What Participants Are Saying About CEC:
It was a really really great series of sessions. Huge thank you!
It's taught me how to be a better advocate for myself and my colleagues in the workplace but also helped me understand myself and my disabilities better. Thank you.
The three learning stages were really insightful, and on a reflective personal note, I can now understand my challenges at school.
``We contracted Microlink to tailor a series of four workshops, initially to support our staff disability network around increasing confidence and empowerment…
``Sessions were fun and engaging, and feedback from both the staff network members and wider organisation was fantastic. They were pitched at the right level to inform and educate, while allowing reflection and application real life situations.
``This was particularly powerful for the wider organisation as it enabled them to think more about the challenges disabled people in the workplace could face.
``We would thoroughly recommend using the skills of Marius and Tracey and Microlink in the future.``
Why Sign Up For CEC?
It can be hard for teams and individuals to address or overcome often-hidden, systemic barriers to progress in workplace. These unseen barriers can lead to:
- A lack of confidence in abilities and the suppression of talent.
- A deep-set belief that some need to work harder than others to prove themselves, or even to get noticed.
- A lack of confidence on how to tackle entrenched attitudes and bias, and to manage difficult conversations in a positive way.
- Reticence to take time for self-care and push for support when needed.
- A tendency to downplay and dismiss their feelings and experience.
- Difficulties in celebrating the positive things “being different” can bring.
What is required is a specialist programme to help colleagues in under-represented groups to develop professionally, to improve agency, leadership capability and ultimately to drive the development of a culture of inclusivity.
Each element of the training plan is carefully crafted, employing key approaches for effective adult learning.:
- Instil insights.
- Support reflective practice.
- Develop techniques.
- Embed practice.
