SUMMARY:Masculinity in the Workplace 2023
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Masculinity in the Workplace\, the only event in the UK that is designed specifically to engage men with inclusion and diversity. Marking International Men's Day\, the objective of our event is to give men the skills to lean into the conversation\, while also providing women and non-binary people with the skills to engage more men in inclusion and diversity. Because ultimately we can only make real change by working together.  \nOur distinguished speakers will share their insights and experiences\, shedding light on the evolving dynamics of masculinity in diverse work environments. You'll have the chance to ask questions\, participate in interactive sessions\, and network with like-minded professionals. \nThe theme for this year is 'The Power of Identity'. We have chosen this theme because it will allow us to explore some current and contemporary issues around men and masculinity. We will look at intersectionality\, how identity is formed\, the thorny issue of privilege and explore why some men are being drawn to unhealthy ideals of masculinity\, such as Andrew Tate. \nClick here to book your virtual ticket. This is the digital version of the event - if you are keen to come to the in-person event\, please do get in contact. \nAGENDA \n13.45: Introduction and welcome - Daniele Fiandaca\, Founder of Token Man & Roxanne Hobbs\, Founder of The Hobbs Consultancy \nPart 1 - Experiences with identity \n13.55: Keynote: Eshaan Akbar - Personal Experience  \nWe have seen Eshaan perform live in Hemel Hempstead and think we're in for a treat. He uses the medium of comedy to express complex and nuanced ideas around identity. His own identity is very interesting in that he was born in the UK to Bangladeshi and Pakistani parents. He also has a hidden disability that he has come to terms with.  \n14.40: Research findings from this year's Masculinity in the Workplace survey. \n14.55: BREAK \nPart 2 - Forming our identity \n15.20: Fireside chat with Susie Orbach - How identity is formed \nThe structure of parenting\, and how parents parent\, has a significant bearing on how boys and girls are raised and how they internalise notions of masculinity. As such\, their identities are formed in response to unconscious gender constraints and prescriptions pressed on them by their parents as well as society as a whole. \n16.05: Panel - Engaging men with inclusion and diversity \nOur panellists will discuss how they have been successful in engaging men with inclusion and diversity and how this is shifting the culture in their business. Confirmed panellists are: \n\nElaine Grell\, Chief People Officer\, Ogilvy\nMike Vallis\, Managing Director RTPs\, Merlin Entertainments\nTafadzwa Muchenje\, Marketing Exec\, Channel 4 & Co-chair\, The Shed\n\nPart 3 - Beyond masking to authenticity \n16.45: BREAK \n17.00: Keynote: Matt Lindley - Unmasking vulnerability \nAirline and former Royal Air Force pilot Matt Lindley talks candidly about being one of the first openly gay pilots in the UK Armed Forces. Listen to his journey of having a childhood dream to fly\, almost crushed by a ban on gay serving personnel in the Armed Forces. Matt will discuss not only his personal journey and the importance of allies that helped him\, but practical inclusive tools used in the aviation world to deliver collaborative decision making and a speak up culture on the flight deck. \n17:45: Close - Daniele Fiandaca & Roxanne Hobbs

SUMMARY:Dare to Lead™ January 2023
DESCRIPTION:This event will be in-person in central London. \nBrené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly\, rise strong\, and brave the wilderness. Now\, based on new research conducted with leaders\, change makers\, and culture shifters\, the new Dare to Lead™ curriculum will show us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles or the corner office. It’s about the willingness to step up\, put yourself out there\, and lean into courage. The world is desperate for braver leaders. It’s time for all of us to step up. This is a curriculum for developing brave leaders and courageous cultures. It’s learning and practice that requires brave work\, tough conversations\, and truly showing up. Daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% teachable. \nThe curriculum addresses key challenges our research suggests that companies are grappling with:\n\nWe avoid tough conversations\, including giving honest\, productive feedback.\nRather than spending a reasonable amount of time proactively acknowledging and addressing the fears and feelings that show up during change and upheaval\, we spend an unreasonable amount of time managing problematic behaviours.\nDiminishing trust caused by a lack of connection and empathy.\nNot enough people are taking smart risks or creating and sharing bold ideasto meet changing demands and the insatiable need for innovation.\nWe get stuck and defined by setbacks\, disappointments\, and failures\, so instead of spending resources on clean-up to ensure that consumers\, stakeholders\, or internal processes are made whole\, we are spending too much time and energy reassuring team members who are questioning their contribution and value.\nToo much shame and blame\, not enough accountability and learning.\nPeople are opting out of vital conversations about diversity and inclusivity because they fear looking wrong\, saying something wrong\, or being wrong. Choosing our own comfort over hard conversations is the epitome of privilege\, and it corrodes trust and moves us away from meaningful and lasting change.\nWhen something goes wrong\, individuals and teams are rushing into ineffective or unsustainable solutions rather than staying with problem identification and solving. When we fix the wrong thing for the wrong reason\, the same problems continue to surface. It’s costly and demoralizing.