There may be new concerning legal precedents forcing Christian Schools to include woke gender ideology. John-Henry Westen speaks with Jack Fonseca from Campaign Life Coalition about the case of Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) trustee Michael Del Grande. Del Grande has faced significant backlash since 2019 for opposing the inclusion of gender identity and gender expression in the school board's code of conduct, a move mandated by the Ontario Minister of Education.Del Grande attempted to challenge this policy by facetiously proposing the inclusion of other behaviours considered sinful by the Catholic Church, such as bestiality and polygamy, to highlight the absurdity of the changes. This led to an intense backlash, with media campaigns accusing him of promoting hate and legal action within the board to remove him. Despite initially being found not guilty of misconduct, a second, controversial vote reversed the decision, leading to sanctions against him.Del Grande took legal action, challenging the decision in Ontario courts, but has faced setbacks due to what Fonseca describes as judicial bias. He has since appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, with Campaign Life Coalition crowdfunding his legal fees. The case could have broader implications for freedom of speech and religious rights in Canada, and a loss could set a precedent for persecuting Christian public officials.Help Catholic School Board Trustee in his time of need: https://www.lifefunder.com/helpMikeU.S. residents!

“From a very young age, girls are often taught to diminish our skills. You don't want to take too much credit, and you don't want to be too assertive, but at the same time, you have to be confident.

In this episode, we talk with Lisa Burke, the famous broadcaster, inspiring woman, and mum of 2 teenagers.During our conversation, Lisa tackles a very true, but often untold, part of the amazing journey of being a mother:  the toll it can take on your career. We all wish that we can have it all, a family, kids, career, healthy diet, time for the gym, time for friends, and even a hobby perhaps. The reality though is very different, and at some point, something, or some things, have to give. It doesn't really need to be this way, but this is the situation in which many women find themselves all too often. Unfortunately, as much as we mention it in our conversations, we hardly take a proper look at what it really means for women and what could be done to truly support women instead.Lisa offers her candid view on this subject and bravely shares her own experience in the hope of supporting other women and inspiring change-makers to embrace and address this challenge.A massive thank you to Lisa for giving voice to a struggle that too often is left to women to deal with in isolation.Find out more about Lisa:https://www.lisatoniburke.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-burke-4272276/?originalSubdomain=lu

This episode is packed with incredible knowledge, information, and insights on gender inclusion. Kristen, Vice-Chair at European Women on Boards and Former Chief DEI Officer at Barilla, shares her experience as a woman in STEM as well as a champion for gender inclusion. Kristen talks about some horror stories women face in a highly man-dominated field like STEM, like being asked to take additional tests for the same job while male candidates aren't. She also covers unintentional bias, particularly affinity bias and proximity bias.Most importantly, Kristen revolutionises the concept of quotas: moving away from the idea that quotas work with women being promoted on the pure basis of their gender regardless of their abilities, Kristen defines quotas as KPIs: it is a fact that gender inclusion brings benefits to businesses, so like any other project in business we need KPIs to define clear goals and track results. This concept involves a real commitment to seek and grow female talent within the organization and to ensure that we move from diversity to real inclusion.Find out more:About Kristen here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-anderson-aaa44a8/About European Women on Boards http://europeanwomenonboards.eu/

"He has a natural authority..."" He hit the ball with authority""He was an authority on the stock market"These are the examples that you will find if you Google the meaning of authority. None of the examples you will find use the pronoun She.This is the premise for the incredible book "The Authority Gap, why women are still taken much less seriously than men" by Mary Ann Sieghart.It's not a secret that women are more likely to need to demonstrate their expertise to be taken seriously, that they are often interrupted, talked over, challenged, and that their professional opinion is not taken into account as much as that one of their male counterparts.This has a direct impact on personal self-esteem as well as the opportunities for career progression that women have.Tune in to hear about some very concrete examples of how the authority gap displays in women's everyday life. Listen to the real-life stories of the many people that Mary Ann interviewed for her book, from prominent politicians to everyday people. Be prepared to be shocked by the findings of the studies and the stats that she shares with us. Most importantly, discover what we can all do, women and men, to reduce the gap.And if you listen to the very end, Mary Ann will share a very interesting report that should make every man want to become an active part of the solution

In this Episode Mira, a Transformational and Clarity Coach to Leaders shares with us some of the main challenges that leaders and particularly female leaders face:1. Leadership is an amplifier: leadership is about being exposed and being out of our comfort zone, which amplifies weaknesses and fears.2. Leadership is therefore an inner game, once you master your inner challenges, tackling the external one is the easy part (just Google it!)3. Women leaders be aware of bias: not just the bias that men have about women, but the ones that we women we have about ourselves: we have been raised to seek perfection and work double hard, these and others are the bias that we put on ourselves and can become stoppers and internal limitations.Mira also shares some very powerful tips on how to overcome these challenges:-> Embrace vulnerability, be human (and that will help avoid toxic leadership)-> Be kind to yourself and look after yourself-> Have a strategy or a trick for when things get hard and you would naturally return to unhealthy thoughts to catch yourself and move to a more positive spaceMira's favorite brand is Pagaonia for its strong inclusionFind out more about Mira's work here : https://www.themindtakeaway.com/https://www.themindtakeaway.com/freedom-for-senior-female-leaders

Around the world, the coronavirus pandemic has taken an especially high toll on women and girls. From public health to education to jobs and livelihoods, studies have revealed a gender disparity in the impact of COVID-19 that is particularly wide in lower- and middle-income countries. Yet for all the work that's been done, experts say there's still a lot they don't know about how these impacts are being felt across different communities. To help address this problem, the Center for Global Development recently launched a new initiative to analyze the gendered impacts of the pandemic and study policy responses around the world with the aim of addressing the long-term causes of gender inequality. The leader of the initiative, Megan O'Donnell, discussed her work with WPR's Elliot Waldman in this episode that originally ran on February 3, 2021 on the Trend Lines podcast.  Relevant Articles on WPR: The Importance of Gender Inclusion in COVID-19 Responses ‘Don't We Deserve More?'

In 2015, a report from the McKinsey Global Institute found that up to $28 trillion could be added to global GDP by 2025 if women were allowed to achieve their full economic potential. Yet according to the World Economic Forum, there are more than 70 countries where women are not allowed to open bank accounts or obtain credit. The gender gap in financial account penetration tends to be widest in certain emerging markets, like South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Middle East. Even when financial services are available to them, women often face bias and discrimination at various stages of the lending process. But the emergence of new financial technology companies and mobile credit platforms, accessible with just a few taps on a mobile phone, could change that, offering loans even to women with little or no credit history. The nonprofit Women’s World Banking recently released a report finding that, “For women, who have historically been the victims of unconscious bias in lending decisions, algorithm-enabled credit decisions could create a level playing field.” However, tapping into that potential will require addressing the myriad forms of bias that can creep into artificial intelligence algorithms. This week on Trend Lines, Mary Ellen Iskendarian, president and CEO of Women’s World Banking, joins WPR’s Elliot Waldman to discuss the promise and perils of financial technology for women’s economic empowerment.

But having seen and experienced systemic racism in financial services since childhood and knowing how few people of color are in financial services, and even fewer that are CFP professionals, Mike returned to be a role model to others and to create a business that serves people from all walks of life. In this episode, Mike shares some of the history of racism in financial services, including how insurance companies used bad science to discriminate, and shares a number of things we can all do to increase diversity, equity and inclusion within financial services and for the benefit of all. Mike also shares the importance of having a personal mission statement and a few of his favorite quotes which have stuck with me.
