Networking is a vital part of #leadership, but barriers continue to exist for many of us. In my latest blog post I share some tips I've learned during my career, and explain how a shift in mindset can help you make more meaningful connections.

A huge missed opportunity to diversify senior #leadership and bring new perspectives to the table. Pledges to do better have come up short.

I've written a blog post about my response to developments in #AI and #ChatGPT, spurred on by @geoffreyhinton quitting Google this month, and @merbroussard's comments in The Guardian recently. Also somewhat inspired by #StarTrek :) ow.ly/hqXf50Otfl9

Great to see new writers on the block #women #diverse @perrieraddict and interesting to note #ageism in the publishing industry
I end this piece with a list of 60 black British women novelists writing across genres, many of them debuts & the majority are not well-known. Look them up and see if they're for you, your reading group, your friends, different gens of your family. #Vogue vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifesty…

At #EHF2023 Shahida Suleiman addresses the discussion about capacity building: "let's move on, we are capable, let's talk about capacity sharing: f.i. with flexible multi-annual funding we can actually keep our staff." #localisation
Most of us are natural humanitarians wanting to give meaningful help to those who have less than us. I demystify how donated funds get to those that most need it, and explore how the system needs to #innovate to meet the needs of future emergencies.

Lots in here that I recognise, from having to outperform your white peers to fighting to be seen/heard. If everyone looking at you from across the table is white and middle class you have to push extra hard. Class and elitism remain massive issues. ow.ly/Y3rf50NgAp8

Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh get their food aid through a voucher, which now buys less. I've heard plenty WFP prices are higher than markets

Fascinating podcast episode from @GreylockVC with Sam Altman CEO of @OpenAI discussing #ChatGPT and the future of #AI. As a #StarTrek fan I smiled at the Data reference! ow.ly/Le7950MWRpO

This was a great listen from @dlfkultur (and a good way to brush up on my German). Fascinating to hear about a smart new city being built in Indonesia, a reaction to large parts of Jakarta perishing as part of the #climatecrisis. ow.ly/pJYt50MQztl
