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?
