How allyship is always a verb and allies do more with effective accountability with Teagan Robinson-Bell Today we have a returning guest on the show because she's just brilliant and I could talk to her all day about DEI, gender equity and inclusive cultures because it's her speciality! Teagan Robinson Bell has been Anchor's Diversity and Inclusion Manager since 2021 and has been with the housing association for nearly 6 years. She has led Anchor's inclusion agenda that supports colleagues with their career goals and personal development whilst being their authentic selves and supports residents to live lives that allow them to thrive in later life. Her ethos is that everyone's voice should be heard and that cognitive diversity allows organisations to provide great places to work and provides the best outcomes for customers. On the show today we are focusing on the importance of male allyship - the actual behaviour and difference that men can make in the workplace and beyond.  We chat about the things that can stop them doing more such as power imbalances in the workplace or this lack of self awareness about the privileges they hold. But ultimately if we can't focus on it being a moral obligation to challenge bias and discrimination - which we all hope would be the standard set, we can still link this to money and impacting the bottom line from a commercial point of view.  Listen in as Teagan shares some great advice and tips on how to deal with banter and how we can make sure that there is accountability for all allies especially those in more leadership positions. Let us know what you think and what you will be doing about it!

How accountability is the best way to build male allies in the workplace Today's guest as part of this allyship series is the incredible Josh Nesbitt.  Josh is a software engineer and technical leader based in the UK. He's been working on the web for the last 19 years, and during that time, he's worked with a wide range of clients, from indie start-ups to some of the largest organisations in the world. His work spans from hands-on projects building large platforms to leading some of the best-performing teams in the industry.

Why I am talking more about men for this years International Women's Day.   In all transparency, last IWD I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of celebrating another day filled with purple balloons, cupcakes and being told to hug ourselves.  The whole thing was starting to make me cringe.  How will all this smash the patriarchy? Now this sounds crazy to you and me both because I know how important days like this are for raising awareness - thats the whole point of awareness days / weeks / months, but that's just the thing - has it lost it's way? For me its about reminding everyone why it's still important to work on gender equity because we are still not there yet and the recent and some that seem neverending events around the world where by women and children are the ones really feeling the dire and often demoralising consequences are enough to make anyone think why bother? However this is exactly why we need to.  The time is NOW. There's a lot of despair in the world right now around women's rights and gender equity. I cannot believe what I am seeing.I feel like we are going backwards; although maybe this is what others want us to believe; in fact maybe it's just the opposite. This concerning pushback threatens bodily autonomy, sees increasing gender-based violence, and systemic barriers that hold women and marginalised communities back. So this moment is not just about defending progress; it's about driving change forward. And as change gains momentum so does pushback. And in Florence's words "It's always darkest before the dawn". And this is why I see the huge and powerful place for male allyship now more than ever.  Those men that get it.  Those men that can see the harmful impact that lack of inclusivity and equity has for women in the world.  I have started sharing male allies when I see them over on my insta stories @nomorehiningco and saving them in a highlight in case you ever need a reminder that they are out there.   Because that's the thing - No More Hiding isn't just about women being more visible, it's about everyone being more visible for the things that matter - speaking out and sharing their lived experiences and ideas about how we can be more inclusive and hear more perspectives around those decision making tables.  Thats how we make a difference and thats how change happens  So in this series we explore the crucial role male allies play in creating more equitable workplaces.  We'll dive into why male allyship is essential—not just for women's career progression, but for building healthier, more successful organizations overall. When we talk about workplace gender equality, the focus often falls on policies and initiatives. But true change doesn't happen without action—and that's where male allies come in. In this series, we'll unpack what real allyship looks like, why it's not enough to just “support” women behind the scenes, and how visibility and advocacy from men can make all the difference. Throughout the series, we'll be joined by industry leaders, workplace culture experts, and professionals who have firsthand experience with allyship in action. We'll explore the challenges, the impact, and the simple yet powerful ways men can step up in their workplaces. From amplifying women's voices in meetings to actively advocating for equal opportunities, we'll break down what meaningful allyship looks like—and why it benefits everyone. I saw a quote that struck a chord with me from Lilly tomlin and she said “ I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that..theh I realised I was somebody” So, if you're ready to learn, challenge assumptions, and take action, you're in the right place. -------------- Book a chat with Gemma - This is the place to book a call to see how Gemma can help you or your company support female leaders to raise their profile, increase performance and visibility and build more allies.   Get the White Paper > ‘Visibility at Work: The Importance of Self Promotion for Women's Career Progression   I want to hear from YOU so get in touch with me:   Connect with your host Gemma Stow: Website: https://www.gemmastow.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmastow/ LinkedIn: Business Page https://www.linkedin.com/company/no-more-hiding/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomorehidingco Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/gemmastow.bsky.social

