We partnered with Circor for International Women’s Day – March 8, 2021, the theme for which was #ChooseToChallenge. The theme reminded us that a challenged world is a changed world, and without individuals willing to challenge the status quo (which had led to gender inequity for so many, for so long), things would never truly change. For that reason, our focus in this workshop was on communicating effectively to encourage assertiveness in individuals raising these challenges.
#ChooseToChallenge - International Women’s Day 2021
International Women’s Day is upon us! This year’s theme is Choose To Challenge.
Since the start of the pandemic, we have seen an abundance of data and research done on the impact of the pandemic on women.
With this abundance of data comes a long list of ways we can choose to challenge in 2021. At Gild Collective, we’re focusing on a few areas to drive impact—both in our own lives and within the organizations we work with to shift workplace cultures and break down gender barriers.
Case Study: Confident Communications During Job Searching for Xavier University Alumni
The economy, like every other aspect of life, what rocked in unprecedented ways when COVID-19 hit in early 2020. The Xavier University Office of Alumni Engagement (a longtime partner of ours) decided to provide the graduating seniors and alumni community with resources for the daunting task of job searching during an economic downturn. We created this session, Confident Communications During Job Searching, to help them on their job search journeys.
Case Study: Communicating Confidently and Assertively with Ribbon Home
We joined Ribbon to present a Communicating Confidently and Assertively session for the entire organization. It was well attended with an extremely engaged group of attendees, especially their CEO. All of the employees came to the session with a central goal of improving the culture of assertive communication within Ribbon, and with one another.
