Masculine workplace norms are hurting everyone — not just women. 👇
This Forbes piece is worth a read, and it connects directly to something I talk about constantly in my work.
If you've heard me talk about MotherMind Transform lately — and that's a lot of you these past few weeks, hi 👋 — you've heard me say that my dream for this program is bigger than individual transformation.
Yes, I want every Scientist Mom who goes through it to emerge with a holistic, sustainable leadership identity and a well-practiced coaching skill set. But that's not where it ends.
The real dream is that they take those skills and identities back into their institutions and start shifting the culture of academic medicine for those coming up behind us.
And it turns out, that matters more than ever. As the article notes, Gen Z ranks work-life balance and mental health as their top concerns when evaluating employers and jobs. If academic medicine wants to attract and retain the next generation of scientists and clinicians — a workforce that is critically at risk, especially right now — we have to build something worth staying for. The current culture isn't working for too many people.
The good news? I personally know about 85 scientists, scholars, and leaders — MotherMind Transform current scholars and alums, I'm looking at you 😉 — who are already doing exactly that. Eighty-five people carrying a different way of leading back into their labs, their departments, their institutions.
That's not a small thing. That's how culture changes. 💛
Interested in becoming part of that culture change? We still have a few spots left for the July cohort of MotherMind Transform.
Schedule a call with me before June 24th to secure your spot — and become one of the next generation of scientist leaders leading the charge.
