🇫🇷 On the 5th of November I moderated a genderbalance panel at EquipHotel and I was not suppose to be moderating. 24hrs before the start of the panel unfortunately I had two women drop out due to
pregnancy related health issues. Naturally we made it a topic of discussion on the panel about the choices women have to make. And Virginie and Ariane will be featured in a special podcast episode separately.
🙏 Thank you for my remaining panellists who were flexible to not only change their moderator but also switching to English for the discussion. Monika, Camille, Francois and Steven
Here are the topics we covered:
Topic 1 - parental responsibilities, the sacrificeswomen have to make and how can partners and companies support
Topic 2: Fostering an inclusive culture toencourage employees to speak up for what they want for their career
Topic 3
Dare to Be Visible through both internal and external Networking
🧐 All my panellists had a range of interesting insights on these topics. As we had representatives from large corporation like Accor, smaller family owned and operated business like Diana Hotel Collection.
Representing the next generation was Camille and bringing with her a wealth of hotel operations experiences was Monika.

🤗 An engaging and inspiring 40 mins. And what reall ygot the panel going was when Camille shared that she was once told by a GM to hurry up with her career because soon she will fall in love and have kids!
