Ever noticed that men and women may be treated differently in exactly the same circumstances?
Sometimes this is due to outdated, sexist, conscious beliefs about the difference between men and women’s abilities, roles, responsibilities and potential.
And sometimes it’s due to our unconscious system’s tendency to categorise people according to gender – which we have no idea it’s doing. As a result, no matter how ardent our conscious desire to treat everyone as individuals, gender often plays a significant role in how we assess, respond to and communicate with other human beings.
While gender equality has come a long way in recent years, gender can still play a big role in our personal and professional relationships, in our career decisions and in our self-belief and confidence.
In this highly interactive session you'll learn:
Understand the difference between ‘hostile’ and ‘benevolent’ sexism.
Identify ‘Red Flags’ for sexism.
Learn how to respond constructively to sexist assumptions, language, behaviours and processes in different contexts and environments.
