Tech Society 031 - So Let's Talk About Heels

Published: Aug. 21, 2020, 7 a.m.

"Have you ever tried to do a cartwheel, ride a bike or climb a tree in a skirt 2 inches below the knees?"
Michelle Redfern joins John and Alex from Ninja Software to speak about gender equity and inclusion, not only in the workplace and sporting fields but in all aspects of our day-to-day life.
It starts earlier than you think, from toy stores to school uniforms - everyone has a part to play in shaping the social norms for our next generation of young boys and girls.
 
Michelle is determined to contribute to achieving global gender equality in her lifetime, primarily through her research and advocacy work in the corporate world and the sporting industry.  Join us to hear the origin story and opinions of the mind behind 'Advancing Women in Business and Sport', an enterprise providing research and advisory services on equality, inclusion and gender diversity.
 
The road to change is built with more than boys with 'Tonka' trucks.
Hear Michelle's take on the power of subliminal gender roles that are present from childhood; and tips on how you can make changes in your workplace by rethinking your advertising and recruitment campaigns.
 
So, what is your role in the change we want to see?
