About Women, the power of events and the change we get if we collaborate 😊 Last week was ITB and World Women´s Day – and how better to highlight the power of human connections and female leader combined? I wanted to share the example of five amazing women I had the chance to meet for the first time (in person) after online exchanges. ❓Why amazing? Because they have led the shift in our industry since long, when it was even harder than today. They set the base for our work today! 🎈Five inspirations: Matt Poonin; shifting the way discover the Phillipines Carla Cantara-Wiegand; supporting hotels to get the visibility they need to besuccessful and create impact Laura Jara Reyes; a biologist wanting to show the true Colombia and make sure communities thrive   Cheryll & Kei; running their (Three Tree Hill Lodge) lodge with such deep connection to mother earth and their community Linda Veråsdal – working from Norway to Gambia and beyond to make people discover better places, support communities and create collaboration for impact. I get inspired, because of what these women do – them and so many more. Inviting you to reach out to other female change-makers in our industry. Ask them for help, collaborate and also create opportunities with them. Because we need more female leaders to be successful – they are crucial in the new travel industry. Let´s celebrate diversity, impact and collaboration. 💚ITB has been amazing to me. It was about the energy, the amount of change visible and the laughs and hugs. We have reached a level that highlights sustainability and local impact are game-changers and that despite the greenwashing around – we will learn, adjust but always improve. 🙏Together; better; impact. #impacttravel #sustainablehotels #travelbetter #partnershipforthegoals #femaleleadership #futureofhospitality

Do Culturally Inclusive Businesses Perform Better? I have never had to consciously 'think' about cultural inclusivity. Being born in the Congo and growing up in Mexico, cultural diversity has always been an integral part of my life, especially given how culturally diverse my family is. Reflecting on this, I realized the importance of consciously communicating our mission and stories. While cultural inclusivity comes naturally to me, it’s crucial to ensure that it resonates with everyone that comes into contact with out business, especially our team. At Koh Living, we work closely with First Nations artists, which gives us profound insights into another rich and vibrant culture, this significantly enhances our team’s engagement. They take pride in helping our mission to support and celebrate First Nations art and culture. From this perspective, I can confidently say that culturally inclusive businesses do perform better. Cultural inclusivity is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage, driving innovation, engagement, and success. Embracing diversity enables businesses to thrive and make a meaningful impact. #KohLiving #TuiCordemans #Aboriginalart #Culturalinclusivity

🌍 I recently returned from an incredible journey—a retreat in Lisbon, Portugal called the Thrive Retreat. Alongside 23 amazing women business owners from all over the world, I immersed myself in an experience that was nothing short of eye-opening. What struck me the most was the realization that no matter where we come from, we all face similar business challenges. But the real magic was in the diversity—the unique ways we each approached those challenges. The flood of fresh ideas and solutions completely shifted my own thinking, opening my eyes to new perspectives I hadn't considered before. Some people asked, “Why go all the way to Europe for a retreat?” It’s a fair question. But here’s the truth: Bold moves lead to bold results. And this was one bold move I’m so glad I made. I returned home with more than just fond memories. I came back with new friends, innovative ideas, and, most importantly, a fresh perspective on how to take my business to the next level. So, as we move into 2025, keep an eye on my business. I’ve got some exciting things on the horizon, and I’m ready to soar higher than ever before! #BusinessGrowth #WomenInBusiness #BoldMoves #Thrive

If you moved to or have lived/worked/studied in a country that was not your country of birth, what was your biggest challenge?

