Our Pillars
For me, our pillars represent our ongoing development, re-examination, awareness and impact for women on their leadership journey. Our pillars will expand to facilitate ongoing change and work that impact this wicked problem of diversity, equity and inclusion. We will fill these pillars with key ingredients, frame works, perspectives, resources and more to tackle organisation culture, unconscious bias, breaking barriers and social impact.
leadership
The role of a leader is not to come up with all the great ideas. The role of a leader is to create an environment in which great ideas can happen . - Simon Sinek
allyship
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. - Amelia Earhart
mentorship
Mentors should care enough to say, “ I want them to soar - not just soar under my wing” That’s a captive relationship.
Mentors don’t want a captive relationship. They just want to see people soar. They want to give them wings. - Indra Nooyi
gender equality
Lack of female leadership in climate decisions affects our economy, our social structure, our ability to innovate and create solutions - Antoinette Vermilye
“There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice.”
