In-person 1 hour Workshop with Hannah Roberts entitled ‘The Power of Allyship: Transforming Your Inner Voices for Personal and Collective Growth’

Do you struggle with a critical inner voice that compares you unfavourably to others, reprimands you, and leaves you feeling ‘less than’?

In this workshop, you will:

  • Explore how to become your own best ally by identifying your unique ‘stress team’ of inner selves—such as The Perfectionist, The Pusher, and The Pleaser.
  • Learn how to detach from 'stress team’ agendas, empowering yourself to make conscious choices in your behaviour and responses.
  • Cultivate self-compassion and extend this mindset to support the allyship of others, fostering progressive and inclusive workplace cultures.

Every participant will also receive a free copy of Hannah’s book ‘Intentional Careers for STEM Women: Six strategic steps to balance, confidence and fulfilment’, worth £17, and eWorkbook PDF.

Peer networking session

Lunch provided. Over lunch, we encourage delegates to network with colleagues from different sectors, organisations and backgrounds.
