In this episode, past IOR President Steve Gill along with Lee Chambers shed light on the complexities and responsibilities of allyship. Steve is the Head of Sustainable Cooling at the Carbon Trust and the founder of Cool Mentoring, a platform dedicated to connecting and empowering young professionals and students in the refrigeration sector. Lee is an acclaimed business psychologist, a committed male ally, and an expert in well-being.
Discussing allyship is simple, but being a genuine ally can come with its own challenges and discomfort. 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.
