We need to challenge the world to keep the society alert on issues of gender bias and inequity. Since we are all responsible for our own thoughts and actions, we need to create a more inspirational crop of leaders who will stimulate more inclusive workspaces for generations to come.
Sometimes we all need that verbal slap
Do you have a network of people who tell you what you need to hear even if it is not necessarily what you want to hear? Such people are your true acquaintances.
“These are the people that know the real you, not your job or role. We all have moments of self-doubt, when we lack self-belief or have things that do not go according to plan,” says Karen Blackett of MediaCom, UK.

Should an opportunity arise for you to lead a team, provide guidance to your team and create an environment where they can show their greatness instead of micromanaging them.
2. Show up to others
It is easy for you to vouch for yourself that you are a team player during an interview but do your actions reflect the habits you assert yourself with?

Malfunctioning of the placenta deprives the foetus of essential life-sustaining processes. As a result, a condition known as Foetal Growth Restriction (FGR) results. What this means is that the baby cannot thrive with restricted oxygen and nutrient supply. This causes significant deficits on foetal organ development, less body and skeleton mass compared to counterpart with optimally functioning placenta. Unfortunately skeleton mass does not “catch up” after birth, leaving the foetus with lifelong challenges and increased vulnerability to metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological disorders in adulthood. The European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology puts FGR as the second cause of perinatal death after prematurity; complicating almost 6 per cent of all pregnancies.
