Why does skilling your leaders to be more inclusive need to be your number 1 business focus? Because it's the human thing to do and makes clear business sense. 🔴 Ethnically diverse companies are 39% more likely to financially outperform their competitors. 🟠 Companies with a high representation of women at exec level are 27% more likely to outperform their competitors. 🟡 Companies with diverse executive teams were 33% more likely to be profitable 🟢 Teams with neurodiverse individuals are 30% more productive 🔵 Companies that prioritise disability inclusion earn 1.6x more revenue & 2.6x more profit 🟣 Diverse-by-design teams are 70% more likely to capture new markets You can find all the sources of these stats and ways to get started in our Business case for Inclusive Leadership: https://lnkd.in/e7MGeCSN

I've been privileged to work with Chief and so many incredible women who have been part of it. Since Chief launched in 2019, business and the world has changed, and so have the needs of senior leaders. As a Chief Guide, and executive coach, I’ve seen so many shifts. I've seen how Chief Core and its other resources have impacted the lives of so many gifted women - in the moment they've needed it most. Chief is for executive women who want to create change, not just navigate it. With that in mind, in addition to its already powerful offerings, Chief today launches a more customized approach to executive development, with options to adapt as your leadership goals evolve. It’s inspired by years of growth, tens of thousands of women executives, and a wealth of invaluable feedback. https://lnkd.in/gVd9uSTe

I once organized my company's International Women's Day event. If you're a woman of recreation, tourism and hospitality, perhaps you have been tasked with a similar chore. We ate cupcakes. Posed for a group photo in the hotel lobby. Put some banners up in the cafeteria. We had approximately $0 in the budget to make it happen. Nothing changed. I continued to see high performing leaders exit the industry to work in different sectors. I know we can do better. We need to do better. WORTH Association is hosting the WORTH Leadership Summit following IWD, the first event of its kind in Western Canada. We invite all genders to join us to engage with some difficult questions: - How are women’s voices represented in leadership? - What is the broken rung and how do we fix it? - What policies are in place to ensure women can speak up against discrimination and harassment? - How can mothers reconcile career ambitions and motherhood? - How do we hire and promote more women with intersecting identities and set them up for success? Earlybird rates end soon. Learn more about our event and speakers by visiting www.worthsummit.ca. Who is with us?

Thank you Ann Houghton for another beautifully-written piece that’s encouraged me to reflect on the concept of ‘Quiet Leadership’ and the value it holds. Ann says: “We can be leaders in lots of other ways. […] There are people I know who don’t have a title but they’re absolutely at the top of their game and command enormous respect. We need to recognise the leaders amongst us who naturally lead people in quiet ways.” Leadership does indeed take many forms and is not always the person shouting the loudest and charging ahead. Sometimes, the leader is the person walking alongside a team, drawing them in and inspiring through gentle examples. 💭 Food for thought as I work on my own leadership skills … Do we all have an innate leadership style? Does/can this evolve? Or is it perhaps about having a leadership toolbelt that we pull the most appropriate approach from at any given time? 🤔

Resilience for todays Women in Business: We need a new sort of resilience as women in business in 2024. A deep insecure world, devoid of global political and moral leadership, requires us leading businesses to be the leaders within our communities like never before. Leadership that is resilient and transitional but kind and honest at same time. How do we become the leaders this world needs, and how do we preserve hope and optimism in a culture that constantly challenges us at every turn. We are in a unique place in the history of the world, a world transitioning from humans to technology. We have to keep humanity but not lag behind in technology as we navigate these challenging times. Book for our next KZN Women in Business meeting: https://lnkd.in/dzByC2Fq

We also shared practical steps for leaders to take in embracing inclusivity in their organizations.
