In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how tangible and successful allyship happens on the ground. First, participants will reconnect with baseline knowledge about power, privilege, identity, and intersectionality. Then, participants will explore what allyship means on the ground and how they can become more effective allies. What does it mean to be an ally? How does allyship differ across various identities and various issues? When should an ally step in, and when should an ally defer to someone else? We'll discuss all these strategies and more.

People form judgments about others in the workplace based on behaviour, attitude, speech, and appearance. The impressions that individuals communicate to others (positive or negative) can help move them ahead professionally, or can slow down their career progress and even create conflict in the workplace. This session will give participants an understanding of the importance of professional behaviour in the workplace and what it involves.
