Talking Points
Diversity, Connection and a Remarkable Result - the story of what’s possible when a common cause dissolves the fears of difference.
In a small village in remote north central India, it was the motorcycle accident that could have taken his life. Instead it paved the way for a connection of very different people from around the world, who came together to create a miraculous healing in a small guesthouse, on the banks of the Ganges.
Connection and collaboration with people from different backgrounds greatly increases the scope of potential solutions to our workplace problems. But our egos and fears get in the way. How do we put our own ‘stuff’ to the side, so we can lean in and be a part of truly creative Innovation.

Feminine / Masculine Leadership - If we don’t change our ways, we won’t survive.
The old masculine corporate and business models of ‘it’s the result that counts’, ‘grow net profit at all costs’, ‘expand and conquer’… need to be at the very least balanced with the more feminine focus of emotionally intelligent, human-centric, for-the-greater-good nurturing, caring and expanded awareness.
Gender equality is as important as any equality, but what’s the point of empowering women if they can only lead by accessing their masculine? We need to have more women in decision-making and leadership roles WITH their feminine energy validated as a source of wisdom. What’s more, we need to allow men to have access to their own feminine energy, and incorporate this into their leadership styles as well.
We need to balance the energy styles, not just the gender.
In this provocative talk, Jem demystifies Mars and Venus, shows us how we all have access to both, and explains how more feminine energy leadership will help us evolve into the future.

Key takeaways:

- 3 ways to access each energy style
- the inspiration to create more values-based and caring organisations
