Ian Dinwiddy is the founder of Inspiring Dads, a coaching and mentoring business, specialising in working with men who want to be great dads and have great careers.

Ian believes strongly that supporting Dads with their work and life balance, normalising flexible working and parental leave has powerful benefits for improving well-being and retention, building diverse and inclusive workplaces and closing the gender pay gap.

Talking to Ian was like having a conversation with a kindred spirit. We covered a lot of topics from why he started his organization, that dads can do any type of caring except breastfeeding to why a time of solo parenting is important for dads. Ian also spoke about the identity of being a full time carer dad and how male role models are important for other dads – using Bill Gates' as an awesome example. Ian explained how he educates people about being a dad carer one person at a time, the importance of flexible work and his talk at Flexpo on September 16th. Last but certainly not least he gave examples of soft skills he has learned as a carer and talked about the importance of shared family goals.

Katharina Wiench & Esther Himmen have been a tandem, joint leadership experts and tandem coaches since 2016. Together they lead the consulting and coaching firm „pairforming" (with ‚ai'). As experienced managers, both have successfully led projects and teams for many years. Two strong women, without the quest for self-glorification, yet with the purpose of revolutionizing the image of leadership. Katharina Wiench ("Dipl. Kauffrau") has a long track record as a versatile manager in different industries - from 24-7 call centers to personnel management and with a strong focus on developing innovative organization design models. She has coached leaders and facilitated organizations as an external expert for more than a decade. Her areas of expertise are agile leadership, performant company cultures and good governance. In her PhD research she laid the ground for better understanding the complex relation between diversity and leadership. Esther Himmen (M. Sc. Business Psychology) looks back on several years of management experience in medium-sized companies (chemical industry and non-for-profit sector) with focus on group-wide, international organization development and change management. Her scientific research regarding the interest in TopSharing built the basis for the current qualitative JointLeadership research of pairforming among TopSharing tandems and their stakeholders in various industries and functions. Since many years, Esther has been fully committed to making innovative work and management models better known and advising people who are interested in TopSharing.

Esther and Katharina enjoy supporting clients in German or in English to implement the TopSharing work model successfully in their organizations. Help with the introduction of TopSharing can be done via consulting, tandem coaching, workshops & seminars in an online as well as an offline format.

Prof. Dr. Eleonore Soei-Winkels teaches industrial and occupational psychology at FOM in Germany. She has won lecturing awards in 2017 & 2020 and was nominated as a "Professor of the year" in the unicum competition 3 times since 2016.

Elli has a diploma in psychology and a PhD in Neuroscience. She is also a certified systemic management coach and has worked in IT consulting and strategy with Accenture.

Her passion is to develop people and to make them realize what they are able to accomplish. She uses her diverse background to teach students, leaders and professors through multi-didactic methods.

In our conversation we touched on many of the four main aspects of the Job Sharing and Beyond podcast conversations to create a more diverse workforce and thus lead to gender equality faster. – Flexible working, fathers & care, returning professionals and transferable business skills from unpaid care.

For example, Elli talks about how job-sharing can happen in unusual ways. She also shares using another flexible working method, asynchronous working.

More and more business leaders are interested in reducing secret parenting. Equally sharing unpaid care work will help create more role models for their employees. Elli's method of sharing and talking about her life work balance with her students follows the same line and it also teaches them great life skills. Additionally, Elli's diverse academic and professional background enables her to provide the students with scientific and psychological information about being a parent.

Elli also spoke about the benefits for organizations about hiring a Quereinsteiger, someone with a non-linear background. Many returners often fall into this general category, so that was very insightful to hear.
