Our training session is designed to equip you with the tools and techniques to excel in any meeting setting.

3. Saying the Right Things: Master the art of speaking up with confidence and clarity. We’ll cover techniques for effectively articulating your ideas, asking pertinent questions, and navigating challenging conversations.

Outcomes: By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Recognise and effectively address microaggressions in a professional manner
