Double Honours at BKM HQ: Celebrating Our Leaders' Achievements
At Be Kind Movement (BKM), good news is a lot like buses—sometimes you wait, and then two arrive at once. That’s exactly how we felt after receiving the exciting news that both our Founder and CEO, Premila Puri, and our Chair, Lisa Ardley-Price, have been recognised for their inspiring leadership and contributions to kindness and inclusion.
Lisa Ardley-Price, who joined BKM as Chair in February this year, has been awarded the prestigious title of ‘Leading Light’ by Kindness and Leadership. This honour places her among a select group of 50 people from the UK who work tirelessly to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Lisa’s impact is felt both within BKM and beyond, as she champions change in everything she touches.
Despite managing a team of 19 at NatWest, supporting various causes, and running marathons on both sides of the Atlantic this year, Lisa still finds time to volunteer with us—something we are immensely grateful for.
Meanwhile, Premila Puri has been nominated in two categories at this year’s She Inspires Awards, which celebrates empowerment, inspiration, and a strong commitment to gender parity. Premila is flying the BKM flag as a nominee for both Women in Leadership and Arts and Culture Champion.
The competition is fierce and well-deserved, but we’re already incredibly proud of her nominations. We’ll know the final results in a few weeks, but we’re celebrating Premila now for her unwavering dedication and leadership, which keeps BKM moving forward every day.
As a team, we feel it’s only right to turn the spotlight on Premila and Lisa, whose tireless work often goes unnoticed. They lead by example, showing what it truly means to amplify kindness and positivity in every environment they encounter. We don’t take their efforts for granted and want to publicly acknowledge the incredible impact they have on all of us.
Is there someone who exemplifies kindness in your life? We’d love to hear about them! Share with us the people who have touched your life, and we’ll help celebrate their kindness here at Be Kind Movement.
