Women often are told (or feel) that they are too direct, aggressive, passive, lack confidence and need to speak up more in meetings. How do we avoid these labels and stereotypes in order to feel empowered, confident and be considered equal leaders in our organizations? Communication is key! The Women Empowerment Series will make you aware of your linguistic and communication styles and explore components to build confidence to empower you to make a difference within your organization.

In a series of three, 75-minute workshops (Dec. 3, 10 & 17) with plenty of time for great discussions and break-outs, women will explore their individual communication style and build an understanding of gender stereotypes and how these negatively impact workplace relationships. Non-verbal communication, body language and managing emotion will be discussed to propel our conversations forward and participants will delve into conversation rituals; a re-occurring pattern of conversation and behavior whose meaning, or function is not what it appears to be. By adapting linguistic styles to certain situations, understanding queen bee and imposter syndrome and being more aware of behavior that exists through rituals, women will be prepared to reclaim power, confidence and control in conversations and demonstrate their competence and credibility.

Women communicate a certain way, whether through learned behavior at a young age or through societal influences. Being aware of hidden nuances in conversations and learning to understand and adapt to different communication styles will empower women with communication tools that help them navigate and succeed in the workplace.

We are delighted to welcome you to this exclusive online festive event to celebrate and remember all those affected by gynaecological cancers.

The event will be streamed to your computer for us to join together in an evening of live and pre-recorded readings, stories and songs.

The evening will feature readings from actors Helen Lederer and Nigel Havers, personal stories from women affected by gynaecological cancers and some beautiful carols by choirs including the wonderful Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS choir.

This promises to be a memorable and special evening, and we very much hope you can join us as we see out the year.

We understand that the coronavirus pandemic has impacted so many lives, in many different ways. We have therefore decided not to have a fixed price to attend. We suggest a minimum donation of £5 per person, but please donate what you feel you can.

Any donations we receive will help ensure we can continue to be there for women facing a gynaecological cancer diagnosis and their loved ones, and fund research into earlier detection and prevention of these cancers.

The body scan provides an opportunity to practice noticing, simply by bringing an interested and friendly awareness to the way things are, in each moment however they are and without having to do anything to change things. There is no goal to be achieved. Just to bring awareness to aspects of our experience as the guidance suggests.
