058 Lori Meakin: The systemic issues that need to change to create a gender equal world
Show Notes

In this week’s episode I speak to Lori Meakin, Author of ‘No More Menemies’ and Co Founder of Joint.

This is one of our most powerful episodes to date, and not to be missed.

Lori is so inspirational, and we cannot wait to have her as a speaker at our Courageous Leaders LIVE: 2023 event on the 11th May.

In the meantime, you can join us for this amazing episode, where we talk about the systemic issues that need to be changed to create a gender equal world and the real life experiences that have shaped Lori's work in this area.

Key takeaways include:

  • The role of men and women in gender equality
  • How high trauma shapes who you become
  • The balance of backing yourself, whilst nurturing and supporting others

Lori worked in teaching, advertising, management consultancy and the media before co-founding Joint, in 2012 with Damon Collins and Richard Exon. 

After a successful decade leading the development of brand strategies and creative content for the likes of Amazon, Vue and Reach Plc, Lori left Joint to pursue her own work centred around engaging more men and boys in gender equality. 

In this and as an Exec member of WACL, Lori encourages better representation of people who are marginalised or misrepresented in media, products and comms, and is committed to helping future generations achieve their full potential, whatever their gender.