It's that time of the year when we celebrate how awesome women are all around the world. And guess what? One powerful way to celebrate this day is through travel experiences that embrace diversity and promote inclusion for women of all backgrounds. So you might be wondering, how is travel a catalyst for empowerment and inclusion? Let me show you: ♥ Solo Adventures: Imagine exploring a big forest or a bustling city all by yourself. You learn so much about yourself and realize you're capable of so much. It empowers you to trust your instincts, make decisions autonomously, and navigate the world on your terms. ♥ Cultural Immersion: Traveling lets you dive into different cultures and traditions. You get to taste foods, learn new words, and make friends from all over the world. Women who engage in cultural immersion experiences gain insights into global issues, challenge stereotypes, and forge meaningful connections with people from diverse backgrounds. ♥ Networking Opportunities: When you travel, you get to meet a lot of interesting people. You might meet locals who tell you amazing stories or travelers who share your love for adventure. Whether through chance encounters with fellow travelers or even intentional networking events, women can forge valuable connections that support personal and professional growth. ♥ Career Growth: Did you know traveling can help you grow in your job too? You learn to solve problems, talk to different people, and try new things. Women who embrace travel often find themselves better equipped to navigate diverse work environments, seize opportunities for career advancement, and make meaningful contributions to their fields. ♥ Breaking Barriers: By venturing into unfamiliar territories, women break barriers, redefine boundaries, and also inspire others to embrace their own potential. So today, celebrate by going on an awesome adventure. By embarking on a journey of inclusion, women reaffirm their place as global citizens, catalysts for change, and champions of equality and justice. For me, I celebrate and acknowledge these remarkable women whose achievements and contributions are really inspiring: Olamide Babayemi, Kemi Oyewale, Olayemisi Esther Olabamowo, Wealth Arumemi, OpeOluwa Sodipe, Chidinma Dumbi Corporate Ticketing And Sales Executive, Ololade Aiden-Ekan, Peace Inetianbor, Kehinde Baiyewunmi, Ruth Idemudia, Obianuju Mofunanya and so many of them! #internationalwomensday2024 #travel #solotravel

Anneke Adema, Netherlands ambassador to Singapore, asked us at yesterday's International Women's day reception what are the challenges we faced as women, one-by-one. Apparently IWD started in 1909 and we shared her sentiment too about why do we still have this day? As the microphone got passed around, concerns of age/generation/spouse/workplace prejudices still exist. When you hear it all at one go, it did sound like we are still quite far from real progress. And we are in Singapore, already imbued with more privileges and entitlements than many other countries in the region and emerging continents. #DEI has maybe become yet another acronym that people may pass off because it can be construed as remote, far-fetched, cumbersome to unpack. I count myself again and again very lucky so from a position of strength I would share. Being a woman, and a happy one, inclusion for me - and I have personally experienced quite a good load of it - boils down to: 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧 Respect women for their ability to lead, not just execute. Respect women for their potential to grow, not by limiting assumptions. Respect women for their voice, not at the expense of convenience. Respect women as their being - all is possible, given the opportunity. Feeling respected is a solid foundation to the inclusion journey. I know first hand how it feels when I was transferred to Paris to take on the job of Europe Marketing Director for Acer when I said I wanted it at age 27. When the Italian subsidiary was in shambles, they respected my integrity to go fix it at age 29, with no business or financial background. And I did the job darn well and got rewarded handsomely as I was entitled to income on profit as well. I would have done the same even without incentive but I felt respected when it was accorded to me. That tangibility was meaning in action. A different education and language is required not just at the workplace, even at home. Flippant remarks about the feminine species should be called out. Otherwise they get applied elsewhere and the vicious cycle never ends. What are we teaching the next gen? RESPECT also means we do not want to feel like it's a favour, it's served on a platter or that we are just a percentile of quota. Women must continue to rise up to the occasion. Seize the opportunity when it shows up. Stop apologising for it. Be proud of your ability. If there are roadblocks, be determined, diligent and intelligent to remove it. As long as you are judged on performance, and not on gender and circumstances, take it with your head held high with a positive, growth mindset. What was also very meaningful yesterday was knowing I am in the mind of Gabby van Herpt, a supportive woman of my work since the time I brought the world's 1st maritime accelerator, headquartered in Rotterdam to Singapore, backed by Enterprise Singapore and to make many new friendships of women who really want to do more, be more.
