Empowering Masculinity with the "Mature Masculine"
The Californer/10240528

SAN DIEGO - Californer -- In a day and age when gender identity is in question and the concept of masculinity has been challenged, the "mature masculine man" is on the horizon.

As stated in the mission statement of Mentor Discover Inspire (MDI) – an organization dedicated to success for men on all levels – members look to "cause greatness by mentoring men to live with excellence and as mature masculine leaders create successful families, careers and communities."

An outgrowth of this statement was a deeper dive in 2018 into the "mature masculine leader" concept through the organization's San Diego division, its then Division Coordinator Chris Christopher and Membership Manager Jim Ellis. Enter an upcoming 1-day experiential event promising participants a fun and engaging workshop for men ready to go to the next level in their lives: The Mature Masculine Workshop.

So, what is the "mature masculine?" Ellis, designer and co-facilitator of the event, synthesized a list of 20 qualities of the mature masculine man from a complete list of approximately 70 he gathered through a core team from the San Diego division. "Even so," says Ellis, "The experts on the topic will be the men in attendance as they uncover these qualities or recognize what they need to do enhance them."

Dylan Stewart, co-facilitator of the training, has been an MDI leader since 2003, including roles as team leader, Division Coordinator, Regional Coordinator, and Secretary to the Board of Directors. His high energy and passionate approach will be a boost to the event. Said Stewart, "When I first started in MDI, I was told this was the best way to become the man I always wanted to be. But I didn't know who that man was. The 20 qualities of the masculine man finally gave me a map to build the tools to become that man."

Ellis points out that at this present time in our society, the concept of masculinity has been in question and challenged, with some pervading negative concepts such as toxic masculinity. Says Ellis, "Besides raising to the next level of your greatness, this is one reason to join in the conversation on this topic. It's time to bring masculinity back as the honorable and powerful identity it deserves to be."
