A Dog Called Diversity

Bloke Coaching...with Iain Schmidt


Listen Later

In this episode, we sat down with Iain Schmidt, executive coach, speaker and facilitator who shared his transformative journey to redefine male allyship and inclusion. Iain opened up about his motivations, his desire to be a better role model for his children, and the societal stereotypes he aims to challenge for a more inclusive future.

Iain also went on to explain the complex emotions tied to male privilege, from being applauded for chores to the various stages of denial and anger men often experience. He introduces the grief model as a powerful tool for men to understand and process their privileges and biases. We also touch on systemic issues that allow toxic leaders to thrive and the lack of inspirational male role models, highlighting Iain's belief that true change requires a shift from mere behavioral guidelines to deep, genuine mindset changes.

Iain then shares insights from his own experiences, emphasizing the importance of continuous self-improvement and self-reflection. From challenging the low standards men often set for themselves to advocating for a mindset of abundance over scarcity, Iain’s journey offers valuable lessons for anyone committed to fostering gender equality. Tune in to hear this compelling story and actionable steps towards the fight for a more equitable world.
