20 Stories with the intention of fostering meaningful relationships with industry experts and sharing success from their careers in a bid to diversify our entrepreneurs network. “Intentionality is required to create a diverse and inclusive workforce and it requires individual and collective commitment and action. This event was an opportunity for our guests to network and share success stories in how we can ‘lift as you climb’ as women in leadership roles.” Steph Wall, Palatine We enjoyed welcoming you all, many thanks to everyone that joined us!

"Women still need so much more representation, access, and inclusion with more professional development and networking opportunities for there to be more equal footing in the business of sports, too. This momentum and this moment for women should spill over into every facet of sports." Hear from Deputy Director Kaila'Shea Menendez on why you should attend the April 11th Emerging Women in Sports Leadership Summit! https://lnkd.in/emTt3CxE

Did you know that Board Leadership Training (BLT) can be a great tool to develop well-rounded leadership skills for both current and aspiring board members? According to ArtsFund's 2023 Annual Report, 21.8% of BLT participants reported no previous board experience and 71.8% reported some board leadership experience. In 2023, BLT faculty facilitated curriculum like Racial Equity in Board Practices, Strategic Planning, and Legal Practices in Nonprofit Governance.

White Women: If you support Black women in leadership, allies are also welcome to register. If we (white women) want to be part of meaningful change, white women must choose womanhood over whiteness. This requires us (white women) to unlearn what we have been taught about about racial injustice, discrimination, and white supremacy in this country. We must be willing to relearn what it will take to dismantle white supremacy. White women have been part of white supremacy in America since the very beginning, experts point out, dating back to their role in slavery. “They were at the table when the system was designed,” Stephanie Jones-Rogers, a history professor at UC Berkeley and author of the book They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South, told Vox. “They were co-architects of the system.” It’s hard for a lot of white women to read that last paragraph and embrace this reality. White women historically have leveraged their white power and privilege to gain advantage over women of color; leveraging their whiteness was an intentional strategy when one is operating within a predominantly white male patriarchy. Whiteness over womanhood is easy math. Having privilege doesn’t make white women bad people, and acknowledging privilege shouldn’t be a burden. Acknowledging privilege is an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better, so we can create a just, equitable, and inclusive world. Benefiting from privilege doesn’t make you a bad person, but it does require you to use your privilege to interrupt, challenge, and ultimately end white supremacy. We can’t dismantle what we cannot see. We have to be intentional by practicing seeing how racism is baked into systems and how those systems shape and influence the lives of people and communities. We need to put Black women’s voices at the center of our ongoing journey to reeducation in this country. Need some inspiration? Start by exploring these voices: Anna Julia Cooper, Ntozake Shante, Maria W. Stewart, Joan Morgan, Angela Y. Davis, Tressie McMillan Cotton, Mia Birdsong, Claudia Jones, Mikki Kendall, Paula Giddings, Marita Bonner, Nora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, and Rev. Pauli Murray. This is not an exhaustive list, but a great start. This list was provided by W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz, authors of DO THE WORK, An Antiracist Activity Book. https://a.co/d/aq6A6BZ Here is Amazon link for the book, $13.99, small investment with a big payoff.
We hope you register for our free online event. Reserve your free ticket before it’s sold out. Are you a Black Woman in Leadership? Leading your life… Leading in your home… Leading in the workplace… Or Aspiring to Lead… This event is for you! If you support Black women in leadership, allies are also welcome to register.
