Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to tackle mansplaining in the workplace. My goodness, what a HOT TOPIC that one was for y’all! There is nothing more cringy than when it happens to someone nearby, huh? And it’s no fun to be on the receiving end of it either. Not an easy topic to simplify but one worth examining as a collective to dismantle it for good. 

Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with gender equity expert Dr. Kimberly DeSimone as she simplifies how to tackle mansplaining in the workplace.

It’s time to simplify…

Here’s how. 

My special guest today is Dr. Kimberly DeSimone and she’s simplifying how to tackle mansplaining in the workplace.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

  • First things first, she defines the term ‘mansplaining’ and how it’s different from someone being condescending or just interrupting. She tells us a bit of the history behind this phenomenon, culturally, especially in American culture
  • Why some people discount mansplaining when it occurs and what a better response might be 
  • What the three things you can do to interrupt this bad behavior either when it happens to you or someone on your team
    • Acknowledgment
    • Amplification
    • Allyship
  • How to respond when mansplaining happens to you from a prospective client vs. your vendors/suppliers vs. your team members/subordinates
  • …and ultimately, she shared some clever strategies to help you be prepared and avoid getting flustered when it happens.

Thanks again for being such a devoted listener to The Simplifiers Podcast. You know me, I don’t shy away from the hard topics to simplify… I find they make for the most challenging and engaging conversations!

When you hear an episode like today’s on the podcast that potentially pokes a nerve, talk about it with someone else. 

Gain their insight and don’t be afraid to say, “hey, I heard this thing on The Simplifiers Podcast… is that a thing you’ve experienced as well?” Spark a conversation - you might be surprised with what you learn. This is how we all grow and evolve.

 

Q: Are you ready to tackle mansplaining in the workplace? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing
