In this episode, we interview Callum Williamson. Callum is a working father and General Manager at Conductive Education Taranaki who recently took time off to care for his one-year-old daughter, Molly-Maggie. During this period, he experienced the day-to-day demands of balancing parenting and professional responsibilities. Callum shares his perspective on the challenges and adjustments that come with being a dad in today’s working world.
Our conversation blended Callum’s experience as a working dad, as a leader of people who are also parents and as someone who actively participates in his wider community. One of those ways he contributes to his community is as a White Ribbon Ambassador and he is proud to serve his whānau and his community by supporting this vital kaupapa. White Ribbon reminds us that we all have a role to play in preventing violence, whether it’s challenging harmful behaviours, educating others about respectful relationships, or modelling healthy behaviours ourselves. It’s about stepping up to protect and care for those around us. Callum encourage everyone to take the White Ribbon Pledge and actively promote kindness, respect, and safety in their homes and communities. Let’s work together to make a difference.
- The importance of just being with our children.
