Lunch & Learn: Your Voice, Your Power - The Importance of Advocacy
This empowering Lunch & Learn session will interrogate compounding systemic issues and their challenging outcomes and explore the importance of advocacy in the workplace. 

Why is this important?
Current workplace systems often suppress women’s visibility and fail to reward their vital contributions. These systemic and structural barriers, combined with power imbalances, impact confidence and willingness to advocate for what you want – which has a knock-on effect of less access to opportunities, less visibility, difficulty in communicating professional needs and other roadblocks to progression.

What will you get from this session?
This is about understanding the bigger picture and equipping you with practical tools to thrive. In this Lunch & Learn, our expert facilitators Kate Boorer and Fiona Pearman, who have worked with thousands of women, will help you:
- Uncover the hidden barriers that limit visibility and recognition in workplaces.
- Shift your mindset and recognise that these challenges are systemic, not personal.
- Celebrate your achievements and feel confident sharing them.
- Learn actionable strategies to advocate for your needs and aspirations effectively.
- Feel supported and validated as you take steps towards a more rewarding professional life.

Why attend?
If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable promoting your work or asking for what you deserve, this session will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical tools to change that. You’ll leave feeling empowered to own your contribution and create opportunities for growth.

Key Learning Objectives:
- Identify the systemic barriers that are impacting your visibility in the workplace
- Articulate and share your value in an impactful way, that feels authentic to you.
- Implement strategies to stand out and get noticed so you can achieve your goal.
