What is the future of men in the workplace, society, and culture? Today’s traditional gender roles expect men to always be self-confident, strong and hide emotions. The reality is that many men, regardless of leadership position, still struggle with imposter syndrome — doubting their skills, talents, and accomplishments while feeling like they don’t belong. This can have a disastrous effect on men’s health and well-being.
 
It’s time for a different narrative. This event invites men to talk freely about emotions, show vulnerability and liberate themselves from gender patterns that are not serving them any longer. Join us for the celebration of the International Men’s Day and a discussion with Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men’s health, wellness, success and fulfilment.

during this event you will learn

  • what is the Myth Of Male Separation and its impact
  • how you can overcome Imposter Syndrome
  • the Agreement of Male Silence and how men navigate emotions
  • how to feel confident in expressing your emotions and to be an authentic leader
