Why balance shouldn't be a conversation just for women with Jinan Budge

Women At Work

Jinan Budge is a woman working in a man's world. She's sometimes one of 6 women in a room full of 5,000, and she uses her position of authority to agitate for gender equity wherever she can. As a grassroots activist, she challenges male-only panels, companies' committment to gender diversity and why the conversation only seems to consider women.

She shared the importance of defining your values and purpose, and that her purpose includes being a mother but goes far beyond that. She shared the Wheel of life tool to check in on her life and where she's at. Here is a Wheel of Life template for you to use: https://samanthasutherland.com.au/wheeloflife/

Jinan talked about what self care looks like (and it's not about painting your nails), getting support, and that elusive balance. And she shared some of the ways she advocated for gender equity throughout her work and life.
