🌟 MAIDEN: A Captivating Journey of Leadership and Perseverance 🌊 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧, and it's truly inspiring! This 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 is a testament to standing firm in 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐬, having 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡, and 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 with unmatched determination. Tracy Edwards' journey is nothing short of remarkable - showcasing 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 and 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. I deeply admire individuals who challenge the status quo, confronting injustice and inequality head-on. Maiden, rocking the sailing world in the late '80s, sheds light on the disadvantaged position of women. Tracy's quest to participate in the world's toughest sailing race with an all-women team is a powerful narrative of sailing, resilience, equality, inclusion, 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, and female 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩. It's a stirring reminder that when we stand up for something greater, we can create waves of change. Kudos to Tracy Edwards and her team for setting an example for us all. 🌐⛵ #MaidenDocumentary #LeadershipJourney #Inspiration #EqualityAtSea

The Champions of Change Property Group have worked together since 2015 to advance gender equality in the historically  male-dominated industry.   With leadership and support from Property Council of Australia, the Group has focused on building a pipeline of women leaders and ensuring women have equal access to the critical roles and experiences on the pathway to leadership.   Creating workplace cultures where all people can thrive has also been essential. For example, Members have introduced strategies to raise the profile of women leaders in the sector, improve men’s uptake of parental leave, reinforce their commitment to eradicating sexual harassment in the workplace,  while embedding approaches to respond to employees who are or may be impacted by domestic and family violence.    The Group has also worked to raise the awareness of the impact of domestic and family violence in our communities.   Collaboration and coordination is at the heart of their approach and will underpin sustainable change on gender equality in the sector.   https://lnkd.in/g4nC_bvR   Property Council of Australia Mike Zorbas Annika Freyer Phil Rowland Lisa Pusey   #Property #2023ImpactReport #GenderPayGap #GPG #GenderEquality #WomeninLeadership #GenderBalance

The halfway mark. With 7 years to go to fulfill the 2030 Agenda, only 15% of the SDGs targets are on track. Therefore, unyielding, uncompromising action on poverty, inequality, hunger, disease, conflict, and climate is more urgent than ever before. The world is running out of time. A little less talk and a lot more action! NL CT-Habitats 4 all, ever, on Earth & beyond 🌎 🚀 #sdgs2030 #sdg18 #climatecrisis #circulardesign

Spent two days last week at the Women in STEMM conference, organised by the Women Leaders Institute, with some amazing colleagues from the Suburban Rail Loop, including Christel Ponce. We heard from a number of inspirational women leaders on ways we can encourage girls to embark in a STEMM career, how to best support women in STEMM, and effective strategies to develop a pipeline of women leaders in this industry. My main take away: Be proactive. Whether advocating for yourself or others, change doesn't just magically happen. You have to be the catalyst, and you can make great things happen.
