Marie teilt offen, wie sich ihr eigenes Mutterwerden auf Job, Identität und Karriere ausgewirkt hat: vom „Du gehst ja sicher 12 Monate“-Bias über den nicht eingehaltenen Rückkehr-Deal bis hin zum Aha-Moment: Elternzeit ist für viele keine Pause, sondern de facto ein Exit – wenn Strukturen und Haltung nicht mitwachsen. Wir gehen rein in Allyship, Tandemführung, Teilzeit in Führung, Meeting-Kultur und was Führungskräfte konkret tun können, damit Rückkehr wirklich gelingt.Darum geht'sWarum „Zeit ≠ Leistung“ und weshalb die Fixierung auf Vollzeit Führung verzerrt.Elternzeit als Exit: wie unausgesprochene Erwartungen & gebrochene Zusagen Vertrauen zerstören.Allyship im Alltag: Redezeit, Sichtbarkeit & Projekte bewusst an Rückkehrer:innen geben.Strukturen statt Heldentum: Homeoffice, Zeitfenster (z. B. keine Meetings nach 16 Uhr), klare Kalender-Transparenz („Kita-Zeit“).Tandemführung & Job-Design: Verantwortung flexibel schneiden, statt Talente zu verlieren.Wie HR & Führung Beförderungen und Talentprozesse bias-sensibel aufsetzen.Haltungsswitch: von „Teilzeit ist schwierig“ zu „Wie organisieren wir Verantwortung flexibel?“.Botschaft an männliche Führungskräfte: Gleichberechtigung ist Business-Risiko – und Chance.Maries Leadership-Programm (Sneak Peek)Ein 8-Wochen-Programm, das Werte-reflektierte Führung, agiles Arbeiten und Change-Wirkung verbindet – mit Fokus auf gerechte, moderne Arbeitskultur und echter Umsetzung im eigenen Wirkfeld.Ressourcen & LinksWenn dich das Thema: Tandemführung interessiert, dann höre gerne in diese Folge rein:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2vZm1HXO8P1WmNGo7wjmAj?si=170dfadc27b94d43Und nun so kannst du mit Marie in Kontakt treten und bleiben:Linkedin: Marie Steiner-KastirrInsta: @work_mary_workWebseite: https://www.enablit.de/

A burger run after a high school football game should be forgettable. Instead, teens were pulled from their cars, handcuffed, and taken to a station for violating a 10 p.m. curfew - no drugs, no fights, no vandalism. We follow that one night in LA County to its bigger meanings: how “law and order” becomes spectacle, how small policies teach big lessons about power, and how a first brush with policing can harden into lifelong distrust.From there we widen the frame. A leaked trove of messages from young Republican leaders celebrates Hitler, throws racist slurs, and jokes about rape. It isn't an outlier - it's an accelerant. We talk about what broke for some white Americans during Obama's presidency and why euphemisms no longer help. If you're tired of talking about race, imagine living with it daily. Allyship can't be a bumper sticker; it's the choice to speak up in rooms where it's easiest to stay quiet, to challenge family myths, and to back policy changes that stop criminalizing kids for being kids.There is light. Nearly every major outlet just rejected a Pentagon demand to sign a gag agreement, drawing a line for press freedom. Organizers are mobilizing for No Kings Day, a reminder that power answers to the people, not the other way around. We share practical steps: push for diversion over arrests, demand proportional policing, support local journalism, and rotate rest so burnout doesn't win. The throughline is simple: dignity should not be a luxury, and a late-night order of fries should never be a criminal act.If this conversation moved you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and hit follow so you won't miss what's next.

