Description

“Gender equity starts at home.”

Leadership Coach and Parent Advocate, Claudia Timmermans wants to start an intentional parenting revolution.

Our workplaces have not evolved enough to support working parents.
While many organizations are leading the way, many are stuck in outdated policies and norms that penalize the working parent.

But there’s something more at play here. Our systems of parenting are outdated as well for many.

Intentional parenting is not just a way to bring fairness and equity into parenting, it’s a path to gender equity in the workplace and elsewhere.

In this episode, Claudia answers the following questions:
- What is gender equity?
- What is intentional parenting?
- What are ways the workplace can be more supportive to parents?
- Why does gender equity start at home?

My favorite quote from the episode: “Gender equity begins at home.”

Powerful, simple, logical.

What I know to be true about the episode: Claudia speaks from a deeply held and deeply rooted sense of fairness that is palpable to all. I am excited to see the work she leads in this space.

What I learned from the episode: Equity is not just valuable in spaces where people from different communities engage, and maybe more importantly, it’s a framework to teach those within our communities the value for all to engage within.
