DIGGING DEEP already shaping but her ultimate goal for the future is a simple one , and typical of a woman not concerned with ego but has the urge to help others in spades . “ Ultimately , I want a role like mine to not have to exist ,” she confesses .
“ Because I want the journey to reach a point where we can leverage difference – whether age , race , gender or sexual orientation – for positive effect . Everybody fits into this picture because it ’ s all about diversity of thought , experience and background . I want people to be curious about differences and not see them as a threat . The prospect of getting to that point is what really motivates me . We need to learn to develop skills to tap into somebody else ’ s difference while building on what we have in common . I would really love for the industry to come together to discuss inclusion and diversity in the same way and progress to make it a competitive advantage for the industry as a whole .”
