“Pride to me is both a celebration and a protest. It's a time to honour the joy, resilience, and dazzling brilliance of our LGBTQIA+ communities - but also to remember that we're still pushing against systems that don't see us, protect us or want to take our rights away.” 

Celebrating Pride and championing the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion year-round, we spoke to Lara Husselbee, Head of Learning Experience and Research at Macquarie Group, about what it means to lead with courage and compassion. From challenging the status quo to lifting others up, Lara shares how she lives her values every day—and how being part of Women in CX has given her a genuine sense of belonging, connection, and space to show up as her whole self.
