In this episode I speak with Dr Helena Darwin, a UX Researcher based in New York City. Helana has a doctorate in Sociology and is the author of the book ‘Redoing Gender: How Nonbinary Gender Contributes toward Social Change’.

We connected recently on LinkedIn about a series of posts that Helana made about the affect that businesses can put on people to train outside of work hours. I had several conversations with people I’ve coached over the years about this topic, and as you will see, it’s a pandoras box that Helana fantastically describes in great detail.

We had a few technical issues on this episode, but thanks to the wonderful editors on the show, we managed to put all the pieces together!
