My commitment to developing and empowering women of colour and black women on their leadership journey represents only one half of the equation. Without significant changes in the corporate environments where they operate, their experiences will remain static, and progress will stall. This is why my partnership with allies is so crucial. At Lumen Consulting Group Inc., we understand that true allyship extends beyond good intentions—it demands impactful actions which are meaningful and sustainable. Our collaboration with allies targets those who are prepared to leverage their influence, resources, and positions to make a substantial difference. Through a journey of introspection, leadership development, and strategic systemic intervention, we guide these leaders to transform their perspectives and approaches, fostering truly inclusive and equitable workplaces. It's not about assigning blame—it's about building trust, broadening viewpoints, and identifying paths to enact sustainable change. Join us as we support each other in the collective mission to transform leadership and build truly equitable and inclusive organizations. #corporateleadership #csuite #leadershipcoaching #brilliantcolours #psychologicalsafety #womenofcolor

The first-ever Women at Gartner Insights Circle was a resounding success! Hats off to Marie-Christine Anton and Dilara Akol for launching this fantastic initiative! The topic of discussion was "Elevate Your Recognition Game," and we delved into strategies for positioning ourselves as women in the workplace to receive the recognition we deserve. Here are some key takeaways: 1. If you ever doubt your abilities, take actionable steps to build your confidence. 2. When someone questions your competence, push back with strategic thinking. 3. Take proactive measures to increase the likelihood of your work being recognized. Let's continue to support each other, elevate our recognition game, and inspire the next generation of women leaders. 💪🏼 #WomenatGartner #Leadership #RecognitionGame #Inspiration

Love seeing Mee Warren, CFA, CAIA, one of our Global Female Investors Network members, on the front cover of the University of Minnesota - Carlson School of Management's Women's Leadership Conference. Nice to see Marcia Page as one of the speakers too! Two of the sessions at the conference that Mee cited as most impactful were on "Failure" and "Disagreement doesn't need to be divisive." In my experience, both "failure" and "learning how to disagree without destroying relationships" are truly part of the successful journey of life and career. Where success isn't defined by an event but rather by grit, tenacity and an inclusive dialogue that enables us to live the life we all deserve. A journey made much less lonely if we can "find our people" along the way. My life's work is helping to bring together like-minded professionals, especially those who find themselves as a minority in the workplace. It's my passion and joy! #diversitymatters #networksmatter #globalfemaleinvestors Career Masterclass

Apparently people think about personal career development over holiday weekends, ie when they have time away from the day-to-day. (You know… like the time away from the day to day that the development retreat provides). This graphic is now dated with another seat spoken for. #careerdevelopment #leadership #middlemarket

A lesson about fear from a wise woman. Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. Fear is not going to go away until you do something about it. Fear is there to teach you. Fear is there to let you know that something is worth it. Only when we are no longer afraid, do we begin to live. FEAR: Face Everything And Rise!

Day 2 includes hearing from & networking with some incredible women at the Raymond James Women's Leadership Summit.
