About

In a safe learning environment, men will be able to understand the mechanism people have that causes them to pre-judge. They will look at how this mechanism creates gender-related bias and what all individuals can do to reduce the bias. 
Gender-related bias is: 

  • Common
  • Generally unintentional
  • Not exclusive to men
  • A barrier to women’s leadership progression
  • Destructive in the workplace

In facilitated discussions, participants will explore ways to move past bias and build a work environment that is more inclusive.

Learning Outcomes Following the session, participants will:

  1. Understand the subtle ways that societal messaging and norms impact perceptions of women, and limit how women see themselves and the opportunities available to them 
  2. Understand the ways in which they may personally hold and contribute to gender-related bias and how that bias may impact their own behaviour
  3. Understand how gender-related bias puts pressure on men to be leaders and limits choice
  4. Implement some key actionable takeaways that are personal to them, that will allow them to champion change and improve outcomes for their organization and their life

Philip Cox-Hynd

Philip is creator of the ‘Change by choice’ methodology, an educator, consultant, mindfulness teacher and world-renowned facilitator of personal growth, interpersonal communication and relationships.

Over the last 30 years Philip has been enabling people to understand and accelerate their ‘personal development’, and this lifelong passion for self-understanding, inter-personal communication and relationships inspired him to create the Techniques for Living courses in order to share his wisdom and guidance with a wider online audience.

Philip led his first large-scale personal development seminar in 1986, and by 1990, delegates had asked him to take ‘What it is to be human including effective communication’ into the companies they worked for.
This led Philip to adapt the cutting-edge material and techniques used in the personal development seminars, making it more appropriate for bringing about change to managers, leaders and company culture.

For 30 years, through his change implementation company Harley-Young, Philip led cultural change programs in client companies that was choice-led, not imposed. The resultant level of engagement enabled change to stick.

This choice-led approach learned in his personal development days as applied to individuals, is something Philip is now returning to as society has changed such that there is increasingly little distinction between being an effective human being in the workplace or the non-workplace. Noticing this shift in attitudes to emotional intelligence, wellbeing and effective communication in all walks of life resulted in Techniques for Living.
