SEPTEMBER 28: WEEKLY REFLECTION - What Does Belonging Look Like In Action?
Creating workplaces, communities and everyday spaces where everyone feels seen, valued and able to be themselves.
As we reach another point in our September journey, today feels like a good opportunity to pause and look back at some of the ideas we have explored around belonging. We have talked about feeling seen, being heard, making room for difference and creating workplaces where people can feel comfortable being themselves, but what does all of that actually look like when it becomes part of everyday working life?
Belonging will not look exactly the same for everyone, and there is no single formula for creating it. What makes one person feel connected and comfortable may be quite different for someone else, which is why perhaps the most useful thing we can do is become more curious about what belonging feels like from different perspectives.
Today, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what belonging looks like in action, and how we can recognise the signs of a workplace where people genuinely feel they have a place.

Black History Month: The Audacity To Occupy Space: Reimagining Leadership Through an Equity Lens
Tuesday 06 October 2026

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.
