Today, I had the incredible opportunity to explore how we can make the public sector a place where EVERYONE feels like they truly belong. One key takeaway that struck a chord with me? The notion that "no" is simply a temporary pause, not a permanent roadblock – “no is just a no for today”.  When we encounter obstacles or resistance in our quest to create a more inclusive environment, it's essential to remember that every setback is just a steppingstone on the path to progress. Sometimes, you must go back and reframe, reimagine, and reignite our commitment to fostering belonging in the workplace. When we prioritize belonging, we pave the way for a brighter, more vibrant future for ALL. #BelongingMatters #PublicSectorPioneers #CultureMatters

Do you recognize these women? March is Women's History Month, and we're celebrating! Lots of women throughout history were responsible for some of science's greatest milestones, but without the same recognition as their male peers. Studying the history of science isn't complete without knowing the stories and work of these women that came before us. Check out our latest blog post to learn more about just a few of these inspiring scientists! https://bit.ly/498ku0d

Thanks Aleya Harris, CPCE for your insights and being an absolute force of nature and inspiring action at USC Women's Conference Virtual Mentorship & Networking Session tonight! I had the honor to host a breakout session on one of my favorite topics - NetGiving - fostering meaningful connections and genuine relationships and offering resources, advice, or guidance without expecting immediate transactions in return. There was great vulnerability and generosity in the group. What insights, resources, or words of wisdom can you share? Let's build a supportive community together! - Tomorrow is my last day (involuntary) at work. How do I leave with grace and remark on the next chapter with success? - I’ve been applying to internships and none have accepted me yet, any advice? - I’m a recent grad, and I’m not feeling accomplished at all because despite earning my degree, I haven’t found work, and I’m not sure I’m clear on my career path.  - I’ve been trying to break into the entertainment industry and am hitting dead ends. I’m lacking a network to help.  - I’ve passed The Bar (lawyer) but am feeling lost- is this even the career I’m looking for? #netgiving #collectivewisdom #helpingeachother #generositymatters

Join us in celebrating the significant contributions of women to our industry for Women’s History Month in March. This monthlong celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society has been observed annually in the United States since 1987, but began as a local grassroots celebration in California in 1978 as Women's History Week. In 1980, several woman’s groups and historians led by the National Woman’s History Project (now known as the National Women’s History Alliance) successfully lobbied for national recognition, and the same year the first federal proclamation was issued declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as Woman’s History Week. In 1987, another proclamation was passed declaring March Women's History Month. This year's theme is "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion," recognizing women who understand the need to eliminate bias and discrimination from individuals' lives and institutions.
