ProntoNLP leverages advanced NLP (Natural Language Processing) and LLM technologies to democratize access to financial and technological knowledge, making it more accessible to women around the globe. Our Gen AI-driven platform offers the user the ability to personalize their experience. This approach not only helps women gain a solid foundation in financial literacy and tech proficiency but also encourages them to innovate and lead in these sectors. We believe that by providing women with the knowledge, confidence, and support network they need, we can break down the barriers that have historically limited their participation. As a result, ProntoNLP is not just contributing to the personal and professional growth of women but is also fostering a more diverse, equitable, and innovative ecosystem within the financial markets and high-tech world. #womeninai #iwd2024 #womeninbusiness

Immersive Labs: We took the opportunity to sit down with our two female executives here at Immersive Labs, Sandra McDevitt and Julie Chapman, asking about the impact of inclusion on the success of a company, how companies can ensure they're inspiring inclusion, and what advice they would pass on to aspiring leaders. Read about the insight these empowered women have for empowering future generations: https://hubs.ly/Q02stbgQ0

After the wave of gratitude and improvements for next year noted, there’s time to reflect on the impact of the 53rd Matrix Awards. This is the seventh I’ve attended, journeying over the years from the back of the room to the podium. Every time, I walk away inspired by the women honored and encouraged knowing that there are women leading the way with the power to inspire the next generation. We’ve come a long way from New York Women In Communications’s roots in the 1920’s, and the fight for equal pay in the pressroom, but in some ways little progress has been made. This is especially true today as we see hard-fought women’s rights being stripped away. We might want to believe that we live in a Barbie-world, but we don’t. That’s why we need the Matrix Awards, perhaps, more than ever. We need a Matrix Award so that women who know how to harness their superpower like Esi Eggleston Bracey, can show more women that you can have profound impact when you lead with purpose and conviction. We need a Matrix Award so that hard-working leaders like Donna Speciale, get the credit they deserve for never letting off the gas until every advertiser understands the value of the Hispanic community in this country. We need a Matrix Award to acknowledge those like Maureen Reidy, that have the courage to take on diverse and challenging roles, navigating their careers while staying true to their core values. We need a Matrix Award for those few among us, like Clarissa Ward, who’s incredible drive to uncover the truth transcends fear and brings the world a little closer for all of us. And, we need a Matrix Award for leaders like Christine Elliott who manage with empathy and grace, and who encourage us all to leave the door open and invite more women into the room. That’s why we need the Matrix Awards. But my hope is that one day we won’t. #MatrixAwards #Matrix2023 #MatrixAwards2023 #NYWICI

The WiPR team were on the ground at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity last week, and the The Female Quotient Equality Lounge was top of our highlight list 😍 We managed to catch the “Cracking the Code, Not Just the Ceiling” panel on how we promote and retain women in leadership roles. The impressive panel included Caroline Dettman, Chief Creative and Marketing Officer, The Female Quotient, Julia Goldin, Global Chief Product & Marketing Officer, the LEGO Group, Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP (who has hired an all female leadership team), Kim Getty, CEO, Deutsch LA and Deborah Honig, Chief Customer Officer, Samsung Electronics UK. Our top takeaways were: 💡 The importance of giving future leaders the space and training to develop their own leadership identity, rather than mirroring the behaviours of those who came before them.  💡 How women often come into leadership with more insecurities than men due to societal pressures, how can women be supported rather than penalised for this?  💡 The need to rebrand ‘soft skills’ associated with women to essential skills.  💡 How bringing more diversity to the C-Suite means taking a chance on people - get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable! With women often experiencing shorter tenures in the C-Suite, we'd love to know your views on how can we create environments that retain women in leadership roles? #WIPR #Communications #PublicRelations #CannesLions #PR Image description: Panel of speakers, 4 women and 1 man, on a white bench with microphones having a discussion.
