A groundbreaking framework to build allyship and create more inclusion.

Male allyship is critical in attaining any kind of parity in today’s organizations. Men are a key piece of the DEI puzzle and must support both women and people of color to help close gender and racial gaps in leadership positions. However, men’s commitment spans across a wide spectrum – ranging from complete resistance to all in.

There are 5 levels of support which will be outlined in this presentation. There’s a chronic lack of allies for women, and many men are not the allies they think they are. The good news is there are several things that men can do to be better allies for their colleagues.

We’ll discuss how men can assess where they are on the allyship spectrum, what motivators drive each level, and how women can identify allies based on their needs. We’ll explore recent data, real-world examples, and dozens of strategies for personal and professional growth.

Join leadership, gender and inclusion expert, Dr. Shawn Andrews, as she explains the 5 levels of allyship and how to use these skills to foster more gender and racial inclusion and help men and women work better together.
