The 3L Lady: Lisbon, London and Launda: The Episode with Paula Moio and the DE&I vision

I was able to meet the amazing Paula Moio when I was travelling to London and what a great catch up we had, recording #Live the Episode of the MACE PODCAST

Paula likes seeing herself as the 3L Lady as she was born in Luanda (Angola), raised in Lisbon and adopted by London.

She is a self-made, future-focused professional, who truly embraces her passion, advocating for change of perceptions and recognition of the Admin Profession. She works tirelessly alongside a likeminded global network of professionals to raise the profile of the Admin Profession in today’s demanding market, and she is determined to break barriers.

She has worked for 15 years at BBC News/BBC World Service where she won the BBC News Award for her outstanding contribution to the company. In 2016 she worked as a consultant in a professional training project for EA/PA in partnership with the prestigious Academy BAI in Luanda in the creation of a co-designed course for Admin Professionals.

A partnership to foster a change of mindset to develop and amplify potential in raw talent and creating annual seminars for the last four years.In order to promote and raise the profile of the profession in Angola, she is partnering with associations and institutions to bring seminars and conferences to grant the access to people that want to start the Admin Profession.

More recently she became the founder of Moyoeno Lusofonando a project that has its primary objective to train and empower professionals and let them excel in what they do.

What has brought the amazing conversation with Paula? Here my takeaways:

• Be open, Be authentic and stay true to you first
• DEI needs B: Belonging. We cannot be inclusive without belonging
• DEI starts with intentions and daily actions: it is about Calling people in
• Stereotypes belong to humans. It is up to humans breaking them.
• It is much bigger what makes us closer than what divides us. Differences are manageable
• There is no possibility without curiosity.

Which are your ones?

We live in a complex and varicoloured world where the differences are more tangible than similarities: if we want to live in such world, wed need to learn how to embrace #Diversity, with #Equity and #Inclusivity, to get the foundation of the sense of #Belonging.
