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.
