Last week I had the privilege of attending Rural, Regional, Remote Women's Network of WA Cultivate event supported by ANZ. This program is about empowering and preparing RRR women for leadership. MC’ed by Tracy Lefroy GAICD setting the tone for the knowledge filled day. Phenomenal Sargeant Renae Johnson, an aircrew woman with experience in SA-70 Blackhawk and MRH90 aircrafts, shared her journey of navigating defence and family. Katina Law, 2023 WA Women’s Hall of Fame Inductee, shared her perspective on achieving a great career! The panel discussion featured Narelle Henry Ember Connect, Joslyn Jaekel-Smith ANZ, Ashley McGrath CEOs for Gender Equity and Brianna Peake CBH Group offering valuable insights on overcoming barriers. Elizabeth Beech ANZ learnings about financial literacy & financial well-being which I personally highly value, as it aligns with my belief that knowledge is power to achieving financial independence and success. The true highlight of RRR Network is the incredible women pictured. These connections go beyond professional networking - they are supportive and inspirational. Collectively, they make a positive impact on our regional community and evidence breaking down barriers. My three key takeaways from RRR Network Cultivate event: 1️⃣ Resilience: It’s about bouncing back from setbacks and challenges with even more determination. 2️⃣ Wait Until React: Pause, reflect, and think strategically before taking action. 3️⃣ Learn from Setbacks: Setbacks are opportunities to learn and grow. #rural #regional #remote #women #cultivate #leadership #breakdownbarriers

As the Women in Aviation & Aerospace Charter community came together recently at its 3rd annual dinner, sponsored by Oliver Wyman and Rolls-Royce, we paused to reflect on what has been achieved and what still needs to be done to create a more diverse and inclusive industry for all. The community celebrated progress with 255 organizations now signed up to the Charter, since our launch five years ago, and some improvements in the UK Gender Pay Gap in parts of the aviation and aerospace sectors. But significant gender disparity remains, and industry leaders (the perspectives of some of whom are captured below), are ready to act. WHY: The industry connects people from around the world, and if it is to innovate, it’s essential to represent those the industry serves in strategic decision-making and operational senior leadership positions. HOW: Continue driving the WIAA Charter commitments; having one member of an organization’s senior executive team accountable for diversity and inclusion; setting targets and publishing progress against them annually; and linking executive pay to delivery on gender diversity and inclusion. As explored through our work together this year, there is a critical role for men to play, who make up a significant proportion of senior leadership (86% of senior airline roles globally are held by men), to move from allyship to advocacy. And it is key to continue challenging and collaborating as an industry to improve together. Looking forward to 2024. Let’s continue to use our collective power to drive demonstrable change to make aviation and aerospace better for all. Heathrow, easyJet #Inclusion #Aviation #Aerospace

Celebrating Joanna Geraghty's Appointment as JetBlue's CEO JetBlue's recent announcement of Joanna Geraghty's appointment as CEO marks a historic moment as Ms. Geraghty is the first female CEO leading a U.S. airline This milestone not only reflects JetBlue's commitment to #diversity and #inclusivity but also signifies a significant step forward for women in aviation #leadership roles. Emily Wicker, President of Advancing Women in Aviation Roundtable, aptly captured the importance of Geraghty's appointment, emphasizing its significance as a triumph for women in aviation. Geraghty's journey from President and COO to CEO embodies the embodiment of JetBlue's dedication to fostering gender diversity in leadership. With Ursula Hurley already serving as the company's CFO, JetBlue is setting a powerful example for other airlines and industries. Geraghty's appointment also sheds light on the persistent challenges women face in reaching leadership positions. “Women don’t raise their hands,” she said. “There are so many, not just competent but incredibly talented women who would certainly be capable of running an airline or any other Fortune 500 company. But it happens to be the case that unless a woman feels she is 100% qualified for a role, she won't try for it. Whereas if men feel like they've got a shot, it could just be one in 10, then they'll raise their hand.” Wicker's observation about women's hesitancy to pursue leadership roles resonates deeply at #ACCELLE. Too often, women underestimate their qualifications and hold back from seizing opportunities while their male counterparts readily step forward. Recognizing and addressing these barriers is crucial to ensure more equitable representation in leadership. Organizations must cultivate inclusive environments where women feel empowered to pursue leadership roles without hesitation. Mentorship and allyship programs, leadership development initiatives, and transparent promotion processes can help bridge the gender gap in executive positions. As we celebrate Geraghty's appointment, let us recommit ourselves to breaking down barriers and fostering environments where all individuals, regardless of gender, can thrive and lead with confidence. Congratulations, Joanna Geraghty, on this well-deserved milestone! https://lnkd.in/gdYjNMid #WomenInLeadership #AviationIndustry #DiversityandInclusion #LeadershipDevelopment