\nOrganisational values are gauzy and assessed in terms of aspirations rather than actual behaviours that can be taught\, measured\, and evaluated.\nPerfectionism and fear are keeping people from learning and growing.\n\nThe common thread? How we deal with fear. We will teach the skills required to tackle these issues by becoming braver leaders. \nTraining structure:\nPart 1 Rumbling with vulnerability - How we react to fear and choosing to lean in to risk\, uncertainty and emotional exposure. \nPart 2 Living into Our Values - Clarity on our values and the gap between our desired values and our behaviour. \nPart 3 Braving Trust - How trust is built and destroyed in organisations. \nPart 4 Learning to Rise – Resilience; failing forward (learning whilst failing) . Dare to Lead™ is for you if you are a leader who wants to become braver in your leadership. \nDelivery:\nDare to Lead™ is a three day skills based curriculum based on research to support brave leaders in your organisation who want to build courageous cultures. This event will be delivered on the 7th\, 8th and 9th June 2022. Attendees will leave the session with a workbook and participate in online evaluation via the team in Houston. Individuals who successfully complete the full Dare to Lead™ programme will receive a certificate of completion and are allowed to put a Dare to Lead™ Trained badge on their LinkedIn account. Please note this doesn’t qualify you to teach the curriculum. If you would like to bring Dare to Lead™ to your organisation please contact us for further information. \nAbout the Facilitator\, Roxanne Hobbs:\nThe course will be facilitated by Roxanne Hobbs (CPCC\, PCC\, DWF\, CDTLF). Roxanne is the founder of The Hobbs Consultancy\, initially founded to effect change for women in the advertising industry. Since then she has come to realise that it isn’t the women that need fixing and that it is not just women who face barriers in the workplace. Roxanne’s specialism is inclusivity in the workplace - how to show up as yourself and how to create teams that feel able to show up as themselves. She believes that it is possible to have a fulfilling career and a happy home life and works with people to achieve just that. \nDare to Lead™ is based on the research of Brené Brown:\nDr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past fifteen years studying courage\, vulnerability\, shame\, and empathy and is the author of three #1 New York Times bestsellers – The Gifts of Imperfection\, Daring Greatly\, and Rising Strong. Her TED talk – The Power of Vulnerability – is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world with over 25 million views.

SUMMARY:Daring Greatly™
DESCRIPTION:Course dates:  31st November and 1st December 2022 \nLondon location: TBC \nDaring Greatly™ is a 2-day psycho-educational workshop which allows leaders to explore what gets in the way of them truly showing up in the workplace. \n"That deep fear we all have of being wrong\, of being belittled and of feeling less than\, is what stops us taking the very risks required to move our companies forward" - Peter Sheahan\, Changelabs\nDaring Greatly™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Brené Brown\, exploring courage and resilience in the workplace. Through the course we will examine the armour we may put on as leaders (such as perfectionism and people pleasing) and work through what stops us from truly showing up. \nDuring the process we will also explore...\n- the beliefs that we hold which stop us from stepping in to our leadership\, our creativity and our innovation - the behaviours that we engage in which get in the way of connection - the attributes and the barriers to empathy in the workplace\, and how to close the gap - the incremental\, small moments that can build or break trust - the importance of vulnerability to unleash vision in the workplace - how choosing courage over comfort will drive leadership behaviors and employee engagement \n\nWhy attend Daring Greatly™?\nDaring Greatly™ is for you if you want to explore how having the courage to be vulnerable could transform the way you live\, love\, lead and parent. \n"Daring Greatly™ is for anyone who wants to be the best they can be\, at work\, at home as a parent... The framework gives you a safe place to really know yourself and what you are striving for. What you learn in the three days you will revisit again and again throughout your life. You will come away wanting more for yourself and the people around you." - Jo Lyall\, CPO\, Mindshare.\n"Daring Greatly™ is an incredible three day experience that anyone who wants to experience a life full of joy should participate in! Roxanne facilitates in a unique way that opens up a warm and sharing environment that allowed us to delve deep into our stories and life experiences. She builds the framework in which we find our own answers and then leaves us with powerful action points and increased awareness of how to step up and make a difference.” - Fiona Flintham\, Marketing Strategist\nThis course is intended to be employer funded.\nHere are some suggested ways to discuss the benefits of your attendance on the course for your company: - The course supports attendees in building their confidence and resilience in the workplace - The course examines concepts such as trust\, empathy and connection in team building - The course gives attendees tools and skills to lead authentically and to collaborate. - The course gives attendees techniques to get braver in their innovation and creativity \nAbout the Facilitator\, Roxanne Hobbs:\nThe course will be facilitated by Roxanne Hobbs (CPCC\, PCC\, DWF\, CDTLF).

