@docadisa Yeah they could have stood up for the people in the first place, this didn’t need an investigation it was publicly available information that was clearly not a breach. What a waste of time

Best time of the year is the @UKCultureShift Knowledge Forum. It’s been such an amazing day with great speakers, discussions and ideas and I’m so proud to have brought so many change makers together again.

On our way to Manchester to visit our main office. Mil’s such a good train dog. Helps that I always bring her very comfy bed with.

Rape is meant to silence.
Rape is meant to leave you dominated, broken, mute and submissive.

So there is everything *right* with survivors thriving, shining their light, influencing, pushing for change, living fully.

Keep changing that script.

[Vicki Baars @baars_vicki]

Our next podcast episode is out and I'm speaking to Chelsea Maher about psychological safety at work, being a leader with compassion and an understanding that the people you manage will fail. What's your organisations view on failure? Are you safe to fail at work?

How is it nearly the end of August? Time flies when you are fighting the kyriarchy

@clareakaC2 @UKCultureShift Thanks Clare, it’s been a really interesting journey for Culture Shift and still so much for us to do

[Vicki Baars @baars_vicki]

The first episode of the The Culture Shift podcast will be going live this Wednesday. You can listen to me and Gemma talk about how workplaces have changes over the last century, how rights we have now were hard fought for and how many problems persist.

Here we have many of the same features as the Titanic submarine story – peril on the sea, human lives at stake, a race against time. Will we be getting the same wall-to-wall coverage of the search and rescue?

Clip from a recent webinar where I'm talking about how it's not acceptable to think about LGBTQ+ people during pride month. What are your workplaces plans for July onwards 👀

[Culture Shift @UKCultureShift]

We're nearing the end of #Pridemonth
Has your workplace changed their logo to the Pride flag, what else are they doing ALL year round to support LGBTQ+ employees?

Of course you'll not be reading this as a headline in UK media despite them featuring ANY & EVERY trans women who competes, in whatever Sport, wherever in the world

Patricio's win simply doesn't fit their narrative
