Inspirational Women

Given that this is the first time I have used this, I think we can all assume that as time ghoes on my blog-spot will get snazzier - hopefully!

Just thought I'd let you all know about this incredible woman I met at work yesterday. She works at Univeristy of Auckland as a researcher as well as being busy as a guest speaker on Cultural safety - mainly in the medical profession. She used to lecture nurses as well as surgeons regarding cultural safety when treating patients from different cultures. She isn't even 40 and she has worked with so many different types of people - including in a methadone withdawal clinic for newborn babies! She's also teaching herself html and web coding and has a fantastic internet site which I will post up here when I get it from work incase any of you are interested in checking it out.

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to expand my networks in Auckland so quickly and to be mixing with such successful, intelligent and creative women through the seminars we organise, the training as well as the awesome women that are mentors on the Future Leaders program that I work on.

Very inspiring stuff.

I am so sucked into getting some stuff on my blog that I have just made the executive decision to skip yoga this morning and go to the afternoon session. Also hoping to join the library today as I haven't had a book to read for ages - if anyone has read any recently that they wanna recommend, please email me and let me know.
