Digital Workshop - LGBTQ+ History Month: Sharing Our Stories

LGBTQ+ History Month is a great opportunity to share our stories.
We know the impact that sharing our stories and experiences has on building empathy and driving change.
Especially during February, many of us will will be asked to share our experiences in the workplace and beyond. There is huge power in in sharing parts of our journey with others, but there can also be a personal toll in being so open at work and in sharing difficult experiences.
In this workshop, specifically for the LGBTQ+ community, we'll explore different ways to tell your story, the impact it can have and how you ensure you're taking care of yourself in the process.
Join us for a two-hour interactive workshop at 10:30 - 12:30 on 23 February 2023.

By attending this session, you will:

- Explore for yourself how you'd like to tell your story, what power it brings you to share and how to navigate instances where you don't wish to share
- Discuss how to take care of yourself when talking about your identities and experiences
- Who can attend?

This session is perfect for:
- LGBTQ+ staff who want to share more about their identity at work
- LGBTQ+ members of network groups considering how to use profiles of staff in inclusion work
- LGBTQ+ staff who want to understand more about their storytelling style and potential
