MASTERCLASS SERIES

This workshop will enable you to understand unconscious bias, where it comes from, and how it affects the way we work. Participants will be shown how taking small scale immediate actions – through discussions around empathetic leadership, and creating psychologically safe environments (which encourage brave, open, and honest conversation) – lead to better employee wellbeing, job satisfaction, and increased productivity.

The workshop provides a forward-thinking approach to interrupting our biases by creating a culture of inclusion. It provides the opportunity to build self-awareness of the biases we all naturally hold, and an assessment of how this can impact your business (both externally and internally).

Your personal brand is what differentiates you. It showcases who you are, what you stand for and the unique value you bring. It helps you stand out and get noticed so that you can realise your full potential. This interactive, virtual workshop is designed to help you define and enhance your personal brand online and offline, so that you can get noticed and accelerate your career.

This workshop blends expert knowledge with practical exercises and group work to help you stand out from the crowd and achieve your own unique goals.

Learn how to take ownership of your success, overcome self-doubt and create strategies to build confidence and unlock your full potential.

Recent studies suggest that as many as 70% of us have suffered from imposter syndrome at some point in our careers. The feeling that success is just down to luck, good timing, or being surrounded by good people. This causes us to strive for perfection, work long hours or live in fear of people ‘finding out that you’re an imposter.

This interactive masterclass will help you identify which type of imposter are you and give you actionable strategies to help you:

• take ownership of your success
• overcome those self-limiting beliefs
• build confidence in your abilities so that you can unlock your full potential.

A microaggression is a comment or action that negatively targets a marginalised group of people either intentionally or unintentionally.

The cumulative impact of microaggressions in the workplace can negatively impact people’s confidence, mental health and overall wellbeing.

In this 60-minute masterclass, we’ll be covering:

• Microaggressions | what are they and how do they manifest
• Bias interrupters | practical strategies to disrupt bias
• Use of pronouns | how to use more inclusive language at work.

Participants will come away with practical strategies and actions they can personally take to address bias and create a more inclusive working environment.

In this interactive talk, Angie Vaux, an industry tech veteran of 20+ years and a Top 10 Winner of The Most Impactful Women in Tech 2021’ will share her personal experience, lessons learned and practical advice on how to build a successful career in tech. She’ll cover key topics affecting women in the workplace today, including top tips to assert yourself when you’re the only woman in the room and finding your authentic voice.

In this interactive masterclass, you’ll learn how to position yourself for success by raising your profile, building collaborative relationships, and accessing informal networks.

Office politics are neither good nor bad. Every organisation has its own dynamics, cultural nuances and way of doing business that makes it unique. Understanding how an organisation functions, the relationships that exist and how to navigate around this and build a successful career.

Allyship is a topic that we hear a lot about, but what does it actually mean and how can you make an impact and help women and marginalized groups advance in the workplace?

Research by the Harvard Business Review highlights that when men are deliberately engaged in gender inclusion programs, 96% of organisations see progress, compared to only 30% of organisations where men are not engaged.

In this informative and interactive workshop, we’ll be covering:

• What it means to be an ally in the workplace
• The most common invisible barriers that are holding women back at work
• Evidenced-based best practices for becoming an effective ally
• The small, actionable steps that you can personally take to create big impact

This experiential, evidence-based mindfulness program is designed to empower people to optimise their performance, improve mental health and wellbeing, and to be the best version of themselves. 

In this 8-part program (with each module being 55-minutes in duration), people will learn practical strategies to: 

• improve self awareness and self-mastery so they can become aware of automatic defaults and make more conscious choices
• build resilience and manage life stressors more effectively
• improve attention, focus and performance
• manage stress and anxiety
• cultivate positive mental habits to boost mindset, creativity and be the best versions of themselves

All students will be given a workbook to record their progress.
