So this just happened… why it’s wonderful;

“Oh $h!t, an abundance of coffee” was literally my first thought, followed by a little giggle I might add.
As a lifelong coffee drinker I have done this exact thing, either forgetting the cup or worse the whole 12 cup carafe, only to result in coffee flowing everywhere!! And each time in the past, my tired, usually overwhelmed, perfectionist brain would freak the eff out; panic and berate myself for being so; insert word of the day here - stupid, clumsy, messy, forgetful, etc. More than once, im sure it has literally ruined my day.
Yes, today is Saturday and I’m not in any particular rush to get somewhere, that being said I have been doing a ton of self work over the years on so many things, including how we talk to ourselves. And the fact that I didn’t beat myself up at first sight of this shows me how much my thinking has shifted, and how grateful I am for that!!
If you’ve read this far I hope that it inspires you to check in with your own self talk and learn to be kinder to the only person who will be with you through it all - YOU!!

I'm curious about your experiences as and with women in construction and other male dominated industries? (Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you would rather not comment publicly)

Addressing inclusivity solely as a measure of gender quotas is not effective. For companies and individuals to maximize their potential the conversation must go deeper. Discussions on the Good, Bad and Ugly can identify barriers and solutions to inclusivity issues by shedding light on the real issues that take place.
Check out my latest blog post in the series on Breaking Barriers; Building an Inclusive Future.

Could simply becoming "Persons" in the workplace be the missing link in successfully addressing diversity, equity and inclusion in your organization?

October 18th marked Persons Day in Canada, marking 94 years since the historic decision to include women in the legal definition of “persons” was handed down by Canada’s highest court of appeal.
