Tom believes by sharing the lessons and insights role models have gained on their personal journeys, we all benefit from that kind of inspiration and guidance. Plus, put simply: seeing is believing. When you see someone that is like you achieve a goal, it becomes much easier to believe that the same successful path is possible for you, too. It could be a young boy dreaming of what he will be when he grows up, or a graduate starting off her career, or a junior manager aspiring to reach the senior executive level — they will all set their sights higher when they have someone to look up to. So, if you think of these success stories as nothing more than entertainment, it's time to look again; they are powerful tools in the push for equality.
