Creating a Capable, Diverse Talent Pipeline

Happy International Women's Day!
|

In honor of International Week of Women, we have shared three features this week:
* Women Behind the Women
This week, GlobalMindED leaders have participated in or attended the RSA Cyber Security Conference in San Francisco, SXSWedu in Austin, Women Powering Change in Denver, the Women's Nobel Laureate Initiative and the Women for Social Impact event at the United Nations. It was an honor to spend time with four out of the seven women Nobel Laureates who courageously advanced the cause of women and women's rights in some of the most oppressive parts of the world - Jody Williams (USA),
Shirin Ebadi (Iran), Leymah Gbowee (Liberia), Tawakkol Karman (Yemen).
At each of these events, we realize the importance of lifting up women from all backgrounds through the women who support women, the women who support men and the men who go to bat for women. Working through our differences, taking a bold stand for gender equality, being able to step out courageously to advocate for women at all levels of contribution, we all need each other to advance opportunity for women. As we bring this week to a close for International Week of Women and celebrate all women today, think of the women in your life who have done the most for you personally and professionally. Take the time to write them a thank you note, make a phone call or send an email to share the ways in which that these women have influenced the leader you've become. As Shirley Chisolm said, "if you aren't invited to the table, bring a folding chair." Let's generously resource and support all women as we move in to a new world order where women lead side by side with men and we all lift each other to the highest level of impact, stewardship, contribution and collaboration. Let's create a table where all have a seat, a voice, ears to listen respectfully and the hearts to courageously enact collective outcomes for the bold, inclusive way forward.

Alicia Jessip, Regional Inclusion & Diversity Manager at TEKsystems
When I think of the ultimate action of Women supporting Women I think of none other than trailblazer, Karen Worstell. Karen was a thought leading panelist for the Women In Tech Denver MeetUp I founded. We are a MeetUp of over 800 with the goal to educate, empower, and build relationships along the theme of technology. Being an up and coming professional in my career, Karen understands how important access is for someone in my tenure status. She turned around and then asked me to join one of her panels at the RSA conference in San Francisco. We had an incredible discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the talent sector and the opportunity to connect and build relationships was nothing short of amazing. Women supporting women is exactly this: The reciprocity of getting us to the table to thrive and to shine.

Rocío Pérez, President & CEO at Inventiva Consulting and Author of
Unstoppable
Rosemary Rodriguez is one of the most inspirational women in my life. Her relentless support to other women and community members has inspired me to become a more extraordinary leader. She is a true pillar in our community that has paved the way for generations to follow. Everyone should have the privilege to have a Rosemary in their life. Rosemary held me to a high standard when I was 26. Now at 43, I've surpassed what I could have imagined at the time without someone like Rosemary as my champion. It is now my mission to be for others what Rosemary has been for me. She helped make me "Unstoppable" and my goal is to provide others with that same personal wherewithal that I was given through this powerful mentor.

Dr. Bena Kallick, Co-Founder of the Institute for Habits of Mind
I cherish my relationship with Heidi Hayes Jacobs. We have been colleagues and good friends for over 20 years. Our work has flourished as we support and inspire one another and we have traveled tougher to share our work in nearly every corner of the world. Not only do we collaborate with each other, we also continue to grow teams of consultants who bring a rich set of perspectives to our work. Heidi and I each co-authored books with two much younger educators and the work continues to grow from the wisdom of our experiences combined with the fresh energy of the next generation of powerful women. May all women everywhere find the support and nourishment from each other that we have found in our ever-present relationship of growth and fulfillment.

Desiree Matel-Anderson, Chief Wrangler at the Field Innovation Team
Desiree Matel-Anderson is Chief Wrangler at the Field Innovation Team. Her story starts with help from another woman, Jeanee, who asked (Desi)ree to "join the team" to help create an emergency management division after a tragic active shooter incident on campus. Today, 8% of Emergency Management directors are women, it was much smaller a decade ago. Desi rose to be the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency's Chief Innovation Advisor. There, she deployed innovation teams into disasters from Hurricane Sandy to the Boston Marathon bombing. Desi then became Chief Wrangler, deploying teams to Nepal earthquakes, Northern Spain wildfires, the Syrian refugee crisis and hurricanes from the Gulf of Mexico. To pay Jeanee's kindness forward, Desi empowers women disaster survivors to create cutting-edge solutions and build a better world.

Leslie Short, President & CEO at The Cavu Group
If I have to select one woman that inspired me that would be my mother. She taught me how to be a lady and then how to be a woman. As I continue to age, I realize how lucky I am to have someone that taught me those things early in life and how many women had to learn life lessons later in life.
