Part of our inspiration for launching this series was how, in the midst of a global pandemic which disproportionally impacted women around the world, global multilateral organizations came together to inaugurate the first ever International Equal Pay Day on September 18th 2020. This was an initiative led by United Nations members including Australia, Canada, Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, Panama, South Africa and Switzerland with a total of 105 UN member states co-sponsoring the resolution to establish September 18th as “International Equal Pay Day”.Through this series, we hope to elevate the equity conversation to make the world a more equitable place for women to work, live, and thrive, and support closing the gender wage gap.Podcast in Engli Bound for Bestseller: Book Marketing & Book Launch Strategy for Authors Valerie Morris Valerie Morris shares tried-and-true methods for launching and marketing a successful book.

We wanted to go beyond the stereotypes and headlines that seemed to be making dialogue difficult.We – Ali Avery and Alice Myers – took the triggering of Article 50 as an opportunity. As the UK formally began the process of leaving the European Union, we set out on a listening journey through the four countries of the UK.We traveled in leaps of 50 miles from Anglesey to Lincolnshire. We knocked on every number 50 door we passed and also spoke to people we met working in their gardens, waiting for buses, walking their dogs and having their hair done.Exactly one year later, we're launching this selection of highlights for you to enjoy.