Chantelle Lewis and Jason Arday, co-authors of the book We See Things They'll Never See, join the show to discuss their work. Arday, a professor of sociology of education at the University of Cambridge, and Lewis, an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Black British Studies at Pembroke College, the University of Oxford, delve into how their experiences as Black, neurodivergent academics influenced their book. Together, they share the motivation behind their work, highlighting the importance of challenging societal infringements and advocating for marginalized communities. Here are my favorite takeaways: We discuss the importance of showing compassion and empathy, especially to those who seem to deserve it the least. As Arday states, "sometimes when people least deserve it, that's when they deserve the most compassion". Lewis explains the book's critical look at the workplace, where neurodivergent individuals are sometimes seen as "superhumans" who can produce more for a capitalist system. This creates a system in which their marginalization is used to uphold a system of oppression. "The way we are marginalized can also be used as a way to keep this system in place," Lewis says. Arday and Lewis propose that to improve society, there must be a move away from the current educational model. This includes the abolition of exams, as they are not necessarily correlated with future success or positive academic outcomes. Lewis argues that "we need to stop measuring education outcomes by just test scores." Follow Dr Chantelle Jessica Lewis' research at Pembroke College, University of Oxford, podcast Surviving Society

Lucinda is joined by allyship expert Julie Kratz, who discusses her research on why people with power often disengage from conversations about diversity and inclusion, feeling either "threatened" or "irrelevant." Together they explore her latest book, which outlines a "use fear as fuel" strategy and introduces a framework for building allyship programs. Julie stresses that everyone has power and a social responsibility to champion inclusion, arguing that strong allyship is less about transactional "doing" and more about building meaningful relationships that lead to personal fulfilment, better team dynamics, and positive organisational change. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people in positions of power, particularly white men, do not believe conversations about diversity and inclusion are meant to include them, often fuelled by fears of status loss, irrelevance, or the belief that allyship offers "all risk, no reward." Everyone has power, and the first step to becoming an effective ally is to build a strong "allyship why" rooted in the understanding that humans are a social species whose survival and happiness depend on collaboration and helping one another. Effective allyship involves moving beyond individual action to creating systemic change, which includes building highly customised allyship programs that focus on key behaviours like modeling and storytelling to make inclusive practices contagious. Organisations need to focus on building inclusive policies (e.g., caregiving leave, pay equity) and objective hiring and promotion processes to minimise bias, as people are often judged on potential (if they resemble current leadership) or actual performance (if they are different). BEST MOMENTS "The first step that I offer is really building your allyship why. Like why do you want to be helpful to other people?" "Power's not bad, it's what you do with it that matters. And so don't you want to be on the good side of history, like don't you want to be the one that's standing up to social issues, even if it doesn't impact you?" "The more you are look and act like the C-suite leader, that again is predominantly white male, the more you have proxy to power." "Modelling plus storytelling. So I can model the behaviour, and you could be like, 'Yeah, that's great for Julie, but that doesn't really work for me and my style.' But what if I told you a story in addition to that, that you could kind of see yourself in?"

Yurok fisherman and tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental scientist-turned-activist Craig Tucker share the epic story of how Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship made the impossible inevitable: the biggest-ever dam removal and salmon restoration in history. It represented a literal watershed moment; unprecedented co-equal decision-making between the tribes and their historical nemesis – the US government. Once complete in 2024, the project will liberate the Klamath river and several tributaries to once again run free across 400-miles from Oregon through California and into the Pacific Ocean. Featuring Sammy Gensaw (Yurok) is the Founding Director of the Ancestral Guard, Artist, Yurok Language Speaker, Singer, Writer, Cultural/Political/Environmental Activist, Regalia Maker, Mediator, Youth Leader & Fisherman. Craig Tucker has 20+ years of advocacy and activism experience, especially working with tribal members, fishermen and farmers in the Klamath Basin on dam removal, traditional fire management, gold mining, and water policy, and is the founder and Principal of Suits and Signs Consulting.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about allyship. My guest this week is Julie Kratz, founder of Next Pivot Point and a longtime inclusion and allyship strategist. Julie pulls back the curtain on why words like “inclusion” and “ally” have become so charged, what's actually legal in this space, and how leaders at every level can use the power they already have to create cultures where people belong. We explore “power with” versus “power over,” how to spot your own sources of power, and why going back to basics like trust, self-awareness and clear measurement is the most practical way forward right now. We also discuss how to meet persuadable people where they are, start with a personal why, and build momentum together instead of burning out as a lone voice. About My GuestJulie Kratz has dedicated her career to allyship and inclusion. After spending 12 years in Corporate America experiencing many career “pivot points,” due to her own lack of belonging, she started her own speaking business with the goal of helping leaders be better allies. Promoting allyship in the workplace, she helps organizations foster more inclusive environments so that everyone can feel seen, heard and belonging.Julie is a professor at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, hosts a regular Forbes column on allyship, is a frequent keynote speaker, podcast host and TEDx speaker.

