How to Run Effective Meetings and Workshops

The Development and Alumni Relations Office is delighted to invite you to our next online event organised by the Women's Network. If you would like to join us please book your place here.

As women, we often encounter bias and undermining behaviour relating to our gender (and also other characteristics such as race and age) that can undermine our leadership in presentations, meetings, workshops and the workplace generally. In response to needs identified by St John’s women, the Women’s Network will run an online workshop to examine the ingredients for successful meetings/workshops, how group dynamics work and managing difficult situations.

This session will be led by Alex Bollen (1991, History), one of our Steering Group members, who has many years’ experience facilitating groups and workshops. Alex is a self-employed research consultant who has worked with a wide range of clients over the years, from Spotify to Ipsos, and is currently contracted by the UK government to provide training in qualitative research. Alex is also an NCT Postnatal Practitioner and her first book, on motherhood, is due to be published by Verso next year (see: https://www.mooball.co.uk/about).

The session will be interactive and there will be the opportunity for participants to share experiences and perspectives.

Register here. We look forward to you joining us online.
