The challenge and the opportunity
Dr Nnenna Osuji, FMLM Diversity and Inclusion Lead, shares her view of the theme for this year's International Women's Day, #ChooseToChallenge
"I know many women question the ability to be a mother/carer, clinician and leader and to give their best to each role.
"As a mother of four, I recognise and can relate to, not just the challenge, but the opportunity this affords. I have given up on work-life balance and perpetual guilt and aim instead for work-life equilibrium, realising that there are times when my energy is differently concentrated. I don't always get it right, but do value and harness the richness of the experience of juggling, and that the positive intent is what makes for a diverse tapestry, which brings the very best to leadership.
"I now also acknowledge my responsibility to lift as I climb."
