"When we see a lack of representation it is often assumed a lack of talent is the problem. That is very rarely the case.." Particularly in a (arguably the) global sport like football, even at elite level. Other sectors like business, government, higher education: take note. The talent is there. You aren't finding it and promoting it. Leave it too long and we'll make our own choices to go elsewhere. The story is not over by any means, but this shows what can happen with commitment from within and without. Salute to all those involved. #inclusion #inclusionmatters #diversityandinclusion #intersectionality #diversityequityinclusion #treatpeoplewell #weknowhow #identity #identitymatters #inclusiveleadership #inclusiveleader #inclusiveculture #beinclusive #bemoreinclusive #beinclusiveaboutinclusion #belonging #changeiscoming https://lnkd.in/eEF3KYqx

Arsenal Women are making history, with an all-female team running the grounds and tech operations in the upcoming North London Derby on 3 March. This momentous occasion is a testament to the club's commitment to driving change in women's sport. The club partnered with the WSL, Women in Football and the Grounds Management Association to make this happen. It's inspiring to see women and organisations collectively come together as a driving force and taking action for the betterment of women's sport, both on and off the pitch. Change is more powerful when we come together to achieve our goals. Strength is in numbers. Power is in unity. This isn't a trend. This is the present. This is the future. Women in sport. Women in business. Women leading the way in sport, business, and society. Let's continue to support and empower each other to create a better future for all. #WomenInSport #GenderEquality #DiversityAndInclusion

🥇Meritocracy vs Mediocrity🥉 As the world comes together to celebrate the Olympic Games, we are reminded of the essence of human achievement, excellence and the relentless pursuit of greatness. The Olympic Games are not merely a showcase of athletic prowess; they embody the spirit of meritocracy – a system where individuals are rewarded based on their abilities, effort and achievements. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend in schools and communities to de-emphasise competition, with some advocating for participation trophies and awards for everyone, regardless of performance. This shift raises important questions about the impact of such practices on individuals and society as a whole. In this blog post I talk about the negative impact of downplaying competition and address common objections from those who are too uncomfortable to disappoint their children.

Sponsoring is much more meaningful and impactful.

At our recent BVRC International Volunteer Forum 2023, themed 'Making a difference through empowering others,' our panelists, including Kate Bellamy, Coordinator of Volunteer Services at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne and President of the Burwood Cricket Club, shared insights on enabling a diverse community to volunteer. Kate highlighted the positive impact of having females in executive roles on the Cricket Club committee, leading to the creation of innovative programs not previously considered in what has traditionally been a male-dominated sport. Kate also offered practical tips for fostering diversity within organisations: 1️⃣ Embrace a new perspective: Start viewing things from a different lens, both as individuals and organisations, to attract a more diverse volunteer base. 2️⃣ When inviting volunteers to join committees, start with smaller tasks, such as participating in a subcommittee, to make the commitment less overwhelming. 3️⃣ Develop an Inclusion and Diversity Action Plan outlining the vision for diversity within your organisation. Establish short, medium, and long-term goals, incorporating quick and easy wins to build momentum and attract others to what you are doing. Let's continue making a positive impact in our communities through enabling our diversity community to volunteer! Do you have any tips to share? #diversityandinclusion #communityimpact #volunteerleadership #empowerothers
