What can the COVID-19 crisis teach us about building gender-sensitive justice systems?
An executive-coaching client of Sanyins recently made an offhand comment that revealed something stunning about parenting over the past year. A busy executive with three kids and an equally busy working spouse, she quipped, Who knew my kitchen would turn into my executive coach? When Sanyin asked what she meant, she listed a litany of experiences from around her kitchen table: keeping her kids creatively engaged in their school activities while planning a meal and while, on the other side of the room, her laptop was logged into a virtual strategy session with her team. She reflected, What I had to learn this past year to keep all my worlds integrated was a crucible Id never wish on anyone. I know I had it better than many working parents. But I gained some new skills that will serve me well going forward.
