In this episode, past IOR President Steve Gill along with Lee Chambers shed light on the complexities and responsibilities of allyship.

Lee is an acclaimed business psychologist, a committed male ally, and an expert in well-being.

Becoming an ally is a gradual process that requires not only recognising your positive actions but also acknowledging your mistakes. It involves raising awareness about how one's actions can affect others.
