The Reality of Systemic Change

Systemic change refers to a fundamental shift in the structures, policies, and cultural norms that shape organisations, communities, and industries.

Unlike incremental changes or one-off initiatives, systemic change embeds transformation into the very fabric of an ecosystem, ensuring that progress is sustained beyond individual efforts. It requires intentional action, long-term commitment, and collective participation to dismantle barriers and create new pathways for progress.

Change doesn’t happen overnight. It requires intention, persistence, and, most importantly, action. Every step, no matter how small, counts. 🚶🏾‍♀️💡

Being First

This past week, I found myself in Miami, surrounded by brilliant women from across the Caribbean. For the second time, I had the privilege of teaching the 2025 cohort of Women in Leadership on behalf of the University of the West Indies. My focus? Developing Strategy with a Growth Mindset.

One of the key discussions was about being the first in any space. What do you do when you are the first? How do you ensure that your presence leads to lasting impact? Legacy-building isn’t just about what you achieve; it’s about what you make possible for those who come after you.
