S2E12. Brian Wheeler: “We’ll See”
Inspire-Ability Series 2 Episode 12
In part two of our chat with Brian Wheeler, he and Harriett discuss the role that confidence and perception play in perpetuating the gender gap. Brian reflects on a conversation with a colleague about the reversal of gender balance, and how this helped him to understand the barriers to diversity that remain. From there, Harriett and Brian discuss equity versus equality, leadership, and the toxic influence of technology and social media in the modern age: especially on children.
We then learn how, in 2018, Brian’s life was changed when a shattered spinal column disk led to emergency spinal surgery and left him paralysed, with the strong possibility of never walking again. Following a moving account of his “out of body” diagnosis with cauda equina syndrome, Brian’s defiance in the face of life-changing news is stark, and what follows is a frank and honest reflection on his years of recovery.