When I facilitate conversations about inclusion and allyship with groups of women, someone inevitably says, “Men need to hear this too!” When I lead mixed-gender rooms of people through similar conversations, I am consistently heartened by how open to listening, learning, and practicing the men in the room are. In my experience, many male leaders want to be better allies, advocates, and accomplices. So, today I'm excited to talk about exactly how to make that happen! In this episode, I unpack the concept of allyship and how male allies can support women through active, meaningful engagement. I introduce a spectrum of allyship, from Allies who support but may not yet take significant action, to Accomplices who leverage their privilege to challenge oppressive systems, often at personal risk. Further along, Advocates bring visibility to issues, promoting gender equity by calling attention to injustices. And, Activists, the most visible allies, directly address social and political issues, often leading change movements to deconstruct systems of oppression. By understanding where they fall on this spectrum, men can find ways to support women in ways that go beyond token support. Allyship becomes actionable when male allies engage deeply with feedback, prioritize active listening, and amplify women's voices in their networks. True allyship requires men to listen to women's experiences and thoughtfully respond to their input, creating spaces where feedback is valued and action is taken. Allies can further their impact by recognizing their own privilege, acknowledging how it affects their perspectives, and then using it to support and advance women's visibility and credibility. When men publicly support women's ideas and contributions, they can combat the common invisibility barriers women face in leadership and contribute to a more inclusive culture. Creating inclusive environments requires men to go beyond merely designating “safe spaces.” Instead, they can work to establish trust, connection, and belonging in spaces that prioritize diverse perspectives. Furthermore, by promoting women's career advancement through mentorship and sponsorship, allies actively work against the systemic limitations placed on women's growth. Male allies who mentor women provide critical access to skills, knowledge, and networks, helping to bridge the gap to leadership positions. Ultimately, allyship is a continuous journey of learning and growth. There is no final destination. True allies engage in ongoing education around gender diversity, emotional intelligence, and inclusivity. This commitment to lifelong learning is key for allies who aim to dismantle systems that only provide advantages to select people and desire to create lasting change in their communities and organizations as part of their leadership legacy.  We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Men, we need you. If we want to continue to be a thriving, sustainable, and profitable industry, we need to get more women into this industry and strive for gender equity. The only way we are going to get there is if we have the support of male allies to help drive that change.The Changing LandscapeRecently, I was at a NAWIC event, where we were discussing and sharing stories. Someone asked me, "Is the industry changing? Are we actually seeing positive outcomes for women in the industry?" The answer isn't straightforward. There are days, weeks, and months where I see positive steps in the right direction—people engaging in meaningful conversations and initiatives gaining traction and creating positive results. But there are also times when it feels like all that hard work is being reversed. It often feels like it's two steps forward and one step back. The Role of Male AlliesWhen we talk about gender equity, we appreciate that organisations and leaders want to be seen as driving change. Most of these people have good intentions, but intentions will only get you so far.  This is where we need leadership—CEOs and executive teams to champion gender equity. Women have been advocating for changes that address systemic issues for decades with varying levels of success. But in the last 50 years, not much has shifted fundamentally. Men continue to hold the majority of positions of power, especially in the property and construction industry. The Challenges Women Face1. Gender Stereotypes: Young people perceive construction and property as spaces for men.2. The Broken Rung: The barrier where women struggle to step into that first leadership role.3. The Leaky Pipeline: The gradual loss of women through different stages of their career, particularly when considering starting families.4. The Glass Cliff: Women are more likely to be placed into leadership roles during times of crisis and instability.5. The Second Shift: Unpaid domestic labour and responsibilities that often fall on women, on top of their paid employment.Steps to Being a Male AllyHere's how you can be an effective male ally:1. Awareness: Recognise the existence of gender inequity and understand the systemic barriers.2. Advocacy: Use your voice and position to promote gender equity and push for organisational and industry change.3. Empathy: Actively listen to women's experiences and validate them without judgement 4. Concrete Action: Take tangible steps like mentoring, sponsorship, and pushing for equitable policies.5. Accountability: Hold yourself and others responsible for perpetuating the issues surrounding gender inequality.6. Continuous Learning: Stay educated on gender issues, remain open to feedback, and be prepared to adapt and change.The Long GameBeing a male ally means engaging in issues and having often hard and uncomfortable conversations to understand the real lived experiences of women in the industry. It's not a tick-box exercise or a short burst of activity. This is a long game. Show up day in and day out, hold that standard, drive change, and keep repeating until we achieve our goal. As I said, we need you.

