1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,360
So International Women's Day is about
recognising the strength and resilience

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,840
and the unstoppable force of women
across the globe.

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,400
I think for me, International Women's
Day is just,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,400
a day where you can pause.

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,760
As a woman,
but actually just as a society

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,560
and just think about the value

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,120
of what women actually do,
both in the family, within the workplace.

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,520
And it's really important for me,
I think, both personally

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,200
and professionally, that we're inspiring, 
the younger generation

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,000
and certainly our students,
when I think about the MBA,

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,240
that women really can achieve anything
that they set their minds to.

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,000
So sides impact from within
and diverse community really empowers me

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,960
to learn from different experiences
and different backgrounds.

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Empowers me to speak up in class
and learn from my classmates in return.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,160
I mean, one of the joys of working as, 
an academic

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,520
in the business
school is the diversity of our students.

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,680
Oxford.

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,680
We're so lucky in Oxford
to have the convening power

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,160
to attract people from all over the world
in our student body.

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,960
And I know from my work on leadership
and change that

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600
it makes such a difference
to have diversity in the room.

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,560
International Women's Day
is about celebration,

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,680
inspiration, and building community.
