The Athena Academy proudly presents its new Male Allyship Certification Course designed to strengthen men’s core leadership skills by mastering the art of male allyship. Active allyship begins by understanding the imbalances in opportunity for women across teams, business units and corporate cultures while working to correct them. This dynamic, 3-month workshop empowers men with actionable insights and data-driven strategies that spur them into effective advocates. Led by Dr Alessandra Wall, a clinical psychologist and the Academy’s founding faculty member, participants will learn to foster inclusive, engaging workplaces, expand their empathy, deepen their leadership acumen and maximize the performance of STEM women.

• Too many organizations still miss the mark on gender equity efforts by focusing gender initiatives solely on changing women — from the way they network, to the way they lead.
• Individualistic approaches to solving gender inequities overlook systemic structural causes and reinforce the perception that these are women’s issues — effectively telling men they need not be involved.

Without the avid support of those men serving as powerful stakeholders in most corporations, significant progress toward ending gender disparities is unlikely. The Academy’s Mastering Leadership Through Male Allyship offers a 5-track curriculum over 3 months that addresses organizational structures and cultural biases that disadvantage women while remaining committed to the success of your organization.
