Diversity
This session has been designed to support organisations as they endeavour to build a more diverse and more inclusive workplace. Industry relies on creativity and innovation to get ahead - skills that are not bound by gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or age. In fact, having a more diverse group of people working in an agency should mean that we perform better with a more diverse range of opinions and approaches around the table. As such, this workshop helps us to understand the business case for diversity, how our unconscious biases may get in the way of creating greater diversity and the actions we can take to change our workplace culture.
Inclusion
The skills needed at the top of organisations are changing - increasingly we are looking for authentic leadership where leaders can see systems, navigate conflict and respond with empathy in uncertain times. Inclusive leadership is critical to supporting all talent to flourish and progress within the business, and this workshop will demonstrate what inclusive behaviours look like. Specifically we will explore authentic and vulnerable leadership (in juxtaposition to the coerce and control model of the twentieth century), navigating conflict and understanding systems.
- Be able to articulate the business case for diversity and inclusivity, and the difference between diversity and inclusivity
- To hold an increased understanding of their own internal biases and how this might influence their decision making.
- Clarity on what inclusive leadership and inclusive behaviours look like and how it is everyone’s responsibility to ‘lead’ in this arena.
Roxanne is the founder of The Hobbs Consultancy, initially founded to effect change for women in the advertising industry. Since then she has come to realise that it isn’t the women that need fixing and that it is not just women who face barriers in the workplace.
“I founded The Hobbs Consultancy because of a deep-seated belief that the advertising industry had to, and could, do better to support women. Whilst this journey began with supporting women, and gender diversity, it has become clear to me that diversity is about so much more than gender.
I believe that creating more diversity in the advertising industry is going to make our work more creative, our consumer work more insightful and also make it a richer and more varied place to work. It is business critical.”
Roxanne’s specialism is inclusivity in the workplace - how to show up as yourself and how to create teams that feel able to show up as themselves. She supports the transition from management to leadership, pulling out the limiting beliefs that might hold people back - such as perfectionism.
She also specialises in the maternity transition - supporting women through this vulnerable and transformational part of their careers. She believes that it is possible to have a fulfilling career and a happy home life and works with women to achieve just that.
She is also the founder of the HeANDShe conference - designed to bring men along to the gender conversation, and explore how both men and women are held back by gender stereotypes. Roxanne was a managing partner at a top media agency and so understands the pressures at a senior level in this industry. She coaches extensively in media agencies, creative agencies, media owners, FMCG marketing departments and privately on a one-to-one basis. A certified co-active coach who is also trained in the work of Brené Brown, Roxanne is warm, compassionate and challenging. She exemplifies inclusivity in her work, her approach and how she runs The Hobbs Consultancy.