SUMMARY:Free Webinar - Managing Through Life Events
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is aimed at line managers\, CPD managers\, and all those who are managing direct reports and will discuss how to become more empathetic and knowledgeable in your support for those going through life events.\nThose going through significant life events have often been asked to continue to turn up at work without their emotions or performance being impacted by what is going on at home. Inclusion is about enabling our colleagues to show up as themselves and not leaving parts of themselves outside of the workplace. Therefore a huge part of the inclusion agenda must be to ensure line managers have the understanding\, empathy and skills to effectively and compassionately support with such life events as they arise. \nThis session will explore maternity\, paternity\, infertility\, bereavement\, miscarriage\, menopause and other unexpected life turns. \nLearning Outcomes:\n\nUnderstanding of why upskilling is required and the difference the line manager can make.\nA sense of the skills that a line manager can lean in to develop so as to support individuals.\nGreater empathy for the experience of individuals going through life events.\nTips and tools to better support direct reports and signposting to further resources.\n\nThis webinar will be led by Roxanne Hobbs and include real life stories from individuals experiencing such events.

SUMMARY:Healthy Dialogue or Cancel Culture? - FREE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Healthy Dialogue or Cancel Culture? \nWith Rox and Adé Adeniji \nCancel culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online\, on social media\, or in person. Those subject to this ostracism are said to have been “cancelled”. \nIn this dialogue\, Rox and Adé will explore the impact of cancel culture. Does it create systemic change and eradicate unpopular and unjust behaviour? Or does it limit constructive dialogue that could create true sustainable change.  We will speak to the fear of engaging in conversation - and the barriers in the way of healthy dialogue. \nWhat is the impact of shutting down? How can we enter conversations with the armour off\, willing to learn and grow? And whose responsibility is this? We will acknowledge polarising topics and suggest tools we can use to keep the conversation going about them\, including boundaries\, the 3 levels of listening\, empathy and self compassion.

SUMMARY:Gender identity and expression in the workplace - FREE webinar
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be honest\, we didn’t manage to get our ducks in a row to explore transgender issues during Pride. But we’re ready now and will do it during National Inclusion Week instead! \nCome and join us for a conversation with Sophie Cook - writer\, speaker\, broadcaster & photographer | LGBT & mental health campaigner | Hon Doctor of Letters | RAF veteran | Self harm and suicide survivor | 13th most influential figure in Brighton\, apparently… oh\, and transgender. We’ve worked closely with Sophie to pull together a fantastic e-learning module which explores gender identity and expression in the workplace. We know how powerful it is to hear people’s stories. So we’ll be hearing her talking about her story\, touching on themes of Gender dysphoria\, mental health and courage. \n“I first came across Sophie when I ran an event called HeANDShe (now Masculinity in the Workplace) and she shared her story there so powerfully.

