Hear from our attendees
This event has encouraged me to broaden my perception and thinking on a range of topics, predominantly the way I adopt and establish diversity throughout my team and create a psychologically safe and inclusive environment for all to be and share their best version of themselves with others.
The Symposium provided a great insight into areas for development and improvement.
As someone who is looking to be promoted in my workplace within the next 6 months, it gave me a lot of good techniques and got me thinking about the type of leader I want to be.
After today, I feel braver to just ask, just ask the question, people want to feel heard.
The Symposium gave me so many insights into where I can direct my energy towards progress and equity.
Outstanding selection of presenters, it was great to see diversity on many levels.
