Celebrating International Women’s Day and the 2023 theme, #EmbraceEquity, Vanessa shares the steps in her career that led her to create WeAreTheCity – which helps progress female careers.
Suggesting ways that can best advance gender balance and inclusion at work, Vanessa recommends considering an equity (rather than equality) model and a focus on sponsorship - describing what best practice sponsorship looks like.
Vanessa shares ideas on how to be ‘intrapreneurial’, how to start and grow an area of work that you feel passionate about – turning it from ‘a side of the desk’ project to an embedded part of your role, highlighting collaboration and self-belief as two important ingredients.
