This year&#8217;s theme encourages us all to celebrate women&#8217;s achievements and increase visibility while calling out inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change is fuelled by collective activism, from small-scale movement to large-scale momentum \u2013 which is why we sat down with our partner BT Business to discuss why we need to shift our thought processes from \u201cequal opportunity\u201d to \u201cgender equity\u201d in sales and leadership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our leaders came together to discuss their individual journeys to sales. Coming from different backgrounds \u2013 both personally and professionally \u2013 we found that forging gender equity isn\u2019t limited to women solely fighting the good fight. Allies are incredibly important for the advancement of women in the workplace and for actualising the expectations women have of themselves in leadership roles. During our discussions, we touched on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamourmagazine.co.uk\/article\/ditch-inner-imposter-book-extract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impostor syndrome<\/a> and how it can be a detractor from going after the things we want \u2013 including job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"impostor-syndrome-and-how-to-overcome-it\"><span>Impostor syndrome and how to overcome it <\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Impostor syndrome refers to people (often women and high achievers) who doubt their capabilities and accomplishments.

So once you realise this, you can let it go and know that we&#8217;re all the same and we&#8217;re all a little bit worried about being found out. I love the fact that I&#8217;m still learning life-changing things about leading every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But coming to this kind of actualisation is only a minor hurdle compared to the fact there is a lack of representation in sales and leadership roles.

Strong and mutual alignment really benefits leaders and managers because it gets things done more quickly and smoothly than if we were to go it alone. Men and women have different viewpoints, ideas, and market insights, which I think will enable even better problem-solving. So for me, gender diversity is vital to any workplace\u201d. \u2013 Stephane Lesenne &#8211; Sales Director, Regional Enterprise Europe at BT Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our panel also spoke to the benefits of mentorships for women in sales and leadership. It\u2019s one thing to feel supported by the teams around you, but you also need a mentor who can advise you on where you&#8217;re going in the future and what your path is as a woman in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, you need a coach because you need somebody who will listen and help you find your own way \u2013 whether that&#8217;s personal or professional because it all has an impact. We spend five days a week at work, so it&#8217;s important that we show up authentically and have somebody to help us find our true selves in the workplace. If you can find a senior person in the organisation who will take your cause and fight for you in the room when you are not there, then those are the real gems when it comes to career progression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why we\u2019re so committed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/Theme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#EmbraceEquity campaign<\/a> \u2013 not just today but in all that we do.
