Chief Executive Women’s (CEW) Dinner

September 10, 2009 at 9:58 pm Leave a comment

Last night I attended the CEW dinner at the Westin.  About 800 people attended including probably 10% men.  Naseema Sparks spoke of the CEW and it work “women leaders enabling women leaders” and how much we need to support women in Australia to get closer to inclusive workplaces.  Gail Kelly spoke about leadership.  I loved her comment you want the right people on the bus going in the right direction.  Her other key take out for me was being present in whatever you are doing.  If you are with family be with them totally, if you are at work do that….. This focus bring productivity and success.  In my work through Xplore for Success I often experience women (and men) who spend time at work wishing they were elsewhere and time at home thinking about work.  To be ‘present’ is not always easy but the reward great.
