Bio
Tracey Locke
Vida is an exceptional coach. I've been fortunate to work with her over a number of years now but in the last 12 - 18 months she has coached me directly. The experience has been many things - it's made me reflect (something I'm not always so good at), take positive action, adjust to change, understand better my emotions and recognise that it's me who makes me what I am not the context or organisation. I'm in the process of transition in my professional life and I'm so grateful to Vida for her wisdom and support in this process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

o Shape Talent are the diversity, equity and inclusion experts for complex multinational organisations who are serious about gender equality and what it can achieve for their business. We believe that not only do organisations benefit from having a better balance of men and women at the top, but families and societies do too. Our research shows that barriers to progression exist for women at three levels: at a societal, organisational and at a personal level. We know that meaningful change happens when solutions target all three levels: all too often we see, and hear about, interventions which focus on ‘fixing women’ but ignore the broader ecosystem within which these barriers exist. That’s why our approach is different. We look at the whole system to ensure that our work has the biggest impact on the greatest number of people.At Shape Talent we don’t just want to make an incremental impact. We want to be part of a fundamental shift towards gender balanced organisations and societies, where both men and women thrive, and where organisations reap the benefits of this. • o Gender equity for diverse and inclusive organisationsGender equity for diverse and inclusive organisationsShape Talent accelerates gender equality in business, facilitating sustainable change that leads to diverse and inclusive cultures.
