Mind the Gap: Using Technology to Drive Change

As part of her mission to help organisations recruit, retain, and develop diverse talent, entrepreneur and confidence expert Meggie Palmer aims to address the other gaps that are hindering the advancement of underrepresented and marginalised groups, including opportunity, socio-economic background, race and ethnicity, and education.

Drawing from her own experiences working her way to becoming a widely recognised, leading journalist — yet still facing inequality wherever she turned, Palmer explores these gaps and their impact on the success of organisations and individuals.

As the creator of the free PepTalkHer app, she shares tangible resources anyone can use to intentionally power their own progress on the way to meeting their goals, and offers real-life success stories of the tens of thousands of people who have applied her insights to their careers and leveraged the tools she shares to level up in the workplace, negotiate to match their worth, and play their role in helping to close the gap.
