When you have Christmas COVID and you’re in/out of sleep, I reckon you have full permission to ditch all dietary requirements. 😈 If it makes you feel a wee bit better, just do it. There are no artificial colours after all… 😆🤒🤧 #IMHO #NotMedicalAdvice #FODMAP #PinkIsTheBest

An excellent Essential Director Update this past week with the Australian Institute of Company Directors: discussions centred on taking action toward Reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, diversity and inclusion, ESG, culture, ways of working, cybersecurity, climate change and the digital transformation.
Favourite quotes included:
"Stop glorification of the board"
"Meet the people"
"Do better"
"Set realistic goals"

‘Regardless of our industry or field, let’s resist the urge to say, “It doesn’t happen here.” Instead of steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that our workplace is already as equitable as it can be, let’s work hard to make it even better.’ Spot on Karen Catlin.

We need to listen with curiosity, care and empathy, unlearn and learn anew, and importantly enact active allyship and systemic change.

Today is #LGBTQSTEMday. The #STEM sector needs to action inclusive systemic changes to be much more welcoming. Organisations need to embrace diversity and shift the culture. Individuals need to do this too. 🌈💜🏳️‍🌈

Seven (7) Ways to Practice Active Allyship

We don’t experience inclusion through strategies and roadmaps. We experience it through our day-to-day interactions with our colleagues — over lunch, by the coffee machine, during meetings.

💫 Deep curiosity
💫 Honest introspection
💫 Humble acknowledgement
💫 Empathetic engagement
💫 Authentic conversations
💫 Vulnerable interactions
💫 Courageous responsibilities
