Want to truly level the playing field in leadership and sport? Host Grace McNamara talks with system-thinkers Eran and Carolyn about the hidden forces shaping our world: bias, diverse role models, and crucial male allies.
Eran shares how his Value Sports initiative uses sport to tackle prejudice and empower youth, revealing how early biases can push girls out of the game. Carolyn uncovers challenges in health tech's "tech bro" culture, advocating for women's health innovation and honest talks about menopause.
They confront unconscious bias head-on, showing why diverse boards aren't just better, but more successful. Eran offers a powerful male perspective: increased female leadership doesn't shrink the pie; it makes it bigger and more valuable for everyone.
This episode is about systemic change: embedding equality into organisations' core DNA, not just through workshops. The next generation, with their broad thinking and embrace of feminism, offers immense hope.
Tune in to rethink assumptions and join the movement where we're all playing for the win!
