Speaking Topics

Profit Growth and Innovation

Fear of vulnerability is the enemy of innovation. Insecure masculinity causes reckless and bad decision
makings that are more ego-driven as opposed to being based on facts and healthy decision making. The combination of both adversely affects your bottom-line which overtime, amounts to millions of dollars of lost revenue.

Insecure Masculinity

This is the biggest kept secret and root of most of the men's problems. Unfortunately, it is not an easy topic to talk
about and that has to change. It is Dr. Persia’s mission to bring this issue to the front and center of the discussion for men’s overall health and well-being.

Fatherhood

Fatherhood is a vast topic that covers issues such as abandonment, old-fashioned toughness training, guilt of
not wanting to be a father, challenges of single fathers, modern vs old school fatherhood, violence at home, mindful presence, and raising children with a boys-will-be-boys attitude.

Male Victims of Rape and Sexual Assault

Men get raped too. Whether it's forced penetration or Made-To-Penetrate (MTP), male rape is a common
phenomenon that carries even more shame than the rape of women. Thousands of cases go unreported, and victims don't get the help and support they need.

Male Victims of Domestic Violence

Men are not allowed to be abused so society and even law enforcement and the legal system may not take it
seriously. Talking about domestic violence is not easy for men, and when they do, their complaints are deemed fabricated, exaggerated, dubious and usually dismissed. There are thousands of men who are victims of domestic violence with no support or even acknowledgment.

Men’s Suicide Rate and Suicide Prevention

Regretfully, 80% of all suicide victims in the United States are men (similar stats in the UK, Canada, and
Australia). Not enough people are talking about it. Digging into "why each day in the US, 99 men don’t see the value in their lives and end it preferably with a gun?", is a topic that has to be discussed by major outlets every day. That’s too much suffering going unnoticed.

Emotional Sterilization

Little boys at a young age are bullied by grown-ups to stop crying because "men don’t cry". Instead of feeling and
expressing valid human emotions appropriately and timely, boys are told to man up and shut up. Since no human is exempt from experiencing feelings, buried and ignored emotions are channeled into unhealthy expressions such as anger, violence against self or others, depression, drinking and addiction, and ultimately suicide. A common sentiment amongst men is, “how I feel as a man, holds no value.” That narrative has to change.

Self-Worth Deficit in Men

We are all born with ample self-worth but grownups crush that sense of self-worth. The only difference is
the percentage that has been crushed and how much work it takes to build it back up. For boys and ultimately men, it's a bit gloomier. For ages, patriarchy has infected every culture on earth, and it predominantly associates a sense of self-worth with masculinity and manhood. This means, in whatever men do, they have to consider whether that action will make them look like less of a man or not! That's why men have an additional challenge that permeates everything they do. This calls for targeted healing and recovery tailored to men.

Men’s Sexual Conformity and Oppression

To most people, this comes as a surprise. Men are encouraged and praised for showing hypersexual behavior. Thus, society doesn't
associate shame and oppression with men’s sexuality. However, only one type of sexual behavior is allowed. 77% of all men I interviewed hid their real sexual nature from their wives. Even in bed, men have to conform to patriarchy. If they are not all super dominant, take charge, aggressive, alpha porn-stars in bed demanding a submissive woman to degrade, then they are not real men! Men fear backlash & judgment so much so that they wrap their real needs in a cloak of shame & lovingly lock it, and bury it in the deepest part of their souls for decades, Wondering...

Positive vs. Toxic Masculinity

Women don't have a monopoly on feminine energy and men don't have a monopoly on masculine energy. A balanced individual is made up of
both feminine and masculine energies. Men happen to have more masculine and women happen to have more feminine energy. Both have feminine and masculine aspects to their beingness which is critical to honor and cherish in order to become a well-rounded woman or man. Traditional masculinity AKA patriarchy has defined masculinity as a rejection of everything feminine. That has disturbed the balance in men and negatively affects their mental and physical well-being every day. Patriarchy has created a fear of anything feminine, so men avoid what they erroneously perceive to be feminine - thus weak and inferior - to their detriment at all costs. This is the foundation of toxic masculinity.