SUMMARY:Dare to Lead™
DESCRIPTION:Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly\, rise strong\, and brave the wilderness. Now\, based on new research conducted with leaders\, change makers\, and culture shifters\, the new Dare to Lead™ curriculum will show us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles or the corner office. It’s about the willingness to step up\, put yourself out there\, and lean into courage. The world is desperate for braver leaders. It’s time for all of us to step up. This is a curriculum for developing brave leaders and courageous cultures. It’s learning and practice that requires brave work\, tough conversations\, and truly showing up. Daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% teachable. \nThe curriculum addresses key challenges our research suggests that companies are grappling with:\n\nWe avoid tough conversations\, including giving honest\, productive feedback.\nRather than spending a reasonable amount of time proactively acknowledging and addressing the fears and feelings that show up during change and upheaval\, we spend an unreasonable amount of time managing problematic behaviours.\nDiminishing trust caused by a lack of connection and empathy.\nNot enough people are taking smart risks or creating and sharing bold ideasto meet changing demands and the insatiable need for innovation.\nWe get stuck and defined by setbacks\, disappointments\, and failures\, so instead of spending resources on clean-up to ensure that consumers\, stakeholders\, or internal processes are made whole\, we are spending too much time and energy reassuring team members who are questioning their contribution and value.\nToo much shame and blame\, not enough accountability and learning.\nPeople are opting out of vital conversations about diversity and inclusivity because they fear looking wrong\, saying something wrong\, or being wrong. Choosing our own comfort over hard conversations is the epitome of privilege\, and it corrodes trust and moves us away from meaningful and lasting change.\nWhen something goes wrong\, individuals and teams are rushing into ineffective or unsustainable solutions rather than staying with problem identification and solving. When we fix the wrong thing for the wrong reason\, the same problems continue to surface. It’s costly and demoralizing.\nOrganisational values are gauzy and assessed in terms of aspirations rather than actual behaviours that can be taught\, measured\, and evaluated.\nPerfectionism and fear are keeping people from learning and growing.\n\nThe common thread? How we deal with fear. We will teach the skills required to tackle these issues by becoming braver leaders. \nTraining structure:\nPart 1 Rumbling with vulnerability - How we react to fear and choosing to lean in to risk\, uncertainty and emotional exposure. Part 2 Living into Our Values - Clarity on our values and the gap between our desired values and our behaviour. Part 3 Braving Trust - How trust is built and destroyed in organisations. Part 4 Learning to Rise – Resilience; failing forward (learning whilst failing) . Dare to Lead™ is for you if you are a leader who wants to become braver in your leadership. \nDelivery:\nDare to Lead™ is a two day skills based curriculum based on research to support brave leaders in your organisation who want to build courageous cultures. If this pre-planned event has to be delivered virtually\, we will run it over 4 mornings on the 18th\, 19th & 20th May\, 2021. Attendees will leave the session with a beautiful workbook and participate in online evaluation via the team in Houston. Individuals who successfully complete the full 16-hour Dare to Lead™ programme will receive a certificate of completion and are allowed to put a Dare to Lead™ Trained badge on their LinkedIn account. Please note this doesn’t qualify you to teach the curriculum. If you would like to bring Dare to Lead™ to your organisation please contact us for further information. \nAbout the Facilitator\, Roxanne Hobbs:\nThe course will be facilitated by Roxanne Hobbs (CPCC\, PCC\, DWF\, CDTLF). Roxanne is the founder of The Hobbs Consultancy\, initially founded to effect change for women in the advertising industry. Since then she has come to realise that it isn’t the women that need fixing and that it is not just women who face barriers in the workplace. Roxanne’s specialism is inclusivity in the workplace - how to show up as yourself and how to create teams that feel able to show up as themselves. She believes that it is possible to have a fulfilling career and a happy home life and works with people to achieve just that. \nDaring Greatly™ is based on the research of Brené Brown:\nDr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past fifteen years studying courage\, vulnerability\, shame\, and empathy and is the author of three #1 New York Times bestsellers – The Gifts of Imperfection\, Daring Greatly\, and Rising Strong.

SUMMARY:Daring Greatly™
DESCRIPTION:Daring Greatly™ is a psycho-educational workshop which allows leaders to explore what gets in the way of them truly showing up in the workplace. \n"That deep fear we all have of being wrong\, of being belittled and of feeling less than\, is what stops us taking the very risks required to move our companies forward"\n- Peter Sheahan\, Changelabs\nDaring Greatly™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Brené Brown\, exploring courage and resilience in the workplace. Through the course we will examine the armour we may put on as leaders (such as perfectionism and people pleasing) and work through what stops us from truly showing up. \n  \nDuring the process we will also explore...\n- the beliefs that we hold which stop us from stepping in to our leadership\, our creativity and our innovation \n- the behaviours that we engage in which get in the way of connection \n- the attributes and the barriers to empathy in the workplace\, and how to close the gap \n- the incremental\, small moments that can build or break trust \n- the importance of vulnerability to unleash vision in the workplace \n- how choosing courage over comfort will drive leadership behaviors and employee engagement \n\nWhy attend Daring Greatly™?\nDaring Greatly™ is for you if you want to explore how having the courage to be vulnerable could transform the way you live\, love\, lead and parent. \n"Daring Greatly™ is for anyone who wants to be the best they can be\, at work\, at home as a parent... The framework gives you a safe place to really know yourself and what you are striving for. What you learn in the two days you will revisit again and again throughout your life. You will come away wanting more for yourself and the people around you."\n- Jo Lyall\, CPO\, Mindshare.\n"Daring Greatly™ is an incredible two day experience that anyone who wants to experience a life full of joy should participate in! Roxanne facilitates in a unique way that opens up a warm and sharing environment that allowed us to delve deep into our stories and life experiences. She builds the framework in which we find our own answers and then leaves us with powerful action points and increased awareness of how to step up and make a difference.”\n- Fiona Flintham\, Marketing Strategist\nThis course is intended to be employer funded.\nHere are some suggested ways to discuss the benefits of your attendance on the course for your company: \n- The course supports attendees in building their confidence and resilience in the workplace \n- The course examines concepts such as trust\, empathy and connection in team building \n- The course gives attendees tools and skills to lead authentically and to collaborate. \n- The course gives attendees techniques to get braver in their innovation and creativity \nAbout the Facilitator\, Roxanne Hobbs:\nThe course will be facilitated by Roxanne Hobbs (CPCC\, PCC\, DWF\, CDTLF).

