Gihan joins Jeannette today to talk about the value of the B Corp status and what it means for business owners, why sustainability matters, and the pioneering work she's doing in the diversity and inclusion space when it comes to business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The purpose of Communique is to help businesses to begin on their sustainability journey. We need to help businesses understand what sustainability means and why we should care so much about it.
- There is still much work to be done in raising up voices who are being left out of business. We must endeavour to help the invisible become visible.
- Purpose is everything in becoming bold. If you truly believe in something, you will always speak out in defence of that thing.
- In order to effect true change in business for women, we must fundamentally shift the mindset that prevails in society, reset expectations between the sexes, and call out poor behaviour when we see it.
BEST MOMENTS
'We do business model integration, we do communication and we do training'
'The beauty of B Corp, is that it's one of the very few certifications you can go through as an organisation where it looks at all of your stakeholders and how you are impacting them'
'My purpose is to help the invisible become visible'
'I live and breathe my purpose every day'
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
