International Women's Day (IWD) allows us to celebrate the achievements of women and promote gender equality. This year's theme, "Accelerate Action," encourages us to take meaningful steps towards equality. 

At Expro, we believe in fostering environments where women are not just included but are actively supported to grow within the business. This year, we have asked some of our female colleagues across the world to share their thoughts on accelerating action, their role models, valuable career advice, and more.  

See what Alexis had to say below.

Who is your female role model or someone you admire & why?
I could never name just one. I admire strong female leaders who forge paths beyond tradition despite the obstacles. I admire women who dare to imagine they can be more and go for it. It doesn’t matter whether they are young or old, I admire strength and tenacity. 

Tell us about a valuable piece of career advice you have been given?
The best advice I have received was, “find a way to say yes”. It meant find a way to pursue every opportunity. Don’t let challenges stop you.

This year’s IWD theme is Accelerate Action, what does that mean to you?
To me, this means ‘Be Bold’ in your pursuit of dreams. 

If you could live a day in the life of a famous female, who would it be and why? 
It would probably be Beyonce, because she is unapologetic in her journey. She goes for it! Beyond her work, her day might include attending exclusive fashion events, visiting top-tier ateliers, or interacting with influencers and media in the industry. It would also be inspiring to see how she balances her career with her role as a mother, managing a business while maintaining a refined and sophisticated personal style.