Our special guest, Serge Albohayre, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Apply Digital, shares his unique perspective as a man who spent the majority of his career in a sector traditionally dominated by male voices. This discussion illuminated the essential role male allies play in fostering an inclusive environment and the profound impact of their support in achieving gender equality. As we unpack Serge's experiences, we confront the stark realities faced by women in tech: walking into boardrooms or meetings where they are vastly outnumbered. This episode is not just an exploration of these challenges but a rallying cry for action. Serge, drawing from his personal observations and the wisdom imparted by influential women in his life, advocates for subtle yet powerful practices of creating opportunities for women without making it about their gender. He emphasised the importance of providing a platform for women to express their ideas and opinions in a comfortable setting, thereby encouraging a more inclusive and diverse discourse. Our conversation also sheds light on the critical statistics highlighting the gender disparity in tech, with a particular focus on the underrepresentation of female-founded companies. This issue extends beyond the tech industry, touching upon broader societal norms and the need for a cultural shift towards equality. With us discussing the nuances of support, questioning the motivations behind investments and initiatives aimed at bridging the gender gap, and the importance of sincerity in these efforts. Serge's reflections on feedback and personal growth, specifically regarding communication dynamics, offer valuable insights into how we can all contribute to a more inclusive environment. His experiences underscore the importance of being mindful of our interactions and the space we create for others to share their voices. This episode is not just a conversation but a call to action for male allies to recognise their role in supporting women, challenging the status quo, and working together towards a more inclusive future. Join us in this compelling discussion that goes beyond the surface, offering both critical insights and hopeful pathways for change. And remember, your engagement and support can make a difference in creating a more inclusive tech industry and beyond. Serge AlbohayreHead of Partnerships & Business Development for EMEA at Apply Digitalhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/serge-albohayre-09b65778/Humanizing B2B by Paul Cash & James Trezonahttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Humanizing-B2B-truth-marketing-transform/dp/178860251XKatie Streethttps://www.linkedin.com/in/katiestreet/https://www.instagram.com/streetmate/ Street Agencyhttps://street.agency/https://www.instagram.com/street.agency/https://www.linkedin.com/company/streetagency/

