This post! I could not be doing what I do without the support of Mike Wilcox!

This article highlights an unfortunate reality for women that’s not often talked about: how some more experienced women don’t support or even actively try to hold back younger women as they rise in their profession. This is especially true in male dominated industries. You got where you are today in part because at least one individual believed in you and took an interest in helping you along your professional path. Be that person. https://lnkd.in/gHxFJDtK

The statistic that around 80% of all riders are women not only highlights a clear gender bias in equestrian sports but also underlines the important role women play in shaping this field. 🏇 This solid female presence not only speaks volumes about empowerment and leadership within the sport but also showcases a rich tapestry of achievements, fostering a community where women excel and lead by example. Tips for aspiring female riders: 🌟 Look for role models: Accomplished riders who inspire and lead. 🌟Join Women-Led Equestrian Clubs – Engage with communities that not only support but also warmly welcome and encourage women in equestrian sports. Embrace this empowering environment to push boundaries and lead with confidence. #WomenInEquestrian #EquestrianLife #LeadingWithConfidence #EmpowermentInSport #RidingWithPride

More women playing football is a win, but true equality needs more. New efforts aim to get more girls involved, but will they have a real voice? Problems like harassment and unequal power between men and women need to be tackled to make it a welcoming space for everyone. Having more women in charge sounds good, but it's not that simple. While giving women leadership roles is a step forward, it only matters if they can actually change the status quo. We need to carefully examine these new ideas to make sure they truly benefit women in football. The ultimate goal is to create a sport where women have a fair shot and feel empowered to succeed. #WomensFootball #EqualityInSports

Today is International Women's Day. I was recently on a client call which was, bar one participant, entirely female. The comment was made just how rare that is in IT. Working for an almost entirely female company for the last 2.5 years I guess I'd forgotten what it was like to be the only 'girl' in the room, and how surprised people were when I spoke - rather coherently and persuasively - about technology. Or how hard it was to earn my place as not just a skilled marketing practitioner but also a trusted IT specialist. I always felt I had to work twice as hard, read three times more, prepare more thoroughly and defend my views flawlessly. There was never any room for error. Being writer comes with a fair dose of imposter syndrome. Writing for IT as a female? Multiply that to the power of 10. I feel so grateful though to have been a part of the 'transition' of this industry and to see the value that women in tech have brought, to tempering it with an additional dimension of insight, to infusing a kind of social consciousness and awareness, to being the women that we ourselves needed half a generation ago. I love my coterie of fabulous women, for their authenticity and fierce generosity of spirit. Cheers to them, and to all the other incredible women who are making waves, large and small wherever they are. 💫 #IWD2024 #WomenInTech #Empowerment #Equality #Inclusion

The empowerment of women in football is crucial for so many reasons. Including of course the most obvious of them such as the importance of inclusivity, social, and cultural advancements.  The power of women's football is now officially proven as the numbers go up and revenues rise along with their accelerating performance. #womensfootball #womeninfootball #empowerwomen #footballforall https://lnkd.in/dGvQpdDE
