Feminist Fight Club: An Office Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace

Part I: Finding the Middle Path (1 hour)
We’ve all been there. We’ve all experienced those uncomfortable moments when a co-worker makes a comment that is inappropriate or downright offensive. Often, we are caught off guard and go into “fight or flight” mode. We either laugh nervously, say nothing and then kick ourselves for being a coward later or we react so strongly that we are dismissed as being too sensitive. This workshop will show you how to respond in a better way that promotes inclusivity and without compromising your own values. You will walk away from this workshop with a thought-out, rehearsed response that will allow you to respond in an empowered and inclusive way. There will be role play. You will laugh hysterically. Guaranteed.
Part II: Getting Out of Our Own Way (1 hour)
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. From body language to negative self-talk to our negotiation skills to our tendency to overuse exclamation points in emails, we often undermine our own careers by a lack of self-confidence and an overriding need to please. This portion of the workshop will identify how we get in our own way and the way of others. You will walk away from this workshop with increased self-awareness that will empower you to become your own PR expert. We all do some of this. You are not alone. Guaranteed.
