Earlier this week, our EMEA employee led Advancing Professionals Business Resource Council hosted an insightful conversation with Teresa Parker, Northern Trust President – EMEA. Covering her inspiring and impressive 42-year career at Northern Trust, Teresa inspired over 400 of our next generation leaders by sharing key insights on navigating a corporate environment, her early career days all the way through to becoming an executive; identifying opportunities for career progression; career challenges and lessons learnt; and the ever-evolving landscape of Northern Trust as an organization, and the broader financial services industry. “From a career perspective, it’s important to understand what motivates you and to spend time thinking about what additional skills you need to get and how to go about getting those. Whether it’s taking a different job, seeking feedback from other people, or asking for coaching in a specific area. Those two components have been really important in my career: doing what I like, and continually seeking ways to develop my skills and leadership style.” Teresa Parker.

Time is running out, registration closes on May 8. The role that organizational leaders play in championing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives to foster a sense of belonging within their organizations is critical. As leaders, they set the tone for the culture and values that guide the workplace. By actively promoting and supporting EDI efforts, they create an environment where every individual feels respected, valued, and included, regardless of their background, identity, or perspective. Their actions speak volumes. They must lead by example, demonstrating a commitment to listening to diverse voices, addressing biases, and creating opportunities for all team members to thrive and succeed. On May 22 in Toronto, discover how organizational leaders determine the success or failure of EDI and belonging throughout the organization. https://buff.ly/3TxB0Rx Angela White - Thushyan Kayilas JD, MSW - Nupur Khandelwal, M.Ed, CHRL - Zara M.

🌟🚀 **Team Leadership Spotlight** 🚀🌟 As a leader, gauging your success can be as nuanced as the intelligence work we do. But today, an extraordinary event unfolded that underscored my belief in this phenomenal team I have the honour to lead. 🤝 We hosted a briefing with two insightful colleagues to deep-dive into intelligence and investigation quality. To our astonishment, the DCI overseeing intelligence change graced us with their presence. What ensued was nothing short of remarkable. 🕵️♂️🔍 The level of professionalism and candour displayed by my team was exemplary. Their interaction with the DCI was both eye-opening and a clear testament to the extraordinary work they've been doing. The feedback we received was not just overwhelmingly positive; it was downright humbling. 🙏💼 It turns out, we're not just a team; we're the benchmark for front line policing excellence. 🏆👮♀️ I often say, "A team is a sum of all its parts," and I've consciously chosen to 'shop' for the very best, akin to selecting Lamborghini parts for a powerhouse vehicle. 🏎💨 This powerhouse is built on: - Quality 🎖 - Trust 🤝 - Connections 🌐 - Purpose 🎯 - Rebel Ideas 💡 - Talent 🌟 - Acknowledgement 👏 Every member of Team 4 Tonbridge has played a pivotal role in shaping me into the leader I am today, and for that, I am eternally grateful. They've stretched me, challenged me, and pushed me to invest in them the way they've invested their trust in me. 💪✨ Why does all of this matter, you ask? Because with Team 4 on shift, I sleep soundly knowing the Kent public receives the best policing response they can get. And that's a win not just for us, but for the community we serve. 🛡👨👩👧👦 A huge shout-out to my team for being the change, for embodying excellence, and for making a difference every single day. 🙌🎉 Team 4 Tonbridge, you are my pride, my drive, and my commitment to better leadership.

Sharing some key takeaways from my bitesize session on, ‘Navigating Career Advancement’. The Network for Black Women Leaders (NBWL) recently hosted an insightful and empowering Bitesize Session led by Ruth Heron, Executive Coach from Kenroi Consulting. Ruth brought her expertise and personal experience to the session, offering Black women invaluable strategies for navigating workplace bias, building their personal brands, and achieving their career goals with confidence. Overcoming Workplace Bias - Ruth tackled the dual bias of racism and sexism that Black women often face in the workplace. She shared strategies for navigating and overcoming these challenges, such as documenting non-inclusive interactions, building support networks, and advocating for inclusive policies. At the core of Ruth’s session were three key pillars for advancing your career: Building a Personal Brand: Reflect on what you want to be known for and the impact you want to make. Developing Executive Presence: Position yourself as a leader through confidence, composure, and effective communication. Networking and Mentorship: Cultivate relationships that support your growth and visibility. Ruth left attendees inspired and equipped to navigate their careers with clarity and purpose. Her emphasis on reflection, authenticity, and strategy resonated deeply, providing actionable insights to help Black women overcome workplace challenges and step into leadership roles with confidence.
