It’s not really about golf. It’s about how hard it is for women to network and build relationships as effectively as men in our industry - with everyone. It was lonely joining the industry in 2017 from a sector where events were always mixed. Joining construction, the summer was dominated by golf days, the winter by football matches where the invites only went to men, and this Cinderella had to create opportunities on her own to build the network that supported my job. Which obviously I did! And women like Suzannah Nichol MBE ???? Alison Cox Julie White Sandi Rhys Jones, OBE, FCIOB Lynn Way Rhaynukaa Soni CFIOSH made it so much easier to get to know the industry and are great connectors and friends. On that flip side we now have a thriving women in construction movement - a network that has benefitted all of us in being able to find friendship and support. But again - it’s gender specific. I don’t know what the answer is, but the fact we are talking about the impact non-inclusive events have had on women feeling included and welcome, and how it can negatively impact our professional relationships, should enable us to broaden the conversation. So, it’s not really about the golf. It’s about how we as an industry create an environment that recognises that the demographic profile is different in 2024 than it was in 1984, and we need it to be even more different in 2034! Bring out your women! We don’t bite ?? #construction #leadership #inclusion

It is hard to imagine that just some 57 years ago, a woman running a marathon was not normal. But, Kathrine Virginia broke the barriers in history in 1967 for the first time as she became the first registered woman to run in the Boston marathon. Switzer's participation wasn't just about completing 26.2 miles; it was a defiant act against a society that believed women were incapable of such athletic feats. Her presence on the course shocked officials and spectators alike. Despite attempts to physically remove her from the race, Switzer persevered, finishing the marathon and proving that women belonged in this realm. Beyond the finish line, Kathrine's marathon run became a catalyst for change. It sparked conversations about inclusivity and equal opportunities for women in sports, paving the way for future generations of female athletes. But it took 5 years before women were officially allowed to run the Boston Marathon in 1972. One act of defiance by Katherine finally resulted in altering the history. What barriers do you think still exist for women in marathon running and other sports, and how can we overcome them? Share your opinion in the comment section below.

In times past, women were seen as bridges for men to cross in pursuit of their goals, often at the expense of their dreams and aspirations. Today, we stand at a crossroads of change, where it's time for men to become the bridges that support and elevate women, acknowledging their sacrifices and championing their success. This era calls for a reversal of roles in acknowledgment and action, fostering an environment where men's active support and partnership propels women's achievements. Together, we can and must transform the narrative from silent endurance to mutual empowerment and shared victories, crafting a future where success is built on the foundations of equality and mutual respect from Battlefields2Sportsfields.

Is it time to level the playing field? Award winning isn’t just for the big boys (and girls). It’s no longer a suited and booted men's club either. And it’s not about who can pay the most, wins the most. Tonnes of awards are actually SPECIFICALLY about celebrating small businesses like yours. The women creating their own futures and changing the lives of others on the way. In other words, the women kicking ass. Let the fact that you’re a small business be your superpower! NOT the thing that puts you off entering ??♀? #awards2024 #smallbusinessawards #awardwriter

???♂??? DIVERSITY DRIVES GOLF’S ECONOMY! ??click here to read on: https://lnkd.in/eKbsjHGv ????♀? While golf needs more workers, it’s also missing out on talent from nearly half the population: women. With women making up less than 10% of the professional golf workforce globally, there’s untapped potential waiting to be harnessed. ?? That’s where diversity comes in. By framing diversity through economic necessity, we can drive real change in golf’s workforce dynamics. ?? ?? We delved into the data of 21 national PGA organisations across three continents and discovered a clear trend: PGAs with more diverse boards also have more diverse memberships. ?? But it’s not just about equality; it’s about industry performance too. Companies with diverse boards report higher returns on sales and equity. ???? ?? So, what’s the takeaway? It’s time for action. Golf needs a workforce that reflects its future, and that starts with diversifying boards. ?? Let’s build a golf industry that’s not just inclusive but economically thriving too! ??? #GolfIndustry #DiversityInGolf #WorkforceSolutions

?? October is National Women’s Small Business Month, where we celebrate the incredible achievements of women entrepreneurs who drive innovation, create jobs, and inspire change. With over 14 million (and growing) women owned small businesses (WOSBs) in the United States, we can’t help but admire the outstanding progress that women have made in modern times. In fact, the National Women’s Business Center (NWBC) reports, “14 million women-owned businesses make up 39.1 percent of all U.S. businesses—a 13.6 percent increase from 2019 to 2023— and they are coming out of the pandemic stronger than the 2008 financial crisis, especially those owned by women of color.” ?? At Cynuria, we’re proud to support and work at and alongside women entrepreneurs, including our own CEO, Houri Tamizifar who leads with excellence. Her leadership continues to pave the way for a diverse and dynamic business landscape. Join us in celebrating the creativity and leadership of WOSBs by tagging a woman-owned business you admire! Let’s keep empowering young women to dream big and build even bigger! ???
