Whether you’re an industry leader or just starting out in your career, here are nine key takeaways from the event:</span></p><h3>1. Encourage diversity</h3><p><span data-contrast="auto">“It’s really essential for leaders to foster diversity, because if individuals feel comfortable bringing their true selves to the workplace, then they are more likely to be super motivated. All of which starts with leadership getting together to think about how they can act as role models for their team.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p><p><strong>Kate Apps, Senior Strategic Portfolio Manager, Vodafone UK</strong></p> <section class="single-block vodafone-banner-advert mt-4 mb-4" style=background-image:url(https://www.vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/app/uploads/2022/03/ThumbnailOPTIMISED.jpg);> <span class="overlay"></span> <div class="content"> <div class="row d-flex justify-content-between justify-items-between"> <div class="col-sm-11 col-md-10 col-lg-8"> <h2>Nicki Lyons on the importance of International Women's Day</h2> <div class="mt-4">Vodafone's UK Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer, Nicki Lyons, talks about what International Women's Day means to her.</div> </div> <div class="col-12 mt-5 mb-2"> <a class="btn" href="https://www.vodafone.co.uk/newscentre/videos/nicki-lyons-talks-about-the-importance-of-international-womens-day/">Find out more</a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="single-block embed-block mt-4 mb-4 w-100"> <h3>2. Foster psychological safety</h3><p><span data-contrast="auto">“As leaders, we need to be authentic. Before COVID, I was very private and didn’t like to show any weaknesses. During the pandemic, however, we sat down as a team and had a really personal conversation about what was working and what wasn’t. By admitting that I was struggling, my team resonated, and felt like they could talk about these issues a lot more openly.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p><p><strong>Charlotte Crowson, Head of Digital Product, Vodafone UK </strong></p><h3>3. Make vulnerability a superpower</h3><p><span data-contrast="auto">“The best work happens when you’re in an environment where you feel safe. But, to get there, you first have to be vulnerable. This means proactively sharing what’s personally and professionally important to you. Because, if people know where you are coming from, they can better understand your point of view.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p><p><strong>Graham Seamans, North Europe Area Vice President, MongoDB </strong></p><h3>4.

Find your passion</h3><p><span data-contrast="auto">“In the tech world, we are trying to solve problems, so you need to be passionate about what you are doing.
