We make deliberate efforts to ensure that diversity in all its forms is an organic part of our culture and coverage every day of the year, but still like to take the time to celebrate International Women's Day and all that it stands for.
Carly Rudd, an ambassador for RizeUp, brilliant writer, designer and marketer, spoke, telling her personal story.
Though shocking at times, Carly's story was moving and thought-provoking and highlighted the important work that charities like RizeUp do.
Importantly, Carly reminded us that conversations you have at all-female or IWD events need to carry into day to day life to keep the momentum going. That is what will ultimately allow change to happen.
We also heard from one of our Agents, Cathy Richards, who shared her story of resilience. From starting Real Estate as a divorced mother-of-three looking for a way to provide for her children to where she is now 15 years later, happily married, successful in her own right and with three children all leaders at what they do around the globe.
Cathy's story is an example that women can do anything they put their mind to and encourage others in the process!
Events like this ultimately encourage us all to reflect and consider whether we are demonstrating bias at work and in life.
Today and everyday we celebrate our women, we wouldn't be the organisation we are without it!
