Episode Description
Today we have five guests on our subject of motherhood exploring the cost of this to women, the lost opportunities and how a new narrative is being created about maternity leave and women returning to work. This is a great follow-on from previous conversations about the Feminisation of Business because achieving greater equality at the top of organisations is very much hampered by women leaving the talent pipeline that serves those executive positions. Taking time out for motherhood is obviously a key factor. My conversations will be with Prof Shelley Correll from the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford Universit: Indra Adnan of the Soft Power Network, a specialist in ‘new’ transformational politics, London: Andrea Vitullo, co-author of Maternity is the Master and CEO of Inspire, based in Milan, Italy: Dr Giorgia Arnaboldi, CEO Shell Germany: and finally Dr Kaouthar Darmoni, asst Professor of Gender and Media in the Netherlands.
The Rise of the Feminine
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel
There are huge shifts happening globally that not only involve the rise of women but also the rise of feminine values in men and, in women, which are re-shaping our collective future.
We discover more and more women coming into their own, finding their unique purpose. In this surge for equality, some men may fear they will be displaced, but in reality, we’ll see how this is a movement that is more about a shared vision for a re-balancing of the planet. It’s not about women taking over but women standing alongside men in their rightful place.
The question for many male leaders is how to integrate this new female power in organizations and fully understand that the shifts happening in their businesses, and politics are an embracing of new feminine values that will not only help them to adapt but also to thrive. This is a space where we can explore and bring together the conversations about what is emerging around the world as we witness shifts in power.