In this episode I am joined by Leigh Walters-James who is a Managing Director with Accenture in the UK. Leigh is an advocate for inclusion and diversity and sponsor of the Accenture Accent on Gender and MenoWarriors initiatives within the UK. Leigh's colleagues Jill Ross and Sarah Garton were interviewed here on the podcast last year to talk about what Accenture has been doing to move the needle on menopause in the workplace, and having met Leigh in person, I'm delighted that he agreed to come on and talk to me about the role of male allyship. Given that Accenture has been so proactive on the topic of menopause for many years now, Leigh has lots of learning to share, including: how important it is for men to learn about menopause so they can recognise if and when it impacts someone in their team; discuss it openly and often to help normalize it as a topic of conversation; share progress and best practice across office locations, and with customers where appropriate;  don't overthink it too much - just start somewhere - where that is will be different for each organization so do it in a way that works where you are; culture may not be as much of a barrier as you think it will; get comfortable being uncomfortable - listen for more on Leigh's tips for involving male colleagues in the conversations; the critical role of male sponsors and top-down support; don't ‘segregate' sessions into those for just women or just men; breaking down the taboo also opens the door for men to be open and honest about their own health/mental health challenges, and their vulnerabilities: it's a win-win; becoming a ‘go to guy' for menopause can get you a lot of attention at parties!    Most, if not all, of these apply whatever the size of the organization - or available budget. If you'd like to catch up with the earlier episode with Sarah and Jill, you can find it at https://middlingalong.com/episodes/middling-along-jill-ross-and-sarah-garton-on-developing-a-community-of-menowarriors-at-accenture/ You can also find us over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and you can listen to past episodes at https://middlingalong.com     Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle, for fortnightly goodness into your Inbox: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share    We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/   It would mean so much if you'd subscribe, rate, and review us to share the love and help others find the podcast too!  You can also find me at https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause  or at www.managingthemenopause.com where we offer 1-1 coaching and workplace training.  Get our free 'Guide to your GP appointment' at https://www.managingthemenopause.com/free-resources 

Men still dominate the ranks of corporate leadership, which means they have an integral role to play in making workplaces more equitable for everyone. But they often underestimate the bias women face and overestimate their own efforts to confront it. Lindsay talks to Dr. Bill Kapfer, who leads JPMorgan Chase's Men as Allies program, about the business benefits of allyship and how men can be active participants in achieving gender equity at work.

With personal experiences as a woman pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention and a victim of abuse, Lori candidly shares her reaction to what she witnessed.

We are doing something a little different on the podcast today – we are joined by our first-ever male guest!  Host Kathleen McInnis sat down with Ambassador Donald Steinberg, the former U.S. Ambassador to Angola, among countless other roles. Ambassador Steinberg discussed his role in the 1994 Angola Peace Accords and how the decision to exclude women ultimately led to the failure of the peace process.     Additionally, Ambassador Steinberg discussed Mobilizing Men as Partners for Women, Peace, and Security (MAWS), which argues that men must be part of the solution when it comes to implementing the Women, Peace, and Security agenda. 

In this episode, Nichole focuses on the power of meditation and deep breathing for gaining more male allies in the workplace. She encourages listeners to take a few minutes to calm their breathing and relax their bodies in order to create a space for reflection and self-awareness. Nichole guides listeners through a meditation session, prompting them to focus on their breath and release any tension or stress they may be holding onto. She asks listeners to reflect on their day and their emotions without judgment, and to become present in their bodies and the moment. She then asks listeners to envision a future version of themselves who has built strong relationships with male allies in the workplace. She encourages them to imagine how these male allies are supporting them, whether as mentors, sponsors, or advocates for their promotion or projects. Nichole emphasizes the importance of clear communication with male allies and the willingness to share vulnerabilities in order to build deeper connections. Nichole leads listeners in affirmations, encouraging them to believe in their worthiness, confidence, and ability to communicate their needs with male allies. She reminds them that building relationships takes time and practice, but it is a valuable skill that can lead to a better work environment. She encourages listeners to take moments for deep breathing and self-care when feeling stressed at work, and to remember that tomorrow is always a new day to do better. As the meditation comes to an end, Nichole prompts listeners to come back to their physical awareness by wiggling their toes and opening their eyes if they had closed them. She encourages them to recognize the benefits of meditation and deep breathing in building relationships with male allies and creating a more supportive workplace environment.

