AWS re:Invent is a learning conference hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for the global cloud computing community. The in person event features keynote announcements, training and certification opportunities, access to 1,500+ technical sessions, the Expo, after-hours events, and so much more.  With a new CEO at the helm it was a great time to see everything new and updates to the company. ECS send some lucky consultants along to enjoy the ride and this year it was Neal Makh who attended on the AWS grant, and Sunil Tailor who is an AWS veteran.

Ep. 16 - International Men's Day Part 2 with Chris Dunkley

Episode 16 we invited Chris Dunkley who works in Delivery Assurance at ECS. As we navigate through International Men's Day, we aim to show the different aspects and themes that men are faced with. This can include mental health, the stigma around what a man should be and manhood. In this very personal episode, Chris shares his story of what its been like for him growing in the male dominated IT industry and his battle with testicular cancer. This is a touching story which we hope you take something away from.

From everyone at the Tech³Podcast, we would like to thank Chris for sharing this very personal story and hope it helps others who may be going through similar challenges.

Some issues which are explored during the episode include:

  • Why is promoting positive conversations about men important?
  • How do you start positive conversations with men?
  • Formal and informal support networks – will remote working affect access to this?
  • Men’s health – do you find there is still a stigma around actively seeking medical help? Is there still a badge of honour for burnout and working through a cold?
  • 1 in 215 UK males will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in their lifetime –  did your own experience affect your view on or feelings towards manhood/masculinity?

Ep. 15 - International Men's Day Part 1 with Eloisa Tovee

Ep. 15 - International Men's Day Part 1 with Eloisa Tovee

Episode 15 we invited Eloisa Tovee on the show to kick off a series of episodes celebrating International Men's Day, a day to celebrate men and also take a closer look at some of the challenges men face in todays world.

The aim of International Men's Day is to celebrate positive male role models and to raise awareness of men's issues. These include topics such as mental health, toxic masculinity and the prevalence of male suicide. This year’s theme: “Better relations between men and women.” 

Some issues we will be exploring during the series include 

  • People still hold onto the buccaneering cowboy vision of the alpha male which creates an unrealistic standard for men – especially since we left the Wild Wild West in the early 20th century
  • And in the same breath, we teach our sons and our men that they are dispensable. They are more likely to be drafted into the army, lose custody court cases, end up homelessness (70%)
  • Whilst the number of countries where paternity leave is enshrined in law has more than doubled to about 90 in the last 20 years; paternity is still openly criticised – latest example was Joe Lonsdale, founder of software giant Palantir Technologies on Twitter last week who tweeted “Any man in an important position who takes 6 months of leave for a newborn is a loser. In the old days men had babies and worked harder to provide for their future - that’s the correct masculine response.” 
  • 3/4 suicides are men – more women attempt suicide (in the US suicide attempt 1.2 times as often as men), but men use more violence methods making them it less likely for them to receive help
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that suicide represents half of all male violent deaths worldwide
  • 95% of people who die at work at men
  • Men’s health (including male cancers) – The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime
  • Shorter life expectancy (on average 6 years less than women
