In preparation for the talk I am giving on Thursday, I have looked at some additional talks and videos to help me immerse myself in the topic, which is about business culture and inequality for MEN!

I have had some feedback along the lines of 'what are you going to talk about? Men don't face inequality!!' 'what do you mean inequality for men?!!' and 'I am looking forward to seeing where you go with this one!!!' eye-rolling and exclamation marks popping!

The truth is business cultures are changing, we are becoming more open to the idea of allowing vulnerability into the workplace, and that goes against centuries of teaching of what it is to be a man.

How are we helping boys grow into men who can connect with their emotions and their vulnerability? What are we doing to support men to change from a culture of 'manning up' to a culture where it is OK to say they are not OK?

75% of su***des are male, this statistic has remained constant year on year, now the burden of proof for su***des no longer relies on 'beyond reasonable doubt', and calls for 'the balance of probabilities,' more deaths are being recorded as su***de.

In 2018 in the UK 6,507 lives were lost to su***de, this equates to one every 1.5 hours.

What are you doing in your workplace to combat the around and what are you doing to provide opportunities for the men in your business to ask for help?

If you want to get in on the conversation join us at The One Group in Northampton on Thursday
