SEPTEMBER 26: Building spaces where people can be themselves
Creating workplaces, communities and everyday spaces where everyone feels seen, valued and able to be themselves.
There is a particular sense of ease that comes from being somewhere you do not feel the need to carefully edit yourself. At work, we all naturally adapt to different situations, but there is a big difference between being professional and feeling that you have to hide parts of your personality, opinions or individuality in order to fit in.
Creating an inclusive workplace means building an environment where people have room to work, communicate and connect in ways that feel natural to them, while still respecting the needs and boundaries of those around them.
Today, we’re exploring what it takes to build spaces where people can genuinely be themselves, and why giving people room to be different can create stronger, more open and more human workplaces.

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.
