In my latest YouTube video I discuss an important topic: changes that need to take place in verbal communication during dance classes. Are we aware of the power that the words we use have over our students? Do we objectify our students, even though we had no intention of doing so? This conversation needs to start NOW! Help me going towards more equality in dance by sharing this video and subscribing to my YouTube channel. #dance #danceteacher #inclusivelanguage #latindance #language #communication #values #meaning #dance #dancesport #teachingdance #danceteaching #dancestudio #inclusivity #inclusivitymatters #trauma #prevention #equality #equalityandjustice #equalitymatters #gender #genderequality #genderneutrality #genderneutral #ballroomdance #rumba

Male. Female. So much pressure to BE. To just be. There isn’t pressure though to consider an option to relearn your truth… to change your learning and aim for some equal areas. Just a small shift in perspective can make a huge impact. That’s possibly the challenge with diversity, equity & inclusion. Each of these are equally important. The balance. So it’s not - women against men, it’s not men are less important. It’s about the opportunities for women that haven’t been on the table before, AND opportunities for men that haven’t been on the table before. If this video resonates with you as a woman or a man or transitioning… if this resonates with you as a HUMAN, and it makes you feel something - be part of the change to work on equality. It’s a really good example for practical perspective…. https://lnkd.in/gYXwzkbT

“Let’s close the dream gap” ♥️♥️ This video is so powerful, it compelled me to share it here.. Such a powerful message for gender equality. If you have a daughter, a niece, a granddaughter. If you are a leader, CEO, change maker. Then please watch this!

🚨 Unmasking Inequality: A Must-Watch Video 🚨 This eye-opening video, flipping the script and posing questions typically aimed at female athletes to their male counterparts, is a sharp reminder of the disparities we need to address. This issue transcends sports—it echoes everywhere, at work, in organization, in boardrooms, startups, and VC pitches. Respect, gender equity, equality, and diversity are not just buzzwords; they're the keystones of a thriving ecosystem. Without it we will continue to operate with blind spots that devalue half of the population and major players in the ecosystem. Innovation flourishes when everyone has a seat at the table. Let's make equal opportunities and fair treatment the norm, not the exception. ✨ #DEI #Equality #DiversityMatters #Inclusivity #genderequity

I love this representation of the #dreamgap and how so many girls are still treated differently to boys. Many parents probably don't even realise they are doing it. What this short video doesn't touch on, which would make a great follow-up, is the different approaches females often take to #problemsolving. The female perspective is proven to be vital to create more balanced solutions. Women are naturally more risk averse and can take a longer term perspective, whereas in general men are focused on instant reward and value high growth more than strategic and considered relationship-building. This bias continues through education and employment because even though many don't realise it with so-called workplace #equality, there is still a tangible sense that the male way of doing things is the 'right' or only way. Gender equality is about so much more .... #female #womeninbusiness #womenineducation #genderequality #women #SDG5 #equalopportunities #girls #education #careers #EDI https://lnkd.in/ewbPm-eg

The Dream Gap #TheBarbieDreamGapProject GIRLS BELIEVE THEY CAN BE ANYTHING, BUT DOES THE WORLD? Barbie has been working to close the gap that comes between girls and their full potential. The Dream Gap for young girls still exists, but new research shows the challenges don’t lie in girls lacking self-confidence or drive — the gaps often occur in the world around them. Even though progress has been made toward gender equality, stereotypes and societal biases still exist that can affect a girl’s trajectory and future choices. The Barbie Dream Gap Project is a global mission dedicated to closing the gap by challenging gender stereotypes and helping undo the biases that hold girls back from reaching their full potential.

Storytelling can and should be used to elevate our collective narratives. This is a beautiful reflection of that.

What does Gender Equality Mean in family, community , etc and how far you show it in your behavior and action? Recently there were posts on Facebook on parents cracking eggs on head/forehead of their children with lots of laughter; link below https://lnkd.in/dByb4i7a Put aside, the cruel action which sometimes really hurt the child as force of cracking is hard, which I can sense the pain and do not accept this behavior/act but while watching it almost five times to capture about human behavior, found perhaps some positive point/learning from this video clip! If you watch it carefully, will notice majority of boys are laughing at the scene or indifferent and really take it as a funny joke or look at from different perspective, does this mean that boys /future men we accept violence more naturally? However, this is not valid in girls - did not see even one case- and they take this cracking egg on their head as "kind of" intrusion of privacy and insult or misuse of their personality and they respond immediately verbally or physically! What I learn from it, in work place, we - male gender- must be very conscious and consider carefully our verbal or even physical behavior - e.g. patting on the shoulder as sign of support or even high FIVE- toward our female colleagues. Although there are high standard of equality in workplace and we all should follow BUT there is/are undeniably differences that we should diligently not only being aware of, BUT respectfully act on them as already almost over 20 years ago John Gary in his famous book of "Men from Mars Women from Venus" beautifully wrote bout it. What do you think, and how far you show it OR in fact is there any limit?
