Sailing Towards Inspiration ⛵
The ‘Unleashing Women’s Potential’ video series explores the fascinating stories of the #PuigWomensAC, the first-ever female edition of America's Cup, which will take over Barcelona next October.
Olivia Mackay, a member of Emirates Team New Zealand, shines a spotlight on and celebrates the women who have successfully navigated the waters of competitive sailing. Their path has been hard earned yet profoundly inspirational.

I haven't purchased the sponsor for the purge. A woman's America's Cup is is massive. I mean they're an incredibly feminine brand and I think having that brand associated with the regatta gives incredible value to it. Females who have made a career in sailing are quite few and from my understanding is not been the easiest path and for this to to be. Offered to women will really change future generations. I really hope it inspires younger girls to get into the sport and to understand that there is a career in sailing if that's what they want to do and that the whole face of the sport is changing. My passion for sailing started when I was probably around 7:00. I watched my brother learn the sport and it's, yeah, really weary, started to love the sport. So I'm one of five women. And the Woman's Americas Cup team for Emirates Team New Zealand, I was working towards Tokyo and and missed out on qualifying and came into a different foiling path and that was a huge step for me. That's hugely significant to have. The First Purge Woman's Americas Cup will be completely game changing for females in our sport. I think the boats and the AC40, it will provide great racing that will really lift woman's sailing.

How often do you shake up your organization's thinking and do things outside the box? On the (world's) biggest stage?
The recent Olympic Games challenged long held traditions and notions of possibility. Take for example:
🔥 Having an Olympic cauldron that had no flame!
🚤 An opening ceremony held not in a stadium--but on a river!
🏊🏼 Swimming in that same river in which it hadn't been legal to swim in for over a century!
👫 Achieving gender parity for the first time ever!
What level of creativity, perspective, determination, and courage does it take to break these barriers? To see things differently and achieve different--extraordinary--results.
This reminds me of our Vistage meetings where we do exactly this for our members. Through sharing, challenge, and accountability we see things differently. We become open to new ideas and possibilities. Our members; results speak for themselves.
If you are ready to shake your thinking up and see things differently; come join us.

Thanks Jim Ristuccia!
First and very apropos for Paris: It’s not the recipe. It’s the chef.
It’s what #LeeThayer addressed in his almost 50 years of working with Visage Chairs and members. Here are some of the takeaways I learned by being one of those TEC/Vistage Chairs for 34 years.
Challenge Conventional Thinking:
Sometimes, the usual way of approaching a problem might not be the best way. It's important to question why you're doing something the way you are and consider alternative approaches. (See Lee's Leadership: Thinking, Being, Doing)
Start Fresh:
When stuck, starting from scratch and thinking about what you want to achieve can be helpful rather than getting stuck just trying to fix what’s broken.
Avoid Mental Traps:
People often fall into the trap of sticking with familiar methods, especially if they've worked before. However, being open to new ideas and approaches can lead to more effective solutions. (See Jennifer Garvey Berger's: Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps: How to Thrive in Complexity)

🎉 ¡VAMOS ARGENTINA! 🎉
What an incredible accomplishment yesterday! Celebrating Argentina's victory in the Copa America 2024 is truly inspiring. The energy, teamwork, and determination displayed are remarkable. 🏆⚽️🇦🇷
Reflecting on this triumph, I draw parallels between a successful football team and effective recruitment strategies.
💡 Here are a few lessons to apply from the pitch to the workplace:
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Build a cohesive team by seeking candidates who align with your company's culture and values. 🏄♀️
- Stay Agile and Adaptable: Flexibility in recruitment can lead to finding the perfect match.
- Celebrate Wins Together: Recognise achievements to boost morale and create a positive work environment. 🎉
- Continuous Improvement: Encourage a culture of learning and development to stay ahead of the game.
Let's bring the winning spirit from the Copa America into our professional lives! 🌟🏅

Every day, the para athletes from Team Deloitte overcome distinct hurdles. And every day they prove that anything is possible if you have the right support. At Deloitte, we are proud to support our colleagues not only professionally, but also in their careers as top athletes – not just on the international day of disabilites, but every single day.
The importance we place on diversity and inclusion can be seen in Team Deloitte: Curtis McGrath, a Paracanoeist, has already won several Paralympic medals. And you already know Pieter du Preez, who has won a gold medal in Para cycling at Tokyo 2020 and is now aiming for his third Paralympic Games.
They are all different and yet have one thing in common – as Deloitte professionals, they want to qualify for Paris 2024. We wish them every success!

Is It Fair? Controversy in the Olympic Ring 🥊🏅
In a shocking turn of events at the 2024 Olympics, Italian boxer Angela Carini found herself up against a biological male boxer Imane Khelif, who identifies as female.
The match ended quickly, with Carini being knocked out in just 46 seconds, abandoning her bout after enduring hard hits.
This controversial bout raises critical questions about fairness in competitive sports.
While I strongly support inclusivity in all areas of life, I can't help but question whether this situation was fair to all athletes involved.
Promoting equality is crucial, but where should we draw the line to ensure fair competition?
This isn’t the first time such a scenario has sparked debate. Previous instances, like the case of Laurel Hubbard in weightlifting, and Lia Thomas in swimming, have also raised questions about how to balance inclusivity with fair competition.
🌟 Inclusivity is vital in ensuring everyone has the opportunity to compete and thrive in sports. But when fairness is in question, where do we draw the line? 🤔
📈 What’s the Solution? While it’s essential to support inclusivity, it’s equally crucial to ensure fair competition. Could there be more nuanced guidelines or separate categories that preserve fairness and inclusivity for all?
What are your thoughts on this issue? How do we create a sports environment that is both fair and inclusive?
