  • Candid Convos and Good Depth of Content

    I really appreciate Julie’s perspective and quality of guests. I am early in my transition from a passive to an “active phase” of my allyship as a business leader. I rely upon these podcasts to broaden and deepen my awareness and perspectives on this “fraught” work.

  • Julie is Leading the Diversity and Inclusion Charge. Very Inspirational

    It’s a sad but true fact, that inspite of years of research, and the clear documented bottom line benefits of more inclusive diverse leadership of women and people of color, that the US has not made much progress…

    Thank God for advocates like Julie who bring on great fellow advocates, consultants and coaches as guest that are actively engaged in helping advance more diverse leadership, especially at senior levels.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

346: The Five Stages of Male Allyship with Shawn Andrews
Q: How can organizations validate that someone has reached level five or maintained it?
Validation comes from observed behaviors: curiosity, respectful listening, active advocacy, diverse hiring and promotion, addressing biases, mentoring, and sponsorship of others, along with receiving ongoing feedback from those they support and collaborate with.
346: The Five Stages of Male Allyship with Shawn Andrews
Q: Tell us more about the starting point and what's in the way for traditionalists?
The discussion outlines two groups within level one: those who exhibit toxic masculinity and are entirely resistant to parity, and those who are resistant but not overtly toxic. Key barriers include fear of irrelevance, zero-sum perceptions, and discomfort with change, which makes them difficult to convert into active allies.
346: The Five Stages of Male Allyship with Shawn Andrews
Q: What led you to write this book?
Dr. Andrews explains that her early research on women in leadership revealed the necessity of engaging men in inclusion work; she and her co-author pursued a project to identify distinct levels of male allyship, create archetypes, and provide practical tools to move men up the continuum toward stronger, more consistent allyship.
345: Finding the Human Connection in Mental Health with Alexis Redding
Q: What are some practical strategies for advising young people who are navigating major life decisions?
She emphasizes offering multiple options and encouraging exploration instead of directing a single path, highlighting the importance of acknowledging curiosity (e.g., philosophy vs. pre-med) and reframing questions to focus on what lights someone up rather than what their supposed purpose must be.
345: Finding the Human Connection in Mental Health with Alexis Redding
Q: What was it like to deliver a TEDx talk and have that experience shape your broader work?
Alexis explains that memorizing a script for TEDx was daunting and unlike her usual speaking style, but the experience intensified the commitment to sharing authentic, emerging findings and to making conversations about mental health more accessible and less perfect-scripted.
