In today's episode, Fiona and I explore the nuances in how far organisational culture has come in cultivating a more integrated, fully human aspect to managing people, cultures and encouraging a strong sense of purpose for individuals in the workplace.
We touch on how the is NOW for fully integrating both the masculine and the feminine within individuals and organisations but also how to support men in stepping into an era where they can show a more tender, vulnerable side and be strong a the same time.
