Hi I'm Bry & I'm on a mission to find out why our male peers always seem to get promoted before us! I'm a mum, sister, wife & high performance coach. I am obsessed with the lack of women on Boards, can you be ambitious AND a woman? Yes. So what's stopping us? Get ready to be inspired and amused. Hear the women & men I interview on route to a Board seat, sitting on a Board or chasing it through failure, struggle and success and how they have navigated power, male dominance and glass ceilings. I hope you are listening. Take your seat.

#9 Driving Board Inclusion with the OG of Allies, Robert Baker

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Robert Baker, the OG of Allies, who has made an inspiring 40+ year journey from ex-HR Consultant at Mercer influencing inclusion, to the first man to join the Board of leading global women’s network, PWN Global, to Board Member of European Women on Boards, Trustee of One Loud Voice, advisor to He for She, Ally, Speaker, and many many more accolades.

With a rich background in fostering inclusivity and diversity, Rob shares his unique insights on engaging men in the conversation to create space for women and promote a more diverse and inclusive boardroom starting with awareness.

I talk to Rob about his personal journey and evolution from consultant to becoming a respected board member and advisor and the challenges and rewards of making this transition.

Rob graciously shares his strategies for opening up conversations with men about diversity and inclusion and the importance of male allies in driving balance on the Board.

This episode packs a punch with essential takeaways and skills for contributing to a (often) challenging conversation in order to cultivate and recognise the importance of a diverse boardroom.

Rob's experiences and success stories in promoting diversity at the highest levels are honest and awesome and will give you the motivation to influence tangible impact in your own organisations.

I've called him the OG of Allies, because Rob's work has had a significant impact on creating more equitable and diverse boardrooms and I am MEGA excited for you to hear from him.
