CATHERINE CANALES

“Our self-imposed limitations often hold us back from extraordinary experiences. The key takeaway is that you don't need to be an athlete to participate in races; if running isn't an option, walking is a great start.”

Meet Catherine Canales, a Mexican-German-Swiss. Catherine founded NoGap.world, a salary negotiation practice empowering women to achieve their worth. Through her work, she has assisted countless women in salary negotiations, committed to closing the gender pay gap—one negotiation at a time.

MENTORSHIP & SPONSORSHIP

“Young women entering the sports industry should secure mentorship and sponsorship from senior leaders for career advancement, and fiercely negotiate salary and working conditions, leveraging their unique strengths for a significant impact.”

OUR SELF-IMPOSED LIMITATIONS

“I recently completed a 100km hike in Mongolia over four days and was inspired by a group of 25 Australian women, not athletes, but ordinary middle-aged individuals, who stepped out of their comfort zones to train for this event. This experience taught me that our self-imposed limitations often hold us back from extraordinary experiences. The key takeaway is that you don't need to be an athlete to participate in races; if running isn't an option, walking is a great start.”

ENSURING INDUSTRY EQUITY

“Female leaders bring invaluable perspectives that foster inclusivity, serve as role models, and can enact policies that promote equality and diversity. Their presence in top positions is essential for driving forward innovation and ensuring the industry's growth is equitable and comprehensive.

Men can play a crucial role in advocating for and amplifying the stories of women in sport by actively sharing women’s achievements and challenges, thereby challenging gender stereotypes and advocating for equal opportunities and representation.”
