Ep 158 - Gender Equity Relies on Positive Role Modelling for Our Boys

Episode 158

What happens when our young boys have positive, male role models? They learn the lessons of respect, kindness and equity. Let's talk about this vital topic today.

In this episode I am sharing a personal story.

My son is 8 and he plays football (soccer) with his mates three times a week. Not only is he improving his football skills, he is also cementing his learning to be a good kid - and ultimately a good man. How? Because the lead coach at his club is a natural leader and one who (seemingly) effortlessly earns the respect of the other coaches, the kids and the parents.

This is such an important topic and one I hope you'll listen to til the end. Comment by becoming a member of my free facebook group!


Here's something valuable I said today:

"One of the important factors that often gets forgotten when we talk about creating an equitable world is the value and importance of the work that has to go into coaching and supporting our young boys. What kinds of people do we want our boys to look up to and want to emulate?" (Rebecca Allen, host of Her Ambitious Career - The Podcast)
