#IntensiveCare #CriticalCare #ICU #ICS #Congress
While we’ve been lucky to have supportive male mentors, we highlighted how vital it is to see women in influential positions. Having Katie as the CEO of #ICS is a powerful reflection of the #representation we need.
Let’s keep mentoring, supporting, and empowering the women around us.
🤝 Power of mentorship: You don’t need a formal title to be a mentor. We discussed how rare it is to see women mentoring men, and how it would be a powerful step toward equity
🌟 Inspiration is everywhere: We looked at our #rolemodels who so often faced pushback, being the first in their fields
🚫 Breaking barriers: We discussed how lack of flexibility historically forced many women to step away from medicine, now we're seeing progress, ensuring we don’t lose great minds
🚀 Thriving vs. surviving: Training shouldn't feel like a gladiatorial sport. We want to move away from a rigid hierarchy
As part of #IWD we hosted a #WomenInLeadership webinar about hurdles women face, raising:
- Breaking barriers
- Thriving vs. surviving
- Power of #mentorship
- Inspiration is everywhere
