What If... I Just Closed the Box on Gender Equality?

As I sit here, my fingers tracing the cover of my latest creation, 'Beyond Gender: The New Rules of Leadership,' a surprising revelation strikes me: it's undeniably my 'boring book.'

But amidst this boredom lies a profound sense of achievement. In these pages lies a year of unfiltered venting, a canvas where I painted my frustrations and insights on gender stereotypes in leadership. This book was my arena, where I challenged the norms and dared to speak my truth.

As I turn each page, I realize I'm not just closing a chapter on gender equality; I'm opening a new door to unexplored territories in leadership and personal growth. So, let's embark on this journey together, away from the echoes of old debates and into a world brimming with fresh perspectives and uncharted possibilities.

We had CEOs and bishops getting the stink eye, men wondering why they were on the 'Do Not Invite' list, and the issue of sexual violence sliding off stage faster than a slippery penguin on ice. Time to smash these limiting boxes and upgrade to quantum thinking, folks! 🎭 Ready for a new act in the play of life?
