Many companies may be at risk of losing some of their best and brightest employees if they don’t figure out how to accommodate female workers with children.
It goes without saying that the past two years have been, for the most part, unpredictable.

As the #MeToo movement has swept over the globe, sometimes it seems to me that we live in the world of angry women and confused men. Many of us have certainly lost our capacity to be in our masculine and feminine centres – or yin and yang, or, following Jung, animus and anima – which are available to us regardless of gender.
