The Room of Difference
A monthly group for anyone who wants to advocate for themselves more effectively — and more sustainably.
Do you know what you need but struggle to say it? Speak up and aren't taken seriously? Or find yourself managing everyone else's comfort at the expense of your own clarity?
The Room of Difference is a live, collaborative space built around real situations — at work, in relationships, and beyond. Each session is shaped by what members actually bring, not a fixed curriculum or lecture. Peer support sits at the centre, with a trained facilitator guiding the conversation deeper.
What happens in a session? Members take turns bringing a situation they want support with — managing up at work, preparing for a hard conversation, holding their ground in a group, or navigating a politically charged dynamic. The group works through it together: sharing what they know, what they've tried, and what's helped.
Skills you'll build:
- Stay present under pressure and choose how to respond, not just react
- Speak honestly without triggering unnecessary conflict
- Advocate for your needs clearly — without shrinking or over-explaining
- Hold your ground without losing the relationship
- Raise difficult points in ways that are grounded and hard to dismiss
What to expect: Sessions open with a check-in, move into member-led discussion with facilitated prompting, and close with a group reflection. No preparation needed — just come with something you're navigating or want to think through. Strong emotions are welcome and treated as information, not disruption. Everything shared stays within the group. Facilitators are trained in trauma-informed practice.
Format: Monthly | 2 hours |
You don't need to be confident or outspoken. You just need to be willing to practise staying present.
