Most of us want to work in places where people feel safe, respected and able to thrive.
Creating that kind of culture isn't just about policies and procedures. It's shaped by the everyday behaviours, conversations and choices we make.
From Passive Bystander to Active Ally invites men to consider the role they can play in creating gender-equal, respectful workplaces and preventing violence against women.
It draws on Mike's own journey, and his experience working in gender equality and violence prevention.

This isn't about having all the answers or being a 'perfect' ally.
It's about noticing what's happening around us, taking responsibility, learning how to help and choosing to act.
Through storytelling, research, reflection and conversation, participants are encouraged to identify at least one practical action they can take to help shift the culture around them.
Culture changes through the everyday behaviours we notice, challenge, support and model.