Ash and Dusty discuss how ADHD traits (hyperfocus, justice sensitivity, rejection sensitivity, and perfectionism) shape the way people approach allyship. Ash opens with a vivid story about feeling unintentionally objectified at a conference after coming out as transgender, illustrating how well-meaning curiosity and requests for education can put emotional labor on the person with a marginalized identity. Dusty describes common ADHD patterns—the over-eager ally who wants to demonstrate knowledge, the panic after a misstep, and the tendency to seek drama online—and explains how those patterns can derail genuine support. Both emphasize that intention alone isn't enough: allies must match intent with respectful action. They offer practical guidance for managing capacity and making meaningful choices: focus on a few causes you can sustain, donate or volunteer locally, and pick moments where conversation can lead to real change instead of getting into futile online fights. Learn independently rather than relying on marginalized people to educate you; when interacting, meet people as people first and let them set the boundaries for how much their identity becomes the topic. Small, thoughtful actions (checking safety, providing accessible spaces, following diverse voices) often create outsized positive effects and are more valuable than performative gestures.

In this episode, host Shaesta Waiz speaks with Dr. Kimberly Perkins—787 airline pilot, research scientist at the University of Washington, and fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society—about the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion in aviation and why it matters for safety, innovation, and the next generation. Kimberly shares how DEI was often treated as a branding campaign rather than systemic change, why psychological safety is inseparable from operational safety, and how silence in the cockpit or boardroom leads to risk. She explains why inclusion should be embedded into pilot training as a required competency, why emotional intelligence belongs alongside technical skill, and how leaders can shift from “I-frame” individual fixes to “S-frame” system solutions. They discuss how DEI rollbacks reveal which organizations were truly committed, why allyship must extend to all—including men in positions of power—and the fatigue marginalized groups feel carrying the burden of proof. Kimberly closes with practical “micro-allyship” actions and advice for young women in aviation: don't conform or gaslight, strive to be an ally, and use small, consistent acts of inclusion to reshape the system itself.

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have to connect with others, and when it comes to allyship, it's essential. In this video, we're diving into the power of allyship storytelling and how sharing your own experiences can create a ripple effect of change. We'll explore why modeling the behavior you want to see is so important, and how showing vulnerability can build trust and open hearts. Discover how sharing your story, not as a hero but as a learner, can inspire others to begin their own journey of allyship. Throughout the video, we'll give you thought prompts to help you reflect on your own story and how you can share it effectively. Get ready to tap into the power of your own voice and become a more impactful ally. Allyship Storytelling Thought Prompts: What was a time you got it wrong and had to learn? What's a moment when you felt uncomfortable but chose to act as an ally anyway? Who are you committed to showing up for? What's a small step you can take today to be a better ally?
“Psychological safety is the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up. It's a shared belief that a team is safe for taking interpersonal risks.” - Amy C. Edmondson Psychological safety paired with perspective taking is a game changer for hopeful allies in power.

