I’m excited to share this very inspiring story about Kathrine Switzer and her pursuit to create success on her terms. For those who don’t know who she is, she is the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon, despite being explicitly unwelcome. Kathrine Switzer: A Run for Equality 🏃♀️💨 Breaking Barriers: In 1967, Kathrine entered the Boston Marathon under the initials "K.V. Switzer" to conceal her gender. During the race, an official tried to physically stop her, but Kathrine kept going, determined to finish what she started. Empowering Change: Kathrine’s courage not only helped her finish the race but also paved the way for women in sports. Her story is a testament to challenging the status quo and advocating for equality and respect across all fields. Why It Matters 💡 Empowerment Through Action: Kathrine’s story teaches us that real change begins with the courage to defy limitations imposed by others. It’s about moving forward, no matter who says you can’t. Reflect & Engage 🌟 Your Voice: Think about a time when you were told you couldn’t do something. How did you respond?

As a woman, I may actually find myself on relatively equal ground but as a woman of colour, I am many many steps behind."(Respondent) Access My Interim Report: https://bit.ly/4aQbVcg #AdvancingWomeninSport #WomenInSport

Our next Webinar for the topic "She Leads" - inspiring women in leadership positions in sports.

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
