Know YourselfRecently, I was honored to receive the ‘Know Yourself Award’ during WICT’s PowerBrokers Awards hosted by the Washington DC/Baltimore Chapter of the organization. It was a particularly special recognition because it spoke to the values I hold dear and which I live every day. For me ‘knowing yourself’ is about authenticity and living in your truth; ‘knowing yourself’ is about celebrating all parts of yourself and bringing them with you into the workplace every day. ‘Knowing yourself’ is about realizing you are more than just one thing and embracing the sum of all your parts. |

Taking it on as an industry would seem nearly impossible. However, our industry has been tracking D&I metrics consistently for over 10 years. Many companies have tracked this type of information, but it is unique that one industry comes together to track this data and focus on developing metrics-driven objectives and solutions. |
