I once heard a leader assure the Dalai Lama “We all pray for peace”... His Holiness leaned forward to take the leader’s hands and, with a delightful sparkle in his eye, chuckled. “Less prayer. More action”. It stayed with me.

Gender equity is easy to aspire to, but the granulation of a concept into actionable steps, with practical strategies and toolkits and peers who are all somewhere along the journey with their sleeves rolled up - that is where CGE have excelled.

Performance Story is committed to optimising performance for individuals, teams and organisations and you can’t achieve any of that without diversity and equity any more than you can have a whole team full of full backs. We are delighted to join the collaborative, supportive and authentic community that CGE have created and are determined to play more than our part.

Our commitment is to work tirelessly to generate a change in the way people think about gender equity and what is truly possible. We are committed to helping our team and clients to reconsider our limiting assumptions, remove barriers, facilitate conversations that generate change, and focus on unique next steps to achieving gender equity. Diversity, respect and equity are the ground zero of performance.

As CEO, I am committed to being a voice of practical optimism - helping to lead these conversations with our stakeholders and the wider community.
