About this FieldTrip

In this FieldTrip we’ll use real life scenarios of gender bias, recreated by professional actors, to start a conversation on how to respond to subtle, everyday instances of gender bias.

We’ll look at real life instances of gender inequality to identify some of the harmful behaviours perpetuated by gender bias. We’ll start a conversation on how we can respond in order to create more gender inclusive work cultures.

You’ll leave with practical actions to implement at work in order to challenge gender bias.

Agenda

  • The workshop will be split into three parts: Part One is acknowledging the problem, Part Two is identifying ways to respond, and Part Three is committing to actions you’ll takeaway and implement in order to squash gender bias.
  • The workshop will centre around 2 pre-recorded videos, performed by actors, in which we look at some of the everyday ways women are held back in the workplace (in meetings, in performance appraisals etc.)
  • We'll facilitate discussion around the impact of these behaviours and your facilitator will share practical actions you can use to respond to gender inequality in the workplace. 
  • We'll finish the session by identifying which of these actions you can take forward and implement.
  • You are welcome to share your own experiences ut also it's fine to show up and listen and learn from others.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)

We’ll be there during the event to answer all your questions and make you feel at home
