INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
CAROLINE INGHAM SENIOR AUDIT MANAGER
In amongst these women I have a core team of four; we have seen each other through babies, heart breaks, new jobs, and the general highs and lows life throws at us. Over the years they have taught me how to be strong, brave and vulnerable. They have challenged me to be a better person. They have taught me how to laugh at myself and that actually ‘failure’ is not something to be sacred of. All of this washed down with copious amounts of prosecco. Their unwavering support and friendship has been invaluable to me and continues to be. So what does International Women’s Day mean to me - being thankful for having some amazing kick ass women around me. P.S. No men were harmed in the writing of this.
When I was asked to write this I took a bit of time to think what this means to me. I am not sure anyone has ever asked me the question before. I tend to find you get one of two responses to ‘Happy International Women’s Day’. One positive, the other asks the question, “When’s International Men’s day?” - 19 November, by the way. International Women’s Day means so many things to so many people. The focus started as equality for women and has progressed to thinking more widely on key issues such as equality for all. But, really my thoughts turn to the women in my life, and taking time to stop and think about some of the women I have the privilege to call my friends. I am lucky to have a fantastic network of women, all strong in their own ways, and criss-cross a variety of life and business roles.
