The Nobel Prizes are a reflection of a deeper issue in how we value contributions across the board. We must re-examine selection processes, making sure evaluation criteria account for the undervalued collaborative/supportive roles women frequently play.

If women perceive a lack of support or #mentorship opportunities within flat structures, it can deter them from pursuing roles. Orgs need to balance the benefits of flat structures + ensure clear avenues for support, growth, and recognition.

Yes progress has been made in some respects- #women now hold 29% of #CSuite positions compared to 17% in 2015- but we can see the #CorporatePipeline remains imbalanced the higher the level. Men still continue to outnumber women at every stage.

Tech companies have a collective responsibility to safeguard their users, especially in an era where #deepfake scams are becoming more prevalent. Meta’s facial recognition technology could be a positive step forward in this space. theguardian.com/technology/202…

From a #leadership perspective, if we’re serious about supporting our teams, it’s time to move beyond surface-level perks and create environments where #wellbeing is a priority, not an afterthought. fortune.com/2024/10/18/wor…

Rather than asking what women leaders can do differently, we need to examine how organisations can actively support them- starting with engaging stakeholders as allies and addressing misinformation.

We're navigating a world that's more uncertain and interconnected than ever before. Embracing paradoxes and staying flexible as a #leader aren't just skills, they're essential strategies for driving meaningful impact in this environment.

This is a fairly straightforward experiment that highlighted a truth that shouldn't be so complicated: equal work deserves #EqualPay. Even young children can grasp the concept of fairness while our societies still struggle with implementing it. #Equality independent.co.uk/news/world/int…

Our world's greatest strength lies in its diversity. But if we're very clear, tolerance isn't just about coexisting- it's about understanding, listening, and truly embracing differences in a world that's beautifully complex. #InternationalDayOfTolerance #Diversity #Tolerance

Removing tasks won't empower #managers. Their role as coaches and connectors remains crucial, but they need more than #technology- they need a supportive structure.

Managers with both high competence AND high empathy can better meet the need to work with teams that are culturally and physically disparate. Especially in today's global workplaces, this dual strength helps #managers address the unique needs of a diverse workforce.

How organisations arrange and empower their specialists directly impacts outcomes. We need a deliberate approach to placing #talent, fostering collaboration, and ensuring that technical know-how isn't only present but also fully integrated into decision-making processes.

#GenderEquity in the workplace isn't a given- it requires intentional sustained effort. A "broken rung" remains in promotions: for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women make it, a gap that has barely improved over time. hbr.org/2024/11/younge…?

Every 11 minutes, a woman is killed across the world, often by someone she knows. Ending #violence against #women requires more than just words; it demands well-funded national strategies, support for women’s rights movements, and a societal commitment to change. #NoExcuse

Confidence has never been the issue. It’s the gendered environments and inflexible workplace cultures that hinder women’s career progress.

How many women have a “runaway” fund? #Financial resilience isn’t just a personal buffer; it’s a form of security! I tell my girls this as women are statistically more likely to face greater risk exposure and often shoulder unique financial responsibilities. #WealthManagement

Transparent decision-making, #mentorship programmes and inclusive policies are essential steps to addressing these biases but real progress will only come when #leadership actively dismantles these outdated norms and ensures diverse leadership is valued equally.

Jennifer Lawrence and Malala Yousafzai's 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 & 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨 documentary sheds light on the fact that #gender #apartheid is very much real. #AfghanWomen's fight for education, freedom and dignity should never be forgotten. #WomenSupportWomen bbc.com/culture/articl…

A story that's less about #AI failing to meet expectations and more about our tendency to overestimate short-term change while underestimating long-term potential. Instead of dismissing the hype as misplaced, should we recalibrate and focus on meaningful, scalable #innovation?

#Innovation can happen from within an organisation, it doesn't have to always be starting something from scratch. It's called being an "#intrapreneur." Big ideas often start small, but success doesn't come from working in isolation. ted.com/talks/dave_rag…
