UPWARD Women的动态

From the desk of Dr. Gerilyn Davis: Happy Thursday! I hope you are feeling expansive on this Thursday! There is something special about knowing that we have a little more in the tank to share with others. In Phase Four: Review Weekly of the SWORD Inclusion System for Boards, we start bridging the expertise gaps even beyond the industry. --- INCLUSIVE EXPANSION: To expand our perspective, we seek industry expertise from complementary industries that can expand our reach. --- BOARD EXPANSION: Recruit expertise from strategy, marketing, operations, and finance divisions. --- EXPERTISE EXPANSION: Attempt to look beyond the C-suite to engage individuals with more time to offer relevant experience. By fostering inclusive boards, we cultivate inclusive organizations and more inclusive communities. By taking a systematic approach that iterates the value inclusivity provides, we intentionally expand our capacity. We become more of who we are. It's what we are here to be. Enjoy the day! #joyofincluson #inclusionexpansion #inclusionincludesyoutoo #InclusionontheSlopes #SWORDInclusionSystem #PhaseFourReviewWeekly #BoardInclusion

It's not just a nice-to-have or a hunch. Diversity on any team is invaluable according to research. As Adam Grant mentions, when people gather with people across different backgrounds, they feel just the right amount of discomfort to come prepared and open to broader, productive discussion. Let's keep up the work necessary to invite and cultivate the participation of diverse voices at our decision-making tables. At Seen@Work, we're here to help. #DiversityAndInclusion #BenefitsOfDiversity

Whilst it is easy to see the progress of tackling a lack of diversity in business as a linear one, this is not always the case and so we’d like to raise a point. This year there have been a number of backward steps. The Tech Talent Charter announced that it will stop its work in August after finding that D&I initiatives were no longer considered a priority. The campaign found similar issues within the advertising industry. In 2021 73% of advertising execs were white, by 2022 it was 90%. A 2024 report on NHS comms positions have noted a similar backward trend. The point we have to raise is that to help the underrepresented get into the workplace, we need to be proactive. These issues will not resolve themselves. This is why we are always looking for new partners for our mentoring, leadership and bespoke programmes that help people from underrepresented backgrounds climb up the corporate ladder. https://lnkd.in/eBqqbjFj #legacy #alegacyfortomorrow #aleto #leadersoftomorrow #leadershiptraining #diversityisastrength #equalityofopportunity #bt #ovo #corporatepartnership #betterleaders #bossman #careerstraining #investinyoungpeople #talentscout #ukcharity #powerlist #realchange

Celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth, we interviewed the amazing women leaders at Govplace with 3 simple yet impactful questions. Today we feature our creative and adventure-seeking Marketing Manager, Gabriela Miranda: Who is the most influential woman in your life and how does she inspire you? "This is a difficult one to answer because so many women in my life inspire me daily, but I would have to say the CEO of Govplace, Simone Feldman, has been one of the most influential in my career. Her confidence, humility, and kindness as a leader are traits to be admired. The patience and guidance she has shown me, and others, has been instrumental to my professional and personal growth. I’ll always be grateful for her dedication to her team’s success and ensuring we are all truly heard." What does it mean to you to be a leader? "To me, leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room, it's about being the one that listens the most. True leadership is demonstrated through transparently acknowledging failures, learning from them, and embracing humility and open-mindedness. It's about inspiring others to explore their potential and fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive." What are your plans to pay it forward and support other women in the industry? "My growth was only possible due to people in the industry generously sharing their knowledge, experience, and having a genuine interest in helping me reach my career goals. This is how I’d like to pay it forward - by never withholding information and sharing everything I know to those who are seeking a similar career path. In a world where so many women in tech are told “no”, I’d love to be the “yes” that opens the door to a whole new world of opportunities and encourages them to break the mold." #GetToKnowGovplace

The finance department does not have to communicate why they are a necessary function of any successful organization. So it is a bit frustrating to be back in the position of advocacy for DEI initiatives after four years of momentum. We discussed this hurdle during our last roundtable. Leaders should focus on why this benefits their organization. Consider how retention impacts your bottom line and recruitment. Think about longevity; diversity is extremely important to Gen Zers in the workforce. #DEI is not just a title, or just three letters. It truly impacts an organization’s success and that’s what stakeholders care about. We want to thank every attendee who shared what their day-to-day has become under the recent attacks on DEI, and how they are guiding their clients and organizations through this period to remain committed to inclusive cultures. If you enjoyed this post, you will not want to miss our next virtual roundtable. Sign up here to stay up to date: https://buff.ly/3E1snGr

Despite their immense potential, many women in tech drop out of leadership roles, often feeling isolated and unsupported. It’s time to change this narrative. Here are some actionable steps to foster a culture of inclusion and support for women in tech: >Champion Representation: Actively advocate for diverse hiring practices and ensure women are included in leadership pipelines. >Build Connections: Join our network to find mentors, peers, and allies who understand your journey and can offer valuable support. >Encourage Authenticity: Create spaces where women can share their experiences openly, knowing they are heard and valued. Organisations that fail to support women in leadership risk losing top talents and innovative perspectives. Embrace your worth, claim your power as a leader, and stand strong as a community.

Our mission is to bring conscious women into power so we can make peace and abundance the baseline for humanity. Collective64 is a sanctuary for members to join other women desiring to co-create wisdom, wealth and power, rooted in love, led by co-founders, longtime entrepreneurs, and investors @katyaslife and @livwithluxury. We’re a community where compassion reigns over competition, and leadership blooms from connection and collaboration. ?? Each cohort of the Collective at Divine Feminine Leader has 64 women, and runs for an entire year. In each cohort, we guide women through harnessing their feminine energy, integrating this into all aspects of their life, not just in spirit, but also in business and leadership. Cohort One of The Collective64 is already underway, but if our mission resonates with you, be on the lookout as we open applications for Cohort Two and reach out to learn more about this unique opportunity. https://lnkd.in/eyAuiuQd #feminineleadership
