Deux jours. 15 individus. 45 minutes par projet. Une immersion dans l’univers du pour accompagner les étudiants autour du dans le cadre d’un projet qu’ils développent pour le nouveau QG de QoQa.

Deux jours de rencontres, d'écoute, et d’échanges pour souligner l’importance d’une stratégie narrative, d’une promesse cohérente, d’une raison d’être, d’un fil rouge, et parfois, du besoin et défis de simplifier. Less is more, as they say.

15 projets et personnes très singulières, mais reliées par cette envie, même besoin, de rassembler et de se reconnecter (et pas forcément dans le sens digital), mais à soi, à autrui, à la nature. De se nourrir d’humanité et de partage.

Ils m’ont fait voyager dans des univers bien différents. Cela m’a mis l’eau à la bouche. Merci et je leur souhaite le meilleur pour la suite de leurs histoires…

People need role models. For inspiration. For direction. For self-confidence. It’s been said before, but representation matters.

Having and seeing women of all kinds take on a multitude of different roles, in all industries, matters. Seeing other women succeed at things we are curious or passionate about, gives us a path to follow, a belief we can do and be that too, and a drive to do it.

I truly believe it’s an exciting time where we are seeing more diverse and positive role models than ever before. Let’s celebrate that! Today on , but especially every.other.darn.day!

Because we all can choose. We can choose to perpetuate gendered stereotypes and norms. Or we can choose to challenge. To lead. To set the tone. One word, image, voice, woman, at a time.

We can choose not just what we say or who we show, but how we say it, and how we show them, where and when. It’s about the story we’re telling. Not solely the number of women in it or not.

So, what story do you want to tell? And who’s in it?

True story.
Support small and local businesses. From artists to artisans, bakers to makers, freelancers to independent service providers.
Your love, likes, comments and share can bring a smile. Your order or purchase can trigger the Macarena.
Think about it next time you spend.

Words matter. That includes pronouns, which - whether we think about it or not - are powerful affirmations of our gender identity.
If you are committed to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion in your team or organisation, don't make assumptions about a person's gender identity based on their appearance. Ask. Use the correct pronouns. And be a good ally by listing your pronouns in your bio or email signature to normalise the practice.
It’s a detail, but details make the difference. And this one communicates an inclusive environment and celebrates peoples multiple, intersecting identities.

NB communication turned one last week! And while not quite a diamond nor rolling in diamonds, this quote speaks to me as I reflect on the past year of being a fully-fledged independent.
•
A year of being entirely self-reliant and self-sufficient.
A year of navigating stormy waters, moving clouds, and glimpsing bright rainbows.
A year of facing fear in the face and remaining resilient despite the self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
•
Of saying ‘fcuk it!’ and ‘why not?’
Of crying and brimming with excitement.
Of being uncomfortable and yet at ‘home’.
•
A year of knowing that I am exactly where I should be, even if I’m not entirely sure of where I am going.
•
Merci for following, caring, trusting, supporting. I look forward to writing chapter two of this wonderful adventure.

Apply a gender lens to your decision-making and your communication.
This means take into account the different ways that different genders may experience the results of your decision and your communication.
By doing this, you create the conditions for greater inclusion and may uncover new opportunities i.e. it’s good practice, and good for business.
NB: adopt a lens of inclusion for any types of diversity.

Nota Bene:
"Alternating between solo thinking and time in groups proves the most effective way to develop the most creative thoughts. Have a brainstorming meeting with colleagues, get together for coffee with a friend, or do problem solving with a consultant. Two or more brains can work better than one. The process of talking through ideas can stimulate new thoughts and challenge your thinking."

Take a walk, take a nap, or have a snack.

A bit of inspiration in this era of . Of confinement and gradual deconfinement. Of old ways versus new ways.

Because there is only so much you can control. So rather than angst on what is beyond your control, focus on what you can. Choose your attitude, your perception and your response to challenging situations.

NB: there are silver linings to every situation, and especially to every crisis.

So what can you find for yourself and your organisation?

a golden trim. a marbled edge. a lake laced in yellow dust. spring has bloomed.
nature is an extraordinary source of inspiration. an impromptu burst of creativity. a lesson in communication and cohabitation.
take notice of the little things. the natural wonders. and let your mind wander.
