Bloke Coaching
Welcome to the Bloke Coaching podcast. Join me on the journey to understand male privilege across industries and society within processes, policies, rituals and mindsets and how this is holding us back from achieving true gender equality. My name is Ian Schmidt and I'm embarking upon a journey to understand male privilege, patriarchy and prejudice. I'm a workshop facilitator and a professional certified coach with over 600 hours of coaching experience. In 2022, I founded Bloke coaching, a programme to work with men to empower them to join the conversation around gender equality, take greater ownership and become change makers.
