Mentoring Creates Emotional Safety

Mentoring Creates Emotional Safety

I was recently quoted in an article by Harvey Deutschendorf for Fast Company Magazine on building cultures of mentoring in organizations. The same article was republished in HR Professional Magazine. Building relational skills is an important aspect of men’s work.

15 INSPIRING DADS WHO EXEMPLIFY MODERN FATHERHOOD This is leadership.

I am deeply honored to be included in this stellar group of men. Thanks to Ludo Gabriel, the creator of WOKEDADDY for this recognition.

I continue to do my work as a Dad. I SEE YOU, Dad. I feel it too. I feel it all. Thank you for the work you’re doing to unlearn and to learn.

Have you heard the good news? We are currently witnessing the rise of a healthier culture of masculinity and some dads are leading this change by personifying modern fatherhood.

Fathers are increasingly embracing their caregiving roles, taking advantage of their paid family leave, and sharing their joy of being dads. According to Zero to Three, 90% of dads say being a parent is their greatest joy and 85% say being a father is the best job in the world. However this change of perception did not happen overnight. It took the commitment of brave visionaries that stepped outside the preconceived notion of masculinity and fatherhood to embrace themselves.

Today, I want to highlight 15 inspiring dads who exemplify modern fatherhood. I have the privilege of knowing a few of them personally; I have crossed paths with some of them notably when I attended the Dad 2.0 Summit for the first time. One thing for certain is that I feel SO MUCH respect and gratitude for all of them. Despite the diversity of this group, they all have one thing in common: fatherhood is at the core of their mission. Some of them might be entrepreneurs, but they are full-time dads committed to growth. They all embody this idea that old visions of fathers as distant and dominating benefit no one. Making lists of inspiring men is always hard for me. While you may think that 15 fathers is a large list, I am happy to report that I am grateful to know many more purpose-driven dads that deserve all the light they can get: it will give me the opportunity to do a second round. ~ Ludo Gabriel