This episode dives into the real, often uncomfortable, fears that can hold people with power back from being allies. We confront common misperceptions, like the "zero-sum game" mentality, and the anxieties around status, relevance, and making mistakes in the workplace. Through compelling stories and expert insights, we'll expose why inclusion work can be imperfect, yet crucial. Learn to transform these fears into fuel, embracing vulnerability, curiosity, and the courage to challenge the status quo. Discover how active allyship isn't about being perfect, but about taking intentional, consistent action for a more equitable workplace for all.
In this powerful episode, Greg Morley—global DEI leader and author of Bond: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion & Connection—joins Andy to explore what it really takes to foster belonging in the workplace. Together they unpack: The difference between belonging (how we feel) and bonding (what we do). Why inclusion requires intentional action, not just good vibes or policies. How Greg's global experience across 80+ countries shaped his belief in curiosity as a leadership superpower. What happens when we honour intent, not just punish mistakes. And why real inclusion lives in the middle ground—not the extremes. If you've ever felt stuck in the performative DEI conversation or worried about “saying the wrong thing,” this is a must-listen. Practical, warm, and full of insight. ----more---- Key Takeaways Belonging is a feeling; bonding is a choice. One makes people feel included. The other drives commitment and performance. Inclusion is built through micro-behaviours. It's not a programme—it's what leaders say and do every day, especially when no one's watching. Curiosity is an underrated superpower. It builds bridges, sparks self-worth, and disarms fear—especially in tough conversations. We must reclaim the middle ground. Honouring good intent while correcting mistakes makes inclusion sustainable—not performative or punitive. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – Why Inclusion Feels Under Attack in 2025 0:04:14 – Greg Morley's Global DEI Journey 0:13:09 – The Critical Difference Between Belonging and Bonding 0:16:19 – Why Inclusion Isn't a Perk—It's a Performance Strategy 0:19:10 – Curiosity, Culture, and Conversations That Matter 0:30:32 – Making Mistakes, Owning Them, and Moving On 0:36:05 – Allyship, Advocacy, and Action in the Workplace 0:38:01 – Why DEI's Middle Ground Is Where Progress Lives 0:42:32 – Greg's 3 Sticky Notes on Inclusive Leadership ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Greg Morley on LinkedIn here Find Greg's website here Get the book: BOND here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

This podcast episode features Sarah Kernion, a writer, podcast host of "The Inchstones Podcast," and mother of two profoundly autistic, nonspeaking children. Kernion advocates for a new conversation around profound autism, focusing on neurobiological barriers and redefining advocacy to prioritize presence, effort, and dignity over milestone achievements. She emphasizes the urgent need for distinct, research-grounded discussions on profound autism, particularly regarding the disproportionate caregiving burden on mothers and its impact on their careers. Key Takeaways: Redefining Profound Autism Advocacy: Sarah Kernion champions a shift in the conversation surrounding profound autism. She highlights the need to focus on neurobiological barriers like apraxia, dyspraxia, and sensory processing disorder, advocating for research urgency, scientific rigor, and a civil rights reframing to include profoundly autistic individuals often overlooked in mainstream neurodiversity discussions. Her work redefines advocacy around presence, effort, and dignity rather than traditional milestone achievements. The Power of Maternal Intuition and Shared Stories: Kernion stresses the importance of a mother's primal intuition as a crucial "data point" in understanding and advocating for their children with profound autism. She encourages mothers to trust this inner knowing and use it to inform care and support. The conversation also underscores the power of one-on-one connections and shared stories among caregivers and within professional settings to foster understanding, reduce isolation, and build psychological safety. Addressing the Caregiving Burden and Workplace Impact: The podcast sheds light on the immense and often unsustainable caregiving demands placed on mothers of profoundly autistic children. This burden frequently leads to career plateaus or plummeting for women, highlighting a systemic problem where workplaces are not adequately set up to support these caregivers. Kernion suggests that leaders sharing their own experiences with caregiving can foster a more inclusive and understanding environment, ultimately benefiting both employees and companies.
