If we speak with inclusive language, we ensure that all feel welcome in the conversation. My training has made me more aware of where gendered terms cause harm, reinforcing existing stereotypes. At Moving Brands, we have been working with The Other Box for our DE&I training, and it's astonishing to see where women and marginalized voices are left out of the conversation. With a wealth of female conducting talent to draw on, should it not be the responsibility of those prominent in the industry to include women and other genders in the conversation? How about using non-gendered terms when talking about traditionally 'male-dominated' professions? And finally, he only references male conductors to clarify his points and only credits male conductors with making 'music history'. He describes conductors as 'inspiring, coercing, guiding'. He described the role as 'like being a CEO or a president,' alluding to the male-centred attributes that have traditionally gatekept those roles. He referred to conductors only using he/him pronouns. And true, given the male-dominated history of the role, for many, that is the image that springs to mind at the mention of 'Conductor'.īut what frustrated me was what he did next. He describes the familiar stereotype of a 'guy in a tuxedo and tails'. ![]() On Culture: Shorts' '5 Minutes to Love Conductors', Zachary Woolfe introduces us to the role of conductors. One got my attention, and not in a good way. I stuck around and continued to listen to other shares. I sat down with a tea and opened the New York Times Audio app to listen to the day's headlines.

It also has a Coach feature, which will direct you to the most appropriate principles for the situations you face, and a tool for writing down and recording your own principles. In addition to the videos of real situations with real people living by these principles, it has everything I’ve done in an easy-to-use format that is always up to date, including the complete text of my book Principles: Life & Work and the animated videos I’ve created. Because so many people told me that it had a huge impact on their lives and that they wished they could have seen the principles applied in real-life situations, I put out this Principles in Action app. That's why I wrote my book Principles: Life and Work which has sold over 5 million copies. I’m at a stage in my life where I want to pass along what I’ve learned to help others, so I'm sharing the principles that I believe led to whatever success I and Bridgewater have had-and that I also believe can make anyone and any company successful. It’s free so there is no cost to checking it out. I know you will love it because virtually everyone else who has seen it loves it (It has an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 in the Apple App Store). You can now see Principles in Action on Android and iOS in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, India, Canada, Netherlands, France, Italy, Romania, and Croatia.

The web series has also made a unique contribution - Introducing and celebrating the term “Half CA”. From choosing the commerce stream, and being judged as someone with an easy, carefree life just because we're commerce students, to studying diligently with a study partner, the series was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. While watching this web series on Amazon miniTV I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. “Kaunse college se CA kar rahe ho” – how many times have you answered this question? ![]() No one except your parents and peers understands the life we live as CA Aspirants. While we've seen shows on IIT, UPSC, and doctors, hardly any production had shed light on the unique life of CA aspirants. Last Friday I and my brother Sachin binge-watched “Half-CA”. ![]()
