Do you suspect that your company might be guilty of rewarding toxic masculine behavior? Are you celebrating the brilliant jerk at the expense of the team and the bottom line?
A lack of empathy, compassion, and shared humanity in many industries towards their employees lead to the Great Resignation. We find ourselves at a crossroads, having to choose between the "old boys club" style of management of the past and a future of work where we foster leaders who understand the value of balancing feminine and masculine leadership.
This session is for organizations who want to rise above the antiquated Mad Men way of managing; for the executive who understands that they need to address systemic workplace issues (e.g. toxic masculinity, misogyny, racism). This is a call-to-action - a BS Meter - for any company claiming that they care about their staff. Is your company ready to follow through on the values written in your mission statement and plastered on your walls?

That is what you are up against.
A society that unconsciously tells you not to be yourself. Narrows your ability to believe what is possible.
Communicates to you that not only should you not be yourself, but also that you are not enough. That something is missing in you. That you don’t know who you are and that you should follow other’s lead.
Every time you scroll on social media, the message is you’re not enough
It can permeate your soul and you end up just feeling dazed, confused, and scared of being yourself.
