The idea of challenging itinerant concepts is everywhere! Just last night Brad and I were debating whether female cyclists wear bib shorts because they're the most comfortable option or because they're the preferred option for men so retailers made women's sizing @kelly_bewers
"building organisations that measure value beyond profit or scale...a new economic system that values more inclusive growth and challenges the inherent concepts of business" Great piece @kelly_bewers, totally with you on the sentiment above!
"To suggest we can tackle structural oppression through training, female VCs and women-only founder networks is a cop-out."
Have a story for @kelly_bewers' new column on reframing conversations around women in business?
Let us know!

We need companies like @GoldmanSachs to take stands like this!
Weโre still in January and weโve had *so many* big companies take a new stand (BlackRock - coal / Microsoft - carbon negative) ๐
Hopefully the rest of 2020 follows the same trajectory!
Takeaways from last night: 1. Influence, impact and relationships effect biz change. 2. Focus on your long term goal & identify people who can help you achieve it. 3. Donโt underestimate the competition. 4. Keep costs low! Thanks all for a fab evening!
