‘I want to inspire men to ask themselves how they want to act in the future: Continue in the alpha mold or recognize our own diversity and find inner strength?’

‘I think it's important to understand that the majority of people are in favour of more diversity and inclusion, but that there is often a huge knowledge gap.’

Power sharing means sharing power and influence. It is aimed at people in privileged positions who want to and can use their power to change the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities.

It is not acceptable for work to be seen as a weakness in economic terms just because it is unpaid.

My principle is to create a desire for diversity; it's a matter of the heart. Desire always plays a big role, whether in food, sports, or sexuality. If we don't have the desire, it's difficult to make it work.

For me, diversity also means taking into account the person's respective life situation, professional background, expertise and skills. For me, diversity actually means bringing people's individuality together.

We need to get better at evaluating people regardless of their gender and recognizing their potential. We need to get away from these traditional role models and expectations.

I realized early on that society doesn't move forward on its own, it's everyone's contribution that counts.

My main goal is to instill optimism and hope in my students and give them space to explore new horizons.

We need to make the power centers, especially the boards of directors, more holistic.

If we can truly embrace diversity, we can do anything!
