How confident do you feel at work?
As neurodivergent women, we encounter the same systemic barriers in the workplace as neurotypical women, such as the gender pay gap and the glass ceiling. We also face additional unique challenges which can contribute to difficulties in navigating our careers, impacting our overall sense of achievement.
Join us for an insightful and uplifting discussion where we will be exploring the careers of neurodivergent women, looking at what we can do to transform our work lives by empowering ourselves.
Our chair and speakers have a wealth of valuable knowledge, lived experience and expertise from working across a variety of industries. We will explore a range of subjects including:
Building confidence and resilience
Developing your self esteem
Advocating for yourself
The importance of your support system
Navigating challenging situations
You will leave this session with practical tips, advice and hopefully feeling encouraged.
This is a free online event via Zoom.