On today's episode of HERO, the last show of the season, we look at how a Women for Women International program in the Democratic Republic of Congo worked with families to try to overcome longstanding cultural barriers to women owning land. We hear from a mother, father, and son who participated in this program. Also, Women for Women International's country director in the DRC, Rachel Boketa, explains how this project attempted to change men's and boy's opinions about female property ownership. Special thanks to Francis Shok Mweze, who acted as our field producer for this segment.   Boketa's program was supported with a grant from the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID. The U.S. currently gives more money to international development than any other country in the world, largely through USAID. In the second part of the episode, host Reena Ninan talks to Isobel Coleman, the deputy administrator of USAID. Coleman explains why the Biden administration is doubling funding towards gender programming and how USAID plans to invest that financing. This conversation first took place at Foreign Policy's Her Power Summit, an annual gathering all about women's leadership.  Finally, we are conducting a listener survey to better understand what you like about the podcast and what else you'd like to hear in future episodes.

Abortion was on the ballot in this week's midterm elections and the results were emphatic: Voters, even in conservative states, want abortion rights over abortion bans.This election featured the most ballot measures on abortion in a single U.S. election. Vermonters voted by a more than 3-to-1 margin to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. California and Michigan also approved constitutional protections for abortion. Voters in Kentucky and Montana defeated anti-abortion ballot measures. And in August, voters in Kansas rejected a ballot measure that would have amended the state Constitution to say it contains no right to an abortion. “Abortion won,” said Oren Jacobson, co-founder and co-executive director of Men4Choice, a national prochoice advocacy group that organizes male allies.Politicians “who attempted to mess around with people's intimate decision making in that way should really take a message here … that people do not want their lives to be interfered with,” said Felicia Kornbluh, professor of history and gender, sexuality and women's studies at the University of Vermont and vice chair of Planned Parenthood of Vermont Action Fund.“They want to be able to choose when and whether and under what circumstances to have children. And that means access to abortion. It means access to contraception. It means access to vasectomy procedures if people want that. It means access to a full range of reproductive health care no matter who you are — if you're in a same sex relationship, no matter what your gender identification is. We want that freedom. It's a bedrock freedom, and I think it's time that everybody in the political system recognizes that and take it as the kind of high value that it really is.”Jacobson argued that it is essential to enlist men and other allies to protect reproductive rights. One in five men in the U.S. have impregnated someone who has had an abortion. "About half of these men already had children and supported ending the pregnancy to better provide for their existing family," according to one report. Jacobson said that men are typically passive supporters of reproductive rights, and that has to change. “The mere act of men speaking up and lending their voices will normalize the idea (of abortion). This is to shift the culture and bring the majority of men who are pro-choice more actively in this fight. So I think it's really important that guys do share their story and do raise their voices.”Three Vermont men shared their abortion stories on this episode of the Vermont Conversation.Carl Werth of Waterbury Center recalled when his college girlfriend became pregnant. “She did not want to carry a baby, and neither of us wanted to be responsible for one. … If we had had to have the child, if it was a forced birth as they say, I think it would have dramatically changed the path of both of our lives.”Werth said of the role that men should have in an abortion, “100% they should be supporting what the woman wants to do. Because it's her body. Period.”Jon Williams, a grandfather in Waterbury Center, said he and his wife decided to have an abortion when they were in their 20s. He said the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade is “absolutely nuts.”“A lot of women and families are in the position where an unplanned pregnancy could be absolutely devastating to the family. It's just such a fundamental right,” Williams said.David Bolger, a school teacher from Moretown, is unapologetic about the abortions that he and his girlfriend had in college. “I don't feel regret it at all,” Bolger said.He and his girlfriend Amy broke up after college but got married 20 years later. “That was when we were really so ready and able and capable to do a good job … at raising a family,” he said. “And we have.”“It was Amy's right to choose, and we talked a long time about it. And I absolutely supported her in that decision, and I'm glad. I still have no regrets about that whole thing,” Bolger said.

