We are so proud of you Leila McKenzie-Delis 💃🏻! ✨
CEO & Founder DIAL Global (Diverse Inclusive Aspirational Leaders) 🌎 2 x Author 📚 Futurist ✨ Researcher🔬 Thought Leader 💁🏻♀️ Host of the CEO Activist + Diverse & Inclusive Leaders Podcast🎙
The proudest night of my professional life 😭 Firstly, I want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who came to my book launch last night. To see so many wonderful, diverse faces - many of them friends & colleagues both old and new - was truly touching to me. To the brilliant panelists who spoke on the night: Steve Rowe, Ray Dempsey, Pauline Miller, Cassius Taylor-Smith and Stewart Taylor…you are all incredibly inspiring people and your involvement on the evening means the world ❤️ And then there’s the unbelievable Salesforce team - in particular Amir Kabel & Sinead Rose CDMS-SP who hosted us at their HQ so graciously. This is a company that truly cares about diversity, and they practice what they preach. I am so grateful for your hospitality 🙏 None of this would’ve been possible without my brilliant publisher, Wiley. Thanks for making the dream I had for my 2nd book become a reality. Last but certainly not least, I want to give a huge shoutout to all of you in my LinkedIn community. Some of you were present last night, others couldn’t make it and a number persisted with the large queue and the tech at security (thank you SO much for your patience given we were significantly over capacity!) All of you have played a crucial role in my work in this space 🙏💓 I’m so proud to have built a community of people on here who continuously educate me, who share fascinating perspectives, and who show support to me wherever they can. I am genuinely grateful for all of you, and I look forward to continuing to share my experiences and growing this community. Now: time for some much needed R&R. (Any parents of young children will know that’s certainly not going to happen 😂) X

There are many iconic women. Ruth Westheimer's voice will be missed as so many work to ensure that women's access to healthcare and bodily autonomy does not remain a political tool. Her freedom of self was an inspiration to so many. A true MAKER.
