We engage men in creating equitable cultures through healthy, inclusive masculinity and heart-based leaders.
About us
OUR MISSION We stand for healthy masculinity being a core driver for the modern-day male leader. Our entire focus is on the business value of creating a full partnership between women and men. Traditional diversity approaches have focused on equity (actions and treatment of others) and equality (equal rights, treatment, etc.). Partnership goes beyond equity and equality to create powerful synergies by leveraging the differing competencies of men and women.

Many are striving to build competence, and confidence, to step up, and speak up, but are afraid to say the wrong thing, feeling guilty or even targeted and blamed as the problem. This conference is a space free of shame or blame where people can examine and overcome toxic notions of humanity and understand their roles and responsibilities in fostering inclusion, equality, and diversity. Day 2 will provide a safe space to practice the tools and techniques learned on Day 1, guided by experienced facilitators. This will be a rare opportunity to exercise empathy muscles and utilize new language, learning with and through each others’ stories and experiences. Participants will roll up their sleeves and dig into simulated experiences derived from the day-to-day experience of an aspiring inclusive leader. They will leave with greater knowledge, familiarity, and comfort with their own leadership gaps and goals. Topics include: - Inclusive Feedback - Leadership Interventions (Call In vs. Call Out) - Courageous Conversations - Key Attributes of Inclusive Leadership Register here today: https://lnkd.in/gaQv8VsZ In partnership with Jennifer Brown of Jennifer Brown Consulting.

Being an inclusive leader requires an understanding of how to create trust and generate positive outcomes across differences, as well as the skills necessary to build safe spaces where everyone can contribute fully. For many, this is unfamiliar and sometimes intimidating territory, and avoidance of the topic and the perceived risks of engagement are barriers to much-needed development. On Day 1 of the Better Together Conference, we’ll provide the space and tools to reflect, learn, and create new pathways so that participants can feel more confident, resilient, and competent in conversations and actions that create more inclusive environments. Topics include: - Building Trust Across Difference - Understanding and Leveraging Your Privilege - Five States of Men - Empathetic Listening - Inclusive Leader Continuum - Activating Your Allyship Register here today: https://lnkd.in/g__qiPgn In partnership with Jennifer Brown of Jennifer Brown Consulting.

In order for there to be successful DEI initiatives that support cultures of belonging, men must not only be part of them, they need to be included. This requires that we all seek to understand men. Over 24 years ago, I had my first true authentic experience of real men. I was amidst a wake up call in my life…a marriage break up and a business partner betrayal all in the span of 6 weeks, and I was fortunate enough to have another man in my life reach out to me. He was a manager in the financial services industry. He actually called me out on my behavior, and what happened behind the closed door of his office is still fresh in my mind. It was the way he gave me the feedback…it sounded eerily similar to my wife’s feedback and this caught my attention. I shared my observation with him and I waved my white flag of surrender and said, “I need to do something about this because this is not the man I want to be.” My manager encouraged me to attend a men’s weekend, an initiation into healthy manhood. I was so desperate that I decided to go. The men staffing that weekend were in their hearts, they spoke the truth, they listened, they supported me, and they taught me about accountability. They taught me how to connect to my emotions and offered me a “rewrite” on what it meant to be a man. I left feeling awake and alive for the first time and joined a men's group (the ‘emotional gymnasium’ as I call it) and here I am, 24 years later, 57 men's weekends, and 16 Better Man Conferences. I think it's fair to say that I have a pretty good understanding of men. It’s my desire to want to reach out to and connect to all men to include them that has me writing this blog in particular. When I embarked on my learning journey in the Diversity Equity and Inclusion field, I spoke to lots of DEI professionals. I spoke to hundreds of men and women. As I replayed the conversations in my head, what came to me was what I now refer to as the Five States of Men. At this year’s Better Together Conference, we will take a closer look at these states along with what are the lived experiences of executives that do not identify as men. We will also hear from other male executives who are leading the way inside their organizations through the creation of Employee Resource Groups, also referred as ERGs, specific to men.
