RARE in-person speaking event coming up! About 15 years ago, a woman I worked with made compelling arguments about why attending International Women's Day (IWD) events was so important; which is a story for another day... Since then I've made a point of being present for at least one IWD each year. This year, I'm honoured to be one of the speakers at the Town of Gananoque's "Empowering Women in a DigitALL Age" IWD event. I'll be sharing success stories of women entrepreneurs who live and work in Canada. Because when you experience stories of people you can relate to, then you can imagine navigating your own path to success. The vast majority of my speaking gigs are delivered online, and limited to specific groups of people. While I rarely speak in public, I thoroughly enjoy the experience! Especially when people ask questions. I'm looking forward to returning to the beautiful and welcoming town of Gananoque, to share some of what I know, while learning from the fabulous speakers and guests. The Eventbrite link for this free 3.5 hour event will be in the comments! ------------------- A bit about me - I share tactics and strategies employers may choose to implement to create more IDEAL jobs. On the flip side, I love helping you create and discover your ideal jobs, by teaching strategies and tactics that you can use over, and over, and over, again. I invite you to start a Thought Partner chat, follow the link in my profile to book a virtual 30 minute chat or send me a direct message here. #ShareLearnThrive – when we share what we know, and learn from each other, we can all find ways to thrive.

Every day is an opportunity to celebrate the women around you. But have you considered the impacts of those who are not immediately in your circle? Your family, your friends or otherwise? The contributions of women decades before you that paved the way to the rights we enjoy to this very day? Maybe you have, or maybe you haven’t. Which is why today, we take the time to remember the years fighting for equality, the trials and tribulations across the centuries and ultimately the way by which we still, to this day - fight for our right to be women in varying aspects of the world. Much like every other day here at HMC, we take the time to celebrate and support the women who make up the fabric of our everyday lives. However, we also use this opportunity to remember those who may not. 👩 So, join us in remembering that today celebrates everything we have achieved, and what we have yet to overcome; including those who came before us and paved the way to the rights we enjoy today. Happy International Women’s Day! 🎉 [Image description: A blue background with five women diagonally across the bottom border. The top border is the HMC logo and floral pattern, and the text on the image says: “Every day is an opportunity to celebrate the women around you. But today is a reminder to celebrate the contributions of women everywhere, and recognise the inequalities that still exist for many women around the world today.” ] #HeyMelComms #IWD2024 #IWD #InternationalWomensDay

There is so much power in marching and protesting. And hail to all the women and people still protesting for women's rights. I've had alot of conversations with friends and colleagues over the past few months particularly, questioning the value and purpose of protests. I've engaged in countless protests in my years, for women's rights in particular abortion rights; against violence against women; for Indigenous rights and reconciliation; for refugees and asylum seekers; for Palestine even back when it wasn't being decimated; against the wars in Darfur, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine; for LGBTIQ+ rights and marriage equality; for racial equality; against Islamophobia; and many more. Here's what I think about protests: 1. Protesting is a fundamental human right. And exercising that right should be promoted, protected, celebrated. 2. It is loud. It disrupts. And as it should. Change only comes from challenging the status quo and shaking is out of the comfort of everyday life. 3. It questions authority, power, and control - who has control, over whom, and for what purpose and end. 4. It keeps an issue on the agenda, it keeps people talking, it keeps it in sight and not out of mind. 5. It gives a sense of control in a world where the average person can feel helpless about what to do to impact social change. 6. It is solidarity in action. One voice, one protester may be ignored. But when it is in the millions, it can show those oppressed that they are not alone, that there are millions of people thinking about them, and lending their voice, and feet, to call for action. And it can show the oppressor/s that they do not represent. 7. And in a year where there are the most elections occurring globally, protests and protesting will count more than ever. Hail to all the feminists protesting. Hail to the women demanding equal rights, the right to abortions, and an end to violence against women. Hail to all the people protesting the wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, DRC. Often the same people because there is no peace without women.
