This year’s International Women’s Day theme is Give to Gain. Around the world, people are encouraged to give respect, visibility, opportunity, mentorship, funding, and support so women everywhere can move forward.
Pause for a moment and consider what this might mean in your own life.
Try this short practice:
- Review your relationships and activities. Who could benefit from a little more support, recognition, or encouragement?
- Choose one loving action. Introduce someone to a helpful contact. Share credit publicly. Recommend a woman for an opportunity. Offer mentorship.
- Include yourself. Claim the credit you earned. Ask for support. Put your name forward.
This International Women’s Day, define it for yourself.
What will you give, and what will you allow yourself to gain?
