I had an interesting afternoon, with a broad variety of fellow entrepreneurial women. Thank you to His Britannic Majesty’s Ambassador Emma Hopkins OBE, for the invitation. I know. I’m a bit late to post about International Women’s Day. But nonetheless, I want to make a post about it 😆 Reflecting on whether my gender inherently enhances my entrepreneurial skills leads me to a, somewhat, nuanced conclusion: it doesn't, not directly. With each passing year, I gain a deeper understanding of the complex dimensions of being a woman in business. In my youth, the realization was a source of frustration. I was a bit dismayed that among the myriad intriguing topics, my gender seemed to be a focal point of interest 🙃 However, my perspective has evolved (as one does in life). I now acknowledge the significance of certain discussions surrounding gender, recognizing their importance while also discerning their relevance to my personal and professional growth. The concept of "the sister wound" was a real dealbreaker to me, since it’s shedding light on the often competitive dynamics among women, rather than fostering a sense of “togetherness” and resourcefulness. The corporate world is gradually recognizing the value of women, sparking important conversations. Yet, I find myself anticipating a shift in dialogue towards how women can support and uplift one another.. It's not solely the responsibility of legislation or men to bridge gender disparities; we, as women, also have a substantial role to play. 1. Start with introspection and healing from within to change the competitive narrative. 2. If you're in a leadership position, cultivate an environment that acknowledges and actively addresses these gender dynamics. 3. Actively mentor and support other women's professional advancement, sharing insights and opening doors. 4. While female-centric networks can be valuable, also engage in broader professional circles where “power” and opportunities lie. The reason why the above mentioned “advices” are important to me is, that I truly love, how much we - as humans - can change ourselves. And there’s much to do from within also ♥️ #dkbiz #dkmedier #dkpol #femalefounder #thesisterwound #søstersåret

🌟 Celebrating the Strength of Women: It Begins with a Strong Network! 🌟 As we leave Women's History Month behind us, I'm reminded of a profound truth: behind every strong woman, there is a network of support that propels her forward. And often, this network begins right at home, with her own children. In a world where women juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, from career pursuits to nurturing their families, the strength of their network can make all the difference. As a mother myself, I've experienced firsthand the invaluable support and encouragement that my children provide. From cheering me on during challenging moments to lending a helping hand with household chores, my kids have been an unwavering source of strength. Their belief in my capabilities and their willingness to stand by my side through thick and thin have been nothing short of empowering. But the power of this network extends beyond the confines of our home. It encompasses friends who offer words of wisdom, colleagues who champion our professional growth, mentors who guide our journey, and countless others who uplift and inspire us along the way. As we celebrate the achievements of women around the globe, let's not forget to acknowledge the networks that stand behind them. Let's recognize the role of our children, our families, and our communities in fueling our success and shaping our resilience. To all the strong women out there: remember that you are never alone! Your network, starting with your own kids, stands as a pillar of strength, ready to lift you up and help you soar. Together, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness. #WomensHistoryMonth #StrengthInNetworks #Empowerment #SupportSystem #CelebrateWomen

Here’s a story of strength inherited, not opted. Raised among formidable women - entrepreneurs, educators, trailblazers - witnessing firsthand the power of non-traditional roles. But entering the business world, the scenery shifts; it’s a terrain where conformity seems the only route to acceptance. Yet, there's a realization: adopting a 'bloke's persona, fitting in through mimicry and shared jokes, isn’t a natural skin. It’s a survival tactic in a landscape dotted with expectations and preconceived notions. This isn’t just personal evolution; it’s a clarion call for change. Because when the authenticity feels like a rebellion, it signals a need to rewrite norms. The journey from adapting to stand out to standing up to adapt is profound. It underscores the importance of true-to-self leadership, of not just fitting into spaces but expanding them. Join the movement where advocating for equality is more than a pursuit; it's a legacy. 🌍✨ #EqualityAdvocacy #TrueLeadership #BreakingMolds

Equality is for life. My daughter's school Stamford Endowed Schools went co-ed this year. There was much debate on the sidelines of the hockey pitch whether this would be better or worse for the girls. As someone who went to Stamford when it was all girls, I fully support the change. The world is co-ed: it is highly unlikely your daughter will go to an all-female university or work in an all-female business. If we want to bring a generation of strong female business leaders into this world, they have to be comfortable alongside men and see themselves as equals. #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness #femaleentrepreneurs #femalefounder #equality #womenleaders

🌟 Happy Juneteenth to all the amazing women entrepreneurs and small business owners out there! 🌟 Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and progress.
