Dan Mahle On The ManKind Podcast: The Wholehearted Way To Equity
I was recently featured as a guest on the ManKind Podcast hosted by Boysen Hodgson: The Wholehearted Way To Equity - Working With White Men | Dan Mahle | Ep. 087. I’ve included Hodgson’s intro below:
What are the pitfalls / paradoxes / possibilities / risks / benefits of engaging in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work as a White man?
Dan Mahle is man I’ve been following in the ManKind Project for a decade. He’s always stood out to me because of his integrity in leadership, his truth-telling, and his compassion with Wholeheartedness.
We sat down to talk about his work with organizations and teams on building equitable culture, especially working with white men.
It starts with knowing who we are … cultivating our innate sense of value and significance.
What does it look like to lean into the resistance that many white men have around equity work?
Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells around this conversation?
Dan has some incredible insights around how to move beyond this old frame.
