Introducing my book
No Sex at Work inspires you to see yourself as an individual not a gender. Success at work is not about your sex, it’s about you. It’s about learning certain skills and behaviours to help you excel in your career.
— WHAT IS MY PURPOSE
Why I’m passionate about gender diversity
I was fortunate to have great role models and mentors in my upbringing and my career. Not everyone is so fortunate. During my career it became so clear the importance of having good mentors and advocates in your corner guiding you and providing their experience. Not just people who are exactly like you, but people with different ideas and backgrounds who can challenge thoughts and show you other ways of doing things. Diversity of all kinds is so important if we are going to move forward to a more inclusive work culture and world. I am passionate about helping others see themselves as an individual and also for them to see others as individuals capable of doing great things.
— WHAT I STAND FOR
Don’t levelise people, treat everyone with the same respect.
Everyone has a role to play in a successful business, and you should treat everyone equally, with respect. My upbringing reinforced that no one is better or worse than anyone else. When you decide who is important and who isn’t and treat them accordingly, you make a fundamental mistake. The most successful executives know that everyone is an important stakeholder.
— HOW I CAN HELP
Helping you avoid making the same mistakes I did, is a passion for me.
I believe everyone should have the career they have always dreamed of and the support to help them get there. Providing guidance and support is my way of giving back and to help others achieve their goals.
Keynote Speaking
The best way to learn in my view, is to learn from people who have real life experience. People who pass on practical tips for you to implement in order to help you on your journey. All my key note presentations are structured for you to walk away inspired and with tools you can use to progress in your career.
