Cameron Phillips & Son

Our intellectual evolution around traditional gender roles has yet to be reflected in workplace attitudes, social policy, and popular culture. Even the most progressive minded person can be unconscious of the slide toward the old paradigm of mom as the “go to” parent and dad as the distant breadwinner.

In this discussion-provoking half-day workshop, couples will be exposed to the myriad of traps which can ensnare us in traditional gender roles. By identifying and avoiding these pitfalls, couples can build stronger and happier families.

Your facilitator for this workshop is former CBC Radio Host, Cameron Phillips. Shortly after the birth of his first son, Cameron lost his job. He confronted head-on the old idea that it is a man’s number one duty to be the financial provider in the family. Out of this struggle, Cameron founded “Bettermen Solutions”, a company designed to teach men better work/life balance skills.
