Professional Conflict Resolution: We all encounter challenges in the workplace—miscommunications, differing opinions, and difficult conversations are a natural part of professional life.

Salary Negotiations: Advocating for yourself in the workplace can feel intimidating—especially when it comes to salary discussions. How do you know what you’re worth? When is the right time to bring up a raise? How do you make your case with confidence? Whether you're stepping into your first role or looking to take the next step in your career, understanding the art of negotiation is a game-changer. In this interactive session, we’ll dive into key strategies to help you approach these conversations with clarity and self-assurance.

Public speaking: Public speaking is one of the most valuable skills you can develop, yet it’s something many of us struggle with. Whether it’s speaking up in meetings, giving a presentation, or pitching an idea, the ability to communicate clearly and confidently can make all the difference. But how do you overcome nervousness? How do you engage your audience and make an impact? In this session, we’ll explore ways to turn public speaking from a fear into a strength. Our speakers will share real experiences, practical techniques, and tips to help you own your voice. Come ready to learn, practice, and gain the confidence to speak up when it matters most.
Inclusive Leadership: Leadership isn’t just about managing people—it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to succeed. But what does that actually look like in practice? How can you promote inclusivity and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in your professional world? In this workshop, we’ll explore what it means to be an inclusive leader, regardless of your title or career stage. Through shared experiences, key insights, and open discussion, you’ll gain tools to help foster a more equitable and supportive workplace.