SUMMARY:International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2020: Panel talk with Emma Gardner & Will Pike
DESCRIPTION:Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive\, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 World.\nIf you've done our Disability in the Workplace e-learning module\, you'll know that Disabled people are one of the largest and most excluded groups in the workplace. In some ways\, Covid has made the rest of us understand what disabled people have been saying for years : Flexible working and remote working can work! On the other hand\, we also know that Covid is strengthening existing inequality. Here at The Hobbs Consultancy\, we strongly support this year's theme for the 'International day of Persons with Disabilities' - Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive\, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 World. \nCome and join us for a free lunchtime session where we will hear prominent disability activists discuss how we can rebuild in a truly inclusive way. \nOur Panel\nWill Pike\n \nWill became a paraplegic in 2008 when he was injured during the Mumbai Terror Attack. After spending six months being rehabilitated at the Spinal Injury Unit in Stanmore\, he returned home to London and began life as a disabled person. \nWill is a presenter\, writer\, public speaker and disability rights activist. Will advises and speaks on a number of disability related issues; consulting with The Hobbs Consultancy to produce the Disability in the Workplace e-learning module. \n  \nWill is going to talk about his journey with physical accessibility - from an able-bodied man who had never thought about this topic\, he is now a paraplegic who is constantly vigilant to where and how he can access the workplace\, shops and houses. He will talk about how companies can create a more accessible workplace by consulting with disabled people and making adjustments. Finally\, he will touch on how the pandemic has shown that certain ways of working\, which the disabled community have been championing for years\, are in fact possible and effective\, and how we can use this moment as a catalyst for long lasting change. \nEmma Gardner\nCo-Founder at Born Equal Consults\, Emma is passionate about celebrating difference and reframing outdated narratives of disability. She believes in promoting and striving for *The Three Es: Everyday Equity for Everyone. \nShe has worked with charities\, industry bodies\, agencies & clients to raise awareness of the importance of representing & including disability within businesses\, their output & their wider reach. Emma is a regular speaker and commentator on disability – Media Trust\, lbb online\, Creative Brief\, Hubdot\, Interlaced\, Transform & Communicate Magazine\, Zebedee Management. \nEmma is going to talk about how her experience as a parent to a disabled child has forced her to a realisation of just how much "stuff" isn't fit for purpose - whether it's inaccessible\, ugly\, expensive or just not in existence yet. She is on a mission to improve online accessibility and has been helping THC with improving their offering in this area. She wants to be a creator of things that improve day-to-day life and is now working full time to achieve that goal. \n\nOur 60-minute panel talk will be hosted by Roxanne Hobbs\, founder of The Hobbs Consultancy.\n \nRoxanne is a key influencer in driving the Inclusivity and Diversity agenda in the advertising industry\, believing that we need to remove the barriers to success in the workplace and create cultures where people can show up as themselves and be valued for it. \nIn March 2017\, her eldest son was diagnosed with ASD and she was struck immediately by how we ask those that aren't neurotypical to change so they can fit with neurotypical norms.  She is now heavily involved in creating and sustaining a conversation about Neurodiversity in the workplace - believing that there are many people with so much to offer that find it hard to access and to thrive in this environment. \n  \n  \n  \n\nAccess\nUpon signing up for your ticket\, you will receive a diary invite with zoom log in details. If you have any additional needs that we can support you with so that this webinar is accessible to you\, please do get in touch with Emma@thehobbsconsultancy.com \n\nTickets\nYour ticket to this webinar is free\, though you may consider giving a donation to charity Kids\, who are supporting families with disabled children with vital services throughout the pandemic. www.kids.org.uk/donate/give-to-kids/
