Excellent group of women leaders who brought UNB Women in Sport Conference participants opportunities to listen, learn, and reflect yesterday. Thank you @unbwis

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

Enjoyed learning about Jocelyne Larocque's journey with hockey and hear examples where she has spoken out for gender equity. Glad she continued to have faith in her dreams despite not seeing many women playing hockey. Great recommendation to follow @thegistca

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

I learn a lot about the behind the scenes support that many women provide. Great idea for a panel! Nutrition. Physio. Mental performance. All critical to sport. Thank you all!

[UNB Women in Sport @unbwis]

We are back this afternoon & are so excited for our Unsung Heroes Panel!

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

@LoriJohnstone @unbwis I wanted to hear so much about about his work and experiences.

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

This panel offered so many insights. Stories of challenge, support and sound advice on advocating for, engaging with and leading women within equity seeking groups in the context of sport.

[UNB Women in Sport @unbwis]

The UNB WIS Gender & Racial Equity in Sport Panel has now begun! Get ready for some educational and personal stories that will inspire you in different ways!

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

Really enjoying the panel of women leaders. "It's all about how you perceive the obstacles" - only one of the great bits of wisdom shared.

[UNB Women in Sport @unbwis]

The UNB WIS Women in Leadership Panel has begun! We are so grateful these wonderful women are here with us today to talk about their journeys as leaders!

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

One can only imagine the passion and work that went into putting on today's UNB Women in Sport conference. The leadership/executive team includes several women completing degree programs in @KinUNB. Proud!

[UNB Women in Sport @unbwis]

The UNB Women in Sport Conference has started with our first keynote speaker, Joyce Slipp!

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

Thrilled to be listening to Joyce Slipp @Doufie deliver the opening keynote of the UNB Women in Sport conference. Fascinating to hear about her journey as an athlete! @unbwis

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

@UNBAthletics @SMUHuskies @unb_wvb The Reds women are amazing to watch tonight! Really playing hard! Go Reds Go!

This advice is perfectly timed - How to shake off negative feedback (while possibly learning from it, even if you don’t want to), by @loleen_berdahl https://t.co/uFqNHvZctP

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

Watching great women’s sport action this evening from home. The UNB at home v Acadia in basketball - thanks for the commentary @Doufie! Also watching UNB @ Acadia for volleyball - playing at my alma mater. #goredsgo

[Charlene Shannon, PhD @leisurethings]

Ron has had a significant influence on how I think about the field and the work I do. I still - despite being 20 years graduated from my PhD at UW - reach out for and value his advice and encouragement.

@JonathanMalloy Just started working on my sabbatical application for July 1, 2023 this morning. I wrote that my first goals is to rest, reflect and re-energize. I think seeing your tweet reinforces that I was smart to set this out as a first goal!
