2017, A New Year: Unwrapping possibilities for gender equality

The year has barely started and we are already considering ways to advance gender equality from our different points of action. Last year proved us that going backwards is not impossible. You have probably read articles on how the needle is not moving fast enough, on how we are still lagging in spite of the years of work and discussion. I have read them too. I value them too. I have started action on many of those fronts.

2017 AMBITION: NO MORE RESOLUTIONS!

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER LAURE MODESTI-JUBIN | PWN PARIS

Setting a fresh start to 2017, I have decided to set ambitions, not resolutions. I find resolutions annoying: they convey some level of guilt. They feel boring, heavy, and they drag us down. They make us feel even worse when we don’t respect them – which we usually don’t. That’s because they inherently carry the negative perception that we are not doing well enough… But what if we focused on our strengths, our purpose and what we truly love?