In honour of International Women's Day, I'm here to give ideas of ways that you can support women in leadership roles.  There can be a number of reasons why there are less women than men in leadership roles.   Data from the House of Commons found that companies led by women outperform those led by men - but despite this, we're very far from achieving gender parity in the workplace I share information about  Break the Bias Unconscious biases, opinions, beliefs are formed early in our childhood.  We learn these from family, friends, people of authority that are social messaging about boys and girls.   Encouraging women to pursue leadership roles and supporting those who are already leaders is beneficial for the workplace as a whole.   Improve Confidence Many women don't apply for specific leadership positions so work to improve confidence can be really helpful at this level.   Improve Language When I say this I mean changing the way that we are speaking up / giving time to be heard / not talking over the top of people Establishing meeting etiquettes to ensure everyone is treated fairly during meetings, that all have the opportunity to speak and be heard. Listen for the story I share about how I had to have conversations about language being used so that I could keep a strong mindset about the work I was doing.   Male Allies and Cheerleaders are hugely important and I talk a little about this too.   Mentoring Coaching Women's Networks Are all important factors and get in touch if you want more info on my services for these but listen in to how these are different and how they can help support women in leadership.   Finally, Pay the same – if you're not closing the gender pay gap then you're missing one big thing.   Companies with female leaders perform better than those led by males, House of Commons data has revealed.

Gender equality isn't just about women; it's about all of us. But while genuine equity is good for women and men, men are often absent from these conversations. This episode focuses on men's engagement in gender equality, bringing you the highlights from an April 2021 Women's Leadership Forum exploring this issue. Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, is joined by David Smith, Associate Professor of Sociology in the College of Leadership and Ethics at the U.S. Naval War College, and W. Brad Johnson, Professor of Psychology in the Department of Leadership, Ethics and Law at the United States Naval Academy.  Drs. Smith and Johnson, authors of the Harvard Business Review books Athena Rising and Good Guys, provide the “how to” for men, women, and organizational leaders who want to be intentional, inclusive, and excellent allies, leveraging mentorship, sponsorship, and workplace partnership to create a more diverse workforce.*This episode was recorded on April 9, 2021.Support the show (https://www.usu.edu/uwlp/get-involved/donate)

Men can be powerful forces when it comes to creating an equal playing field for women. From creating safe environments for women to speak up, to educating colleagues, to kicking down the doors that allow the real and needed work to happen, there are many roles a man can play. Learn from Rear Admiral Jim Macleod on how he has empowered his team to drive positive changes for gender diversity in the British Military and how this is lifting the entire organization.

In honour of Men's Health Week, we sat down with Wil Prakash Fujarczuk from McMaster University to discuss men's experiences of sexual violence.

When you hear the words diversity, equity and inclusion, white male is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, white male leaders offer an important, and perhaps less heard, voice in discussions about transforming organizational culture to support the success of all diverse talent. This advocacy journey is not always linear, but white male allies play a critical role in providing mentorship, resources and opportunity to make their organizations—and leaders—more diverse and inclusive. On this episode of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman is joined by Greg Jordan, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer at PNC Financial Services and Joe Dougherty, CEO and Managing Director of Buchanan. The three will offer their personal successes and missteps, and what they are doing every day to foster organizational change and create truly inclusive workplaces.

Although Utah research has shown that there has been slight progress in terms of women and leadership in some sectors, national sources continue to rank Utah as one of the worst states for women's equality. Clearly there is still work to be done to “move the needle” so that more Utah women become leaders. Research continues to show that most managers and top leadership teams do not fully realize the value of having women in key positions. Yet, organizations benefit more when both women and men hold top positions in all types of settings (e.g., business, government, political, nonprofit, education, religious, and community).*This episode was originally released on May 30, 2019.Support the show
