Virtual Fireside Chat with Anneli Blundell IWD 2023
I know IWD has been and gone, but the need for the focus still remains.

One that accounts for the roles that men and women play in society, and in the home – many of which are (either traditionally or biologically) dictated by gender. One that allows women to pursue career goals and make a meaningful contribution to an organisation while ensuring that the needs of carer and homelife are met. Watch the recorded episode here.
A safe space for men to speak
In this short snippet, Maree McPherson and I discuss my new book, 'When men lead women: Navigating the facts, fears and frustrations of gender equality as a male leader.'
This was an interview done as part of Maree's podcast series - Interview with an Author. In it, we had a robust and practical conversation about men's response to the rise of women in power.
