Coach, consultant and 'living system', we talk to Ethan about his journey from googling 'male trapped in female body' to father of two, including a lockdown baby.
We discuss the power of flexible working as an enabler for Ethan to be the person and the dad he wanted to be and how a throw away comment about a new kitten - 'Look! Two mummies' was the catalyst for the addressing the fundamental identity crisis his life and ultimately lead to visiting the Alternative Parenting Show.
We cover the role of allies, the things Ethan has learnt from reciprocal coaching with BAME coachees and how talking empowers others to share their story and creates ripples of understanding.
In an unusual tangent, we stumble across the story that Ethan parents are head and deputy head at the school he went to and where also his daughter has been at nursery. Definitely a family affair!
We chat about the importance of listening to lived experience, intersectionality and asking people what they need, especially with 2021 and the return to the work place.
Plus make sure you listen properly to your children to avoid the sombre school lesson of 'soldiers and poppies' becoming a somewhat more upbeat tale of (heads,) 'shoulders and puppies'
And we talk vaccinations, Friday night (hockey) action in Bromley and the joy of planning to do things.
