International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.\u00a0 With origins beginning in the early 1900s, International Women’s Day was celebrated for the first time by the United Nations in 1975.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, the theme for International Women\u2019s Day (March 8), \u201cChoose To Challenge<\/a>,\u201d asks us to think and discuss how we each plan to forge a gender equal world. “A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let’s all choose to challenge.”*<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Women\u2019s involvement and leadership in all areas of life drives progress for everyone. At Vionic, we would like to spotlight a member of our team who brings ingenuity and empathy to her role as Senior Manager of People & Culture: Krista Reid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am a true problem solver that comes to given task with an underlying empathy which informs the outcome and resolution. I have a relatively agile and creative mind. I always aim to overshoot any goal set for me.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Outside of work, I try to spend my time on activities like Girls On The Run that will help girls grow their self-confidence and support each other. Through work I have had the privilege of working with Dress for Success and Center for Domestic Peace both in fundraising and direct support of their clients. I believe that women who work and live in supportive and empowering environments can achieve absolutely anything, and I am thrilled to be in\u00a0 one of those environments at Vionic!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aside from lots of time spent with my family, my go-to routine always involves running. I run 4-6 times a week and on days I don’t run, I hike. Being outdoors and moving clears my headspace of all the junk that builds up and gives me the inner freedom to exhale. When I am in that state surrounded by nature, my filter of the world shifts and I can see both the beauty in the minutia and the splendid vastness of the sheltering sky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n My fav style this season is the <\/span>Simasa<\/span><\/a>. It’s fun and sporty and perfect for remote work!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n *information from https:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210305_IWD_Assets_FB_TW_POST.jpeg\")
