Episode description

Is what's on the on the surface the full version of the truth or are you making assumptions based on your experiences and understanding? For the people on your team who are saying "I'm fine. Everything's okay." Do you think that's true? Or are they just out of energy from constantly trying to be seen or included and its easier to give a safe, generic answer? 

It's time to talk about where in your life it might be possible that looks can be deceiving and how making assumptions is impacting productivity and engagement of your team.

Lisa invites her guest, Jay Pryor, to help all of us test those assumptions, question what we might think to be true and ultimately, live a more conscious life, with the ability to be fully present at work and in our lives. Jay shares a unique perspective on their experience living as a woman, a man, and now as a non-binary person. After a lifetime of experiencing bias and gender stereotyping from several different angles, they offer a solemn piece of truth about sexism and the extra work and energy required just be seen if you don't fit into whatever mold our society deems as “male.”

This episode of CTRL+ALT+DELETE with Lisa Duerre is the definition of a "No BS conversation", that unpacks the definition of gender, pushes the listener to re-think stereotypes, start inclusive conversations about gender roles, and create environments where all genders can have equal opportunities for success and empowerment.
