Season 1, Ep 5: How Male Allies Can Lean In for Measurable Gains to Achieve Parity

 
 

Women are frequently encouraged to “lean in,” but we can only lean in so far before we lose our balance. Men, we need you to lean in as allies and meet us halfway because we cannot achieve parity without you. In this episode, we teach allies how to be effective by being mentors, sponsors,  partners, and collaborators with women, and we guide women on how to identify and partner with male allies.
