You do you: Bring your full self to work (facilitated discussion)
Life and work overlap today in ways that have never been experience before. It's almost impossible to separate home from the workplace. And why would we want to, when we know we can be so much better at work when we're being ourselves. Life is much more colourful that way, and embracing authenticity leads to greater fulfilment and productivity. Let's talk about managing work and personal commitments, how to be your full self while getting the job done.
Key takeaways:

Break the bias (facilitated discussion)
What stands in our way to achieving a level playing field, at work and at home? Consciously and unconsciously, we operate with gender biases, many of them limiting. Women face slower career progression and lower average salaries than men. Meanwhile, the tired and outdated 'breadwinner' model is just as limiting for the lives of men. This discussion tackles how we can collectively dismantle these limiting gender norms and break all of this apart, for the benefit of all.
Key takeaways:
- Gender biases create unequal opportunities and limit the potential of women and men.
- Breaking down these biases requires joint effort and open dialogue.
- It’s vital that we reflect on how we can individually and collectively drive change.
