Dynamic Operations specialist excelling in administrative support and efficiency optimization. Trained Full Spectrum Doula.
It is Friday, July 12th 2024. Over a year after being terminated, for speaking up against a toxic work environment. My green banner is still flying high, despite the negative wrap it gets. I am Open to Work, I am open to contribute my 2 decades worth of skill to a collaborative team, and am looking for something long term, and passion aligned. Outside of my administrative prowess, operational knowledge, and project management skills, I am also a Doula, I am also a grieving care giver, and a special needs parent. My passions all point to equality in care, reproductive justice, inclusion, and defeating racism in every way honestly because, I have lived a life of inequality of care, reproductive injustice and mistreatment and blatant and covert racism, so I know it's all real and not just hashtags. I have been advised to remove my passion work from my resume and Linkedin account and focus on my functional skills. However, I think my passions are my skills. At the ripe old age of 38, I honestly have no desire to work in any space that doesn't allow all of me. I am sure that could be limiting my job search, but I don't care. I want to wake up everyday and know that my work is making a change for marginalized communities. I want to see the difference my work makes for future generations. If that limits me, I am ok with that. #opentowork #nonprofitoperations #operationsspecialist #fullspectrumdoula #postpartumdoula #birthjustice #reproductivejustice #inclusion #equity #equalrights #equalityincare

As someone deeply invested in the benefits of an age-diverse workplace, I’ve seen firsthand how it fosters innovation and growth. The varied perspectives and experiences brought by an age-diverse team can significantly enhance problem-solving and creativity. However, many companies still overlook the advantages of a more age-diverse team. If you haven't yet considered the value that older employees can bring, I encourage you to explore this potential. If you’re passionate about age diversity, I’d love to connect and discuss. Together, we can foster more inclusive and innovative workplaces O50C #AgeDiversity #PersonalInsight #Advocacy #O50C

What a read! Thanks for sharing 💎Kim Regis! Concepts and frameworks that apply and explain lived experiences are like oxygen to nearly lifeless, “barely making it” individuals that struggle to breathe as they navigate these workplace dynamics.

Founder at Educación Diversa, Environmental Sustainability in Fed Government. WWDACT PAC & ACT Disability ref group 2024. ACT Chief Minister Inclusion award winner, ACT Woman of the year nominee 2022, 2023 & 2024
🎨🌍 Something you may not know about me! 🌍 🎨In my spare time, I have the privilege of founding and serving as the CEO of a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing art education in diverse topics. At our core, we're passionate about promoting human rights, advocating for sexual and reproductive health, and striving for the elimination of violence through peaceful conflict resolution. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to harness the transformative power and accessibility of art to educate, inspire, and empower individuals from all different countries and our focus is making our activities accessible so people, especially from underdeveloped and developing countries can access them. Through our innovative projects, campaigns, learning resources and research, we aim to provide accessible art activities that generate meaningful conversations, foster empathy, and drive positive change in our communities with the aim to make them inclusive. We believe that art is not only a form of self-expression but also a catalyst for social progress, healing from trauma or neglect and of course a lot of fun! Whilst this year we are focussed on developing and deploying our learning platform, next year we will commence offering workshops, seminars, and community projects, where people can explore complex issues, challenge stereotypes, and envision a more inclusive and equitable world. But we can't do it alone. We're always on the lookout for passionate volunteers and talented artists to join our community of humanitarians. Whether you're an experienced educator, project officer or researcher, a budding artist, or simply someone who shares our values, there's a place for you in our organisation. If you're interested in getting involved, please reach out to us through LinkedIn or visit our website to learn more about our work and how you can make a difference. And don't forget to follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram to stay up to date with our latest projects, events, and initiatives. Together, let's use art as a force for good and create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.#educaciondiversa #ArtForChange #HumanRights #SocialJustice #GetInvolved #FollowUs #volunteer #artist #project #pr #marketing

"I’m 7 months pregnant and was put in a performance improvement plan because I’m too emotional… I lead our nonprofit’s marketing team.".. Really?... This was a post on a women's career network. What employer will subject a pregnant women to this? During women's history month let's not forget we are far from any kind of equality. There are far too many women who face discrimination pre any pregnancy (in case they might have children, I used to be asked this gem), those who face discrimination upon returning (sorry but no bonus, no merit, no commissions etc) and then the discrimination of perceived commitment (i.e are you really working or just raising your kids when you work at home). HR leaders, CEOs, if you want to have true diversity check your policies and culture to make sure you are really supporting women in the workplace. Western societies are facing demographic decline. It is in everyone's interest to support mums to be and mothers.

A world that works for working women! I help DEI specialists increase engagement, performance and innovation by developing women in an impactful way.
Working mothers remain ambitious and committed, despite what the motherhood penalty leads people to think. As Jackie* says; “That’s why we’re such great employees. We will move heaven and earth to get stuff delivered by a deadline.” Like many strong performers, Jackie finds plenty of non-promotable tasks get sent her way. In fact, women generally volunteer more, get asked more, and are more likely to say yes to those tasks that keep you busy but don’t necessarily advance your career. Her advice? "If you think your boss is giving you something that wouldn’t be expected of other people, think strategically about whether this is going to be better for your career.” To read the rest of Jackie's story, click here: https://lnkd.in/gWXsySNR

#Social_Impact_Appreciation_My_Love. Today, I had a heartfelt conversation with my baby Sister; a grown woman by rite, academic prowess (#Go_Pack), marriage, motherhood, entrepreneurial prudence and success. She asked that I incorporate the following position I paraphrase into future advocacy campaigns going forward and I will in her honor. #MLCDC: Enhanced Value Proposition, A Work in Progress, Now. Supporting women's options and equity involves recognizing and valuing the multifaceted roles they play. This includes acknowledging the invaluable contributions of stay-at-home Moms in both the family and the workforce, advocating for policies that address their historic roles in child and senior care while creating pathways to sustainable career opportunities. #Sisterly_Love & #Brotherly_Appreciation. Furthermore, it's essential to empower women as entrepreneurs, wives, and mothers, allowing them to thrive in all aspects of their lives while contributing to the strength and resilience of families, communities, and nations. Care of: Asia Sternstein with Love.

Technology Executive | I help generating dramatic revenue growth in the tech, retail, and entertainment industry by leading Machine Learning, AI, and Data Science driven Digital Transformation.
This is an important initiative to remember and share with our friends! Despite advancements in parental leave policies, mothers often disproportionately bear the career setbacks following extended absences, such as maternity leave. A brief pause can significantly impact one's professional trajectory, exacerbating the struggle to catch up in an environment that evolves by the minute. Recognizing this, Her Allies has launched "Her Re-Launch," a six-month career strategy program tailored specifically for women. This initiative aims to bridge the gap, equipping women with the tools, confidence, and support needed to overcome biases, navigate rapid changes in skill requirements, and combat imposter syndrome. It's a crucial step toward fostering a more inclusive and supportive professional landscape and a reminder of the need for more programs that empower women to successfully re-integrate into their careers and regain lost momentum.
