SEPTEMBER 25: Small Acts Can Change The Feeling Of A Room
Creating workplaces, communities and everyday spaces where everyone feels seen, valued and able to be themselves.
Sometimes, the feeling of a workplace is shaped by things that are so small we barely notice them. The warmth of a greeting, the way someone responds to an idea, a moment of encouragement, a little patience when something goes wrong, or simply the sense that people are pleased you are there can all influence how comfortable and connected we feel.
These moments may not appear in a company policy or feature in an inclusion strategy, but they are part of the culture we experience every day. When small acts of kindness, consideration and respect become part of how we interact with one another, they can gradually create an environment that feels more welcoming for everyone.
Today, we’re exploring how the smallest acts can change the feeling of a room, and why the atmosphere we create together matters.

Black History Month: The Audacity To Occupy Space: Reimagining Leadership Through an Equity Lens

This webinar explores the structural and cultural conditions that determine who is seen as a leader, and challenges how institutions define, reward, and retain leadership. It asks what it takes to occupy leadership spaces when they were not designed to be inclusive especially for racially marginalised people and what must change within organisations to make leadership genuinely equitable.
This session is not about ‘inviting’ people into leadership. It’s about interrogating the gatekeeping practices, racialised expectations, and hierarchies of legitimacy that shape who gets to lead and how they are treated when they do.
