Breaking the Mold of Gender Stereotypes - a Conversation with Kathryn Savage Imabayashi

Sometimes you meet someone who has the wisdom of the ages at their fingertips.  This was the case with my conversation with Kathryn Imabayashi, parent, coach and mentor.  For over 4 decades, she has developed programs and offered guidance for parents to help balance the dichotomy between gender expectations.  Her lifelong mission is to guide children and their parents as they are making sense of their world, with a focus and passion to help raise our boys better.

Today’s takeaways include:

1. It’s time to change the story of what a man is supposed to be and what those expectations are so that our male population can access their true version of what a male is in his inner emotional world.
2. If people don’t know, then they're not looking for answers. They're accepting the way things are, or just, just not seeing them. 
3. If we can get to a point where we acknowledge the differences in genders, and recognize and accept unconditionally.  Then, we can see these differences, both strengths and weaknesses  and see that by connecting and accepting, by recognizing and respecting, then we bring out the  best in each other. 
4. Our conditioning builds masks, which ultimately can cause us to disappears behind the masks
5. Be the lighthouse,  keep shining the light.  The people who are ready and are looking for this kind of support, they'll find the light.
