RIP The Notorious RBG.
She dedicated her life to achieving equality. She flipped gender law, by winning for men, she won for women. It’s so simple yet so genius and we truly hope we can all learn from her. We don’t get angry we get smart to drive change.

Discuss #CallOutCulture So we’ve been thinking... Is there a difference between #activism & #nameshaming when we #CallItOut? When it comes to #EDI we wonder if #CallItOut is the best way to help to close #everydaysexism & gender gaps. What do you think Twitter?

2020 wishlist for dads at work, great article

Thanks for the TEDx shout out @LifeDaddi

"I thought Caroline Strachan’s Tedx talk about this area, was one of the most enlightened from last year, and is exactly the sort of progress we now need to take action on"

Morning. BBC News is looking to chat to men who’ve been discouraged by their boss, or on the receiving end of mockery from co-workers because they’ve chosen shared parental leave over paternity leave. You'd need to be willing to speak on TV. Any takers, interest or leads?

[Caroline Strachan @carostrachan]

Congrats to Vodafone group for joining other early adopters of equal paid parental leave.

@carostrachan What did it end up being? I’d have gone LBD I think. Very odd dress code. Unless it’s helpfully one code for women and one for men?! 🤨

@RHarper18 The @WomenAtWorkUK members put this together, it might help

.@IngaBeale My question for you was "You have amazing presence. You truly own it. What advice do you have for those who struggle with confidence/need to get out of their own way?" asking on behalf of @WomenAtWorkUK members.

[Caroline Strachan @carostrachan]

The meeting of (2 of the) minds behind @WomenAtWorkUK and @WorkingdadsUK ... because women don't just become mothers,

THIS...👇

Are you speaking at a conference/ lecture/ other event...?

*Use the mic* 🎤

You might think your voice ‘carries’...

...but I can promise you that it doesn’t carry to my hearing aid unless you’re using the microphone (which is connected to the loop system...)

[Women At Work @WomenAtWorkUK]

@WomenEd It’s part of the negotiation post-offer. Let them fall in love with her and have confidence in her ability, and then the onus is also on her to ‘sell’ the arrangement and how she will make it work PT.
