Small, consistent steps add to big things. Personally, we like to follow the 1% rule to progress our personal and professional goals: if you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done 💪🏽 (alternatively, if you get 1 percent worse each day for one year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero 😮) On the days that you can't give 100%, or even 10% just remember that 1% daily will make all the difference 💜 Artwork via: @khiascanvas #1percentclub #smallsteps #wisewordsoftheday #weeklynewsletter #glowreel

Last night, Glowreel had the pleasure of attending Asian Leadership Project's ‘In Conversation’ Series, hosted by Julie Chai, featuring Catherine Fox AM & Vivienne Nguyen AM. The series focuses on leadership, culture and the bamboo ceiling. Some key points that we took away from last night: 1) Data sets are important. We know that companies set a target on revenue and profit because they think that is important. If a company values cultural diversity, why can’t they set a target and benchmark themselves against that? 2) People don’t want to set targets as they don’t want to admit that they have inherent biases. 3) Cultivating a diverse network is important as it allows you to gather different opinions and ways of working. 4) A good ally doesn’t just kick the door open, they keep the door open so that something substantial actually results from that connection / opportunity. Progress is happening but it’s not happening fast enough in Australia, especially for women of colour. It can be disheartening at times to hear that progress isn’t where you want it to be. We get it!
