Episode 4 - Gender Equality; Do I Make the Wrong Assumptions?

This conversation is very necessary. Society is shifting in terms of equality but yet there is still a long way to go in business, to address disparity between people of different genders. 

 

This conversation asks the questions: 

 

- Do we really take time to understand and listen to each other's needs and requirements, or are we too quick to judge? 

 

- I never understood the need for 'women only' networks before this conversation; now I get it and I fully understand, but how do I support? 

 

- Is our current narrative around equity, diversity & inclusion correct or are we in danger of accepting this purely at face value? 

 

- We need a better, more informative dialogue, done without judgement or fear to move forward and create a better language for change.
