ABOUT

Ever been in a conversation where you wanted to say something but didn’t know how? Maybe it was about bias in the workplace, an uncomfortable team dynamic, or just a moment where you knew speaking up could make a difference—but you weren’t sure what to say (or if it would come out right).


That’s exactly what this workshop is for.


We’re bringing people together for a fun, interactive, and super practical online session on Courageous Conversations & DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging). Think of it as your toolkit for handling the tricky stuff—those uncomfortable-but-important discussions that can actually change things when handled well.


What you’ll learn:

  • How to speak up with confidence (even when the topic feels sensitive)
  • Tools for navigating difficult conversations without making it awkward
  • What to do when you don’t have the “right” words
  • How to create a more inclusive, open, and understanding workplace
  • Real-life scenarios & role-play exercises to practise (no boring slides, promise!)


Investment: R1500 per person

Where: Online (so you can join from anywhere!)

When: 14 May, 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM


Why This Workshop Matters (For Everyone, Not Just Leaders)?

Courageous conversations aren’t just for HR or senior leaders. They matter for:

  • New employees navigating workplace culture and team dynamics.
  • Managers & team leads trying to create open, high-performing teams.
  • HR & DEIB champions who need to drive meaningful change.
  • Anyone who’s ever held back from speaking up but wished they hadn’t.


Whether you want to address conflict, advocate for yourself, or be a better ally, this session gives you the tools to do it with confidence and impact.


How to Secure Budget for This Workshop

Many companies have professional development, DEIB, or leadership training budgets that employees may not be aware of. Here’s how to pitch this to your manager:

  • Tie it to business goals – “This will help me improve my communication and collaboration skills, making me a stronger contributor to the team.”
  • Position it as an investment, not an expense – “These skills will help me navigate difficult conversations and contribute to a more inclusive workplace, reducing conflict and improving team performance.”
  • Use available budgets – Check if your company has funds allocated for learning & development, employee wellness, or inclusion initiatives.
  • Group discount option – If multiple employees want to attend, propose a bulk sign-up for better value.
