Skills speak louder than knowledge.....

Finding a seat at the table is a struggle many women face in their careers. Some may achieve it more easily, while others may never get the opportunity and struggle. The question remains: is the seat really what holds us back, or is it the table is actually broken? Lilly Singh's TED Talk, "A seat at the table isn't the solution for gender equity," breaks down this very issue. She points out that simply having a seat is not enough; we need to build a better table. One that is more inclusive where everyone can thrive. How we can create a more inclusive society where everyone has an equal seat at the table. #TRGUW #GenderEquity #Inclusion #WomenInLeadership #TEDTalk

Over 50% of women are not holding any #investments. This may probably be due to 47% have less than $250 left over each month after paying for necessities. Another reason could be that women are usually not so into #investing and even much less #trading. Interesting article, if you are a woman, are you investing your money? If so, why and where?

Food for thought💭 A recent survey by Investopedia and Real Simple reveals how women in the US are managing their finances, highlighting their confidence and the need for supportive, shame-free environments to discuss money matters. Key findings include: 🔵 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 63% of women's income goes to necessities, leaving many with less than $500 at the end of the month. 🔵 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Only 39% of women are currently invested, with higher rates among Gen X and those earning over $75,000 annually. 🔵 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: 67% of women have financially supported someone else, even while managing their own financial struggles. 🔵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Women are confident decision-makers and eager to learn more about saving and investing. While this study focuses on the US, these insights are relevant to us in Singapore.

I loved when Lilly Singh said, ‘build better tables.’ It resonated with me because it highlights something many organizations struggle with: genuine commitment to diversity beyond the corporate buzzwords. Why do we still struggle to understand that diversity isn’t just a goal to hit a 40-50% ratio, but a necessity for fostering innovation, growth, and success for everyone? I remember once, during a diversity event I was organizing, a senior male leader jokingly said, ‘Soon, we’ll be the minority and will need to create our own network.’ His comment irked me, and my immediate response was, ‘I wish.’ But it also reminded me of why I continue to push for diversity initiatives—because despite the progress we’ve made, there is still a long way to go. Women and underrepresented groups continue to face barriers when it comes to hiring, promotion, and leadership opportunities. Just recently, a friend and I were discussing the struggles women face in leadership roles, especially with navigating office politics at the top levels. It often feels like women, who tend to be more values-driven, are put in a position where they either choose to quit or stay where they are, avoiding the political game. This is one of the reasons the fight for diversity and inclusion is still so critical. And when someone tells me, ‘It’s difficult to find diverse candidates for this role,’ I can’t help but ask them to reflect on why that is. Are we truly creating pathways for diverse talent, or are we sticking to the same networks and methods of recruitment? Are we doing enough to develop the talent that’s already in our organizations? These are hard questions, but until we start addressing them head-on, the ‘better tables’ we aim to build will remain just a vision. Until then, let’s keep pushing ourselves and each other to create the change we need. I am proud to say we are hiring, not for metrics but because we believe in true diversity. #diversity #womenhiring #womenintechnology #womenleaders #womenengineers #diversityhiring

31 reasons why I came back to Dubai A few months ago, I shared three reasons why I left Dubai as my permanent residence. A few weeks ago, I came back and made this city my home. Over the next 31 days, I’ll share 31 reasons why I returned. Reason #8 – The Struggle to Break Through: Women at the Chief Table Getting a seat at the chief table as a woman isn’t just about skill or experience, it’s about navigating a landscape that often feels like it wasn’t designed for you. Imagine finally entering a room you have worked hard for years to be in, and no one wants you to be there and acts as if you are invisible, you are floating on a small boat between the huge waves of the ocean – that's pretty much how it feels. I’ve had to face being overlooked, even in previous roles where the other C-levels or founders didn’t want to listen to my input, let alone do something about it. It’s a challenge I know many women encounter — fighting to have their voices heard, their ideas valued, and their contributions recognized. What Helps? Overcoming Isolation: Women often find themselves as the only female voice in the room, leading to isolation. Initiatives like the Dubai Business Women Council connect women leaders across sectors, providing a network of peers, mentors, and resources to support growth and break that sense of isolation. Bias and Undervaluation: Gender bias can lead to women’s ideas being undervalued. The Gender Balance Council promotes policies that encourage equitable representation and aims to shift perceptions by celebrating women’s achievements in the workplace, ensuring their contributions are recognized and valued. Limited Access to Leadership Roles: Many women are capable of leading but aren’t given the chance. Programs like the SheTrades MENA Hub offer training, resources, and visibility to help women entrepreneurs and professionals gain the skills and connections they need to step into leadership roles and thrive in male-dominated industries. It’s been a journey, and there’s still a long way to go. But every step forward is a win, and I’m hopeful we’re paving the way for more women to break through, have a seat at a better table, and make their voices heard. #DecisiveMinds #31Reasons
