Do you feel you fit in with the groups around you? Whether in the workplace or in our social lives, feeling that we belong is a key element of mental and physical wellbeing.
In this session for leaders, managers and staff at all levels, we explore the impact of authenticity in the workplace, compared with ‘masking’ parts of who we are. We’ll use lived experience along with research and resources which we can use to support ourselves and those around us, to increase their sense of belonging.
We bring together research, reflection and practical approaches, delivered in an engaging way that brings impact.
