We’re hosting a breakfast workshop with Caroline Goyder – Owner of the Gravitas Method where we’ll cover:

Speaking with gravitas: Core tools to help you find congruence, confidence and grounded presence so you can trust yourself when you speak, no matter how high the stakes or how challenging the stakeholders

Flexing your leadership style: Different audiences require different approaches. Understand how you can flex your style and engage others while staying true to who you are

Teaching others how to treat you: Learn strategies for being intentional, assertive, and empathetic so you can speak up, ask for what you need and protect your boundaries in challenging moments

Questions and action planning: We’ll round out the session with a Q&A and develop personal action plans for attendees to take back to work

WICT UK in partnership with Broadminded will be in conversation with this broadcasting legend, Dame Jenni Murray. We will discuss her book, A History of the World in 21 Women, her extraordinary career, and her new book, Fat Cow, Fat Chance.

Dame Jenni Murray has been at the helm of BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour for over twenty years. She will talk to us about the programme’s 64 year history and her most engaging interviewees from Barbara Castle to Kaffe Fasset, Monica Lewinsky to Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson to Margaret Thatcher, through to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. As always, there'll be plenty of time for her to answer your questions too.

Register for the event here.

WICT members should use the promo code 'WICT' and the cost of their ticket will be free.

Four sessions, starting 26th October 18:30-20:00, and continuing 2nd, 9th & 16th November

Holding your ground in an important meeting; not being shaken by a difficult conversation at work; knowing your stress triggers and avoiding them so you’re always at your best. These are things we all wish we could be better at.

 So how do we develop the resilience we need to face challenges in the workplace and thrive?

 Join us this October to find out. FeForte will lead us in science-based training and philosophical exploration including mindfulness practice. They’ve identified the habits needed to build your personal resilience, and will teach us to master them on this deep-dive training course. Each of the four 90-minute virtual meetings will be an opportunity to review practice, share new knowledge and embed new skills.
