“Your instinct is the most powerful tool you possess. Closely followed by kindness. Foster a strong connection to your instinct and have complete trust in its voice - no matter how quiet it may sometimes whisper. Have the courage and strength to act from the heart. Know and trust the timing of things and speak up kindly when you feel the need to - especially when you think you can’t or shouldn’t.”

 “Embrace technology and don't be scared of it. It's not only for men and it's not the evil people make it out to be. It's the literacy of the future and very soon not knowing how to use technology will be comparable to not being able to read. Technology has opened up more equality in education, in business and in allowing people from all backgrounds to be heard. Give yourself and your children a head start in making technology a healthy part of your lives and bridge the gender gap in one of the most important industries of our time.”

 “Results come when you believe in yourself. While working in Sydney for a publisher I had female co-member who supported our on-boarding team. She had keen eye for journalism and got turned down a few times for roles due to lack of experience. Working with our CFO at the time we got the business to put her on a Trainee program as the first and only member. In beginning, she had challenges with the team around credibility and experience but it wasn't long until she produced engaging content that propelled her to a full time role and now works as lead comms person in Australia.”
