*UNSTOPPABLE* has emerged as my new superpower. Today marks my first anniversary with hubli, and I take great pride in the journey thus far. I extend my sincere gratitude to Ciaran Delaney, Mark Nunan, and the entire hubli team for their steadfast support and guidance. I also wish to acknowledge my clients, esteemed colleagues, and industry peers, as well as the connections I have cultivated through my volunteer roles with GBTA | North Carolina GBTA | Meetings & Events Committee GBTA | Chapter Presidents Council TAMS | Travel & Meeting Society and soon to be officially formed but approved GBTA South Carolina Chapter. The recent GBTA WINiT Summit & Gala served as a source of profound inspiration, challenging conventional thinking and underscoring the importance of collaboration. The event’s overarching theme—celebrating our unique strengths while actively pursuing opportunities to advance equity—resonated deeply. While substantial progress has been achieved, there remains considerable ground to cover. I am wholeheartedly committed to the mission and the path forward, as envisioned by the founders and leaders of the organization as well as GBTA | Global Business Travel Association. Let us continue to embrace learning, refine our skills, and equip ourselves to contribute with purpose, all while seeking a harmonious balance between professional pursuits and a well-rounded life. Below is a glimpse of the moments and connections that made my first #WINiT24 an experience to cherish. 😀 #womenintravel #equity #inclusionandculture

When you’re delivering DE&I training: ❌ DON’T piggyback off social awareness events or host one-off company seminars with no follow-up Not only does this have little-to-no effect on the actual behaviour of your people, but virtue signalling with awareness events can make it seem insincere. Instead: ✅ DO implement a genuine initiative that includes bias training, anonymous feedback, continuous engagement and diversity audits. This way, your people can embrace shared values while engaging in honest communication. Bias training allows you to promote more empathy across your team, making a more inclusive future for everyone. If a DE&I initiative is something you’re looking to build, we have a range of programmes and delivery methods that can help you get your team onboard.

The separation of white and black Kumuls players during meals or social activities reflects deeper social and cultural dynamics. Despite being part of the same team representing Papua New Guinea, historical divisions and societal norms may influence interactions. It's crucial for team cohesion and national representation that players mix and build relationships beyond these divides. Encouraging shared experiences can foster unity, understanding, and collaboration. Team-building activities, inclusive social events, and open discussions about these issues could help bridge the gaps. Ultimately, creating an environment where all players feel valued and connected is essential for the team's success and the spirit of unity they represent.

For Madhu, being a change leader is more than just a role. It’s a journey that brings her confidence and a true sense of belonging. But it wasn’t always this way. She’s been through those moments where she felt like she didn’t measure up or didn’t belong. We all go through that, don’t we? 💭 Madhu’s message to anyone feeling this way is simple: It’s okay. It’s part of the process, and you’ll come out stronger on the other side, just as she did. 🌱 #ChangeLeader #Empowerment #Confidence #Belonging #GrowthJourney #UandI

Thrilled to share a major milestone for our new Fairness, Inclusion & Respect (FI&R) group… Last week, we hosted our first coffee afternoon—a relaxed, open space where staff could share their thoughts on what ‘fairness,’ ‘inclusion,’ and ‘respect’ mean to them in a workplace context. The goal was to provide a judgment-free setting where people felt comfortable discussing these important themes, asking questions, and sharing personal stories. We also gathered some incredibly insightful feedback to help us shape the future strategic direction of FI&R initiatives. The event exceeded all our expectations, with a much higher turnout than anticipated. It was clear that there’s a strong demand for more opportunities like this, where people can engage, connect, and be heard on topics that shape our culture. Colleagues shared openly about their experiences, perspectives, and ideas on what a fair, inclusive, and respectful workplace looks like. People expressed how valuable it was to have a platform where they felt genuinely heard, with no fear of judgment. It was heartening to see everyone—from new joiners to senior staff—participating actively and supporting one another. This openness allowed us to dive deeper into topics that can often be sensitive but are essential for fostering mutual understanding. The positive feedback and insights we received have reinforced the importance of these discussions, showing that they’re a powerful way to build a stronger, more empathetic culture. This event has set a foundation for ongoing dialogue that we’re excited to continue. I’m genuinely proud of the FI&R advocates and all staff who showed up with open minds and hearts. Creating a respectful and inclusive environment doesn’t happen overnight, but seeing the enthusiasm and commitment from my colleagues gives me hope for the positive changes ahead. Pictured here with me is my wonderful colleague and fellow advocate, Lizzie Scott. Here’s to many more conversations and actions that bring us closer to a truly inclusive workplace! 👏 Babcock International Group Babcock - Land sector #EMTC2 #BeKind #Fairness #Inclusion #Respect

Growing up in rural Ireland, I learned firsthand that large-scale cultural changes require strong leadership. Recently, I had the privilege of sharing how this has influenced my work with diversity, inclusion, and belonging (DIB) at ISS A/S in an interview with The Inc Magazine. Just as civil rights activists were fundamental in building today’s societies and liberties we now take for granted, we need a new generation of professional pioneers to create a similar revolution in the workplace. That's why I call for more Avengers - superheroes from all levels of the business world who can drive the change from top to bottom. At ISS, empowering DIB leaders starts at the top, with our board and Group CEO leading the change. Our Group Chief People & Transformation Officer and Group Head of ESG oversee sustainability initiatives, supported by executive leaders and five global Employee Resource Groups. This structure ensures effective execution and continuous improvement, setting the standard for others to follow. While there's still work ahead, the progress made over the past 30 years is encouraging. By continuing to raise the agenda, we can push to create a more inclusive labor market, where everyone feels valued.
