Ian Dinwiddie on Why Supporting New Dads is a Route to Gender Equality!

Ian Dinwiddie is Coach, Mentor and The Founder Of Inspiring Dads. He delivers coaching, presentations and workshops to innovative businesses who put supporting new dads at the heart of their gender equality strategy, recognising the positive impact on equality and well-being of helping dads solve the challenge of “how to be a great dad WITHOUT sacrificing a great career.” An ex-Management consultant, twice a stay-at-home dad and an English National League hockey umpire, he was the co-host of 46 episodes of the Lockdown Dads podcast, where they interviewed politicians, PhDs and an international rock star. He is married to Lisa, a Lawyer and they have two children,  a 14-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son. Ian recently presented to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Fatherhood – “What’s In It For Me(n)? Leveraging Fatherhood for Gender Equality,”.   In this episode, we talked about the challenges and difficulties new dads are facing and how we (the government, corporations and generally speaking society!) can support them. A very interesting listen and a new perspective on equality!! Enjoy! :)
