Gender & Family Dynamics in Leadership

Join us, in partnership with the Women of Ivey Community, for a Lifelong Learning livestream event to discuss how the phrase "We all have the same 24 hours a day" is frequently used in motivational rhetoric when it comes to work ethic and career success, but fails to account for disparities in how aspects of identity impact how people behave societally.

In this session:

"We all have the same 24 hours a day."

In this discussion we will dive into how this rhetoric oversimplifies the complex realities faced by individuals based on gender and family dynamics. Societal expectations create a disproportionate burden—managing not just career demands, but also personal and family responsibilities. This "invisible" work adds significant strain, making the idea of equal time management unrealistic and unfortunately often leads to burnout for women.

For this Lifelong Learning livestream moderated by Bryan Benjamin, Executive Director of The Ivey Academy, we’re joined by Janice Byrne, Associate Professor, Entrepreneurship. Over the course of an hour, we will discuss the mental load and extra pressures that women and caregivers have to attend to, along with the overwhelming pressure to be perfect and the importance of setting boundaries.
