12.00-13.00: Authentic Leadership

We will explore the concept of authenticity, which is absolutely central to an inclusive workplace. If we recruit diverse teams but those people cannot be themselves, then what is the point? Instead how do we all show up, live brave and allow ourselves to be seen?

Learning Outcomes:

1. Understand the difference between authenticity and self-monitoring

2. Understand what happens when we don’t process our emotions

3. Learn simple methods to be with our difficult emotions

4. Translate your learnings in to the workplace and in to our teams

13.00 – 13.30: Lunch and Networking

13.30 – 14.30: The Courage to Engage with Diversity and Inclusion

Roxanne Hobbs and Derval Chambers-Petit will explore why D&I is important from a business, emotional and personal case. They will take a look at what courageous leadership is and what happens in its absence. Finally they will pull all of this together, demonstrating how to step in the courage required to truly make a difference by being conscious of our bias, putting our armoury aside and creating trusting workplaces where everyone feels able to be themselves.

Learning Outcomes:

• An understanding of how trust is built and destroyed in the workplace

• Understanding of how we armour up and how that gets in the way of our authenticity

• Tools and techniques, they can use, starting now, to step in to their courage
