PR has a PR problem. Public relations can't be effectively delivered to its full potential without better people representation. This merry PRCA band of advocates, activists and people-who-think-things-should-be-better-by-now, marshalled by the indomitable Ishtar Schneider, won't fix it on our own, and make no pretence of trying to do so. That does nothing to take way from the privilege it is to work together and see how far we can carry the ball forward between us, with as much support as we can muster across the sector. Keep your eyes peeled for more to come and if you have ideas or input for any of our core workstreams, please get in touch 🙏 🤝 Gender 🤝 Social Mobility 🤝 Neurodiversity/Mental Health 🤝 Disability 🤝 Age/Multigenerational Workforce 🤝 LGBTQIA+

👭🏾🧑🤝🧑👬🏽The thing about making real change is you can't do it alone. I'm so humbled to step into this role, taking up the mantle from Sudha Singh FPRCA Chart.PR, but I'm most excited to be welcoming this group of change-makers who bring a wealth of professional and lived experience to the table - and who also have a track record of rolling up their sleeves and getting things done. 💪💥 We know the comms industry still doesn't reflect the diverse society we live in and it's simply not good enough. As someone who has loved PR from day dot - opening this dynamic career path to all and ensuring people from any walk of life can thrive once here is is no easy feat - but surely one worth pursuing. Looking forward to tackling it together. 👀 You can also read more here about our aims if you fancy: https://lnkd.in/ekEFjYWk 📧 And if you know of anyone doing great work already that can be amplified or would like to partner with us yourself - please do reach out.

I had the best time learning from women who have established themselves in their careers and are willing to share their knowledge. It was truly enlightening, and I feel more grounded in advancing my career in public affairs. Thank you to Women in Public Affairs (WiPA) for hosting an incredible event and bringing us together. Key takeaways: 📈 Everyone has imposter syndrome, so don't worry if your career path looks different from someone else’s in a position you aspire to. 📝 Managing your manager's and co-workers' time and expectations when working on projects together helps everyone get ahead. 🤝 When networking, focus 80% on personal topics and 20% on work to develop deeper relationships.

Happy International Women's Day! Check out the below example of how one brand/organization is finally doing things differently so they can give the women in their profession the recognition they deserve. There's still a long way to go, but it's a start!

We usually don't post about awards. It hasn't, historically, been our style. Instead, our team celebrates amongst ourselves. We call the client to give them the good news. A statuette is carefully placed on a shelf in our office. However, today marks a special exception. We're excited to share that not one, but two of our projects have been nominated for the Anthem Awards, a festival recognizing mission-driven work. These projects share a common thread: they are solutions-focused and elevate the voices of individuals and organizations we deeply believe in. And each project serves as a reminder of the privilege I have in working with the talented team at Cultivator Content Labs. Below are the links where you can watch and, if moved, vote for them in their respective categories, helping bring their powerful messages to a broader audience.

Do you champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in your workplace? Nominate your company for one of the prestigious DEI awards at Women In Travel CIC awards in June!
