Networking is a very important part of supporting our Women in Transport members, especially during these difficult and uncertain times.
Our regular live Zoom sessions have become a regular feature on the Women in Transport calendar and we hope you will join us for our next virtual meet up.
At our recent sessions we have been delighted to get to know some of our members better.
These conversations are providing an opportunity to share and learn from each other's experiences on topics ranging from the Covid-19 pandemic, through a range of issues such as the progress of ED & I, the role of male allies, how women can help each other advance their careers and whether remote working is the way forward.
At our next session we will be talking about:
Allies
We hear and talk a lot about the importance of male allies in supporting and promoting women in the transport industry, but what does good allyship actually look like?
In this Live Networking session we will explore the examples of allyship that we have experienced, as well as those times where we were hoping for something that we didn’t get.
What constitutes good allyship for you? Maybe a male colleague spoke up for your idea, maybe a leader encouraged you to apply for a promotion that you would not otherwise have thought yourself ready for. Or maybe someone told you afterwards that he had stayed silent when he noticed that someone had spoken or behaved inappropriately. Take a moment to think of examples to share. What did the person actually do, and how did it feel?
Women in Transport is planning an event on allyship in the Autumn so we’d love to hear experiences from our members that we can feed into that.
Come along and join in the discussion.
Please note that, as we have limited time and to avoid disturbing the discussion, you will not be able access the session after 5.10pm, so please join promptly.
We look forward to talking to you there.
This event is only open to Women in Transport members.
