Workshop

Own Your Seat at the Table™

Own Your Seat at the Table™ is an interactive workshop for women's leadership programs, ERG/BRG audiences and leadership-development cohorts.

  • ERG and BRG cohorts
  • Leadership-development and high-potential programs

What the cohort practices

  • Practice describing contribution clearly and without overstatement.
  • Prepare for the specific rooms and conversations that matter now.

Program questions

What L&D teams ask

How is the workshop different from the keynotes?
It is an applied working session. Participants practice describing their contribution, prepare for specific rooms and conversations, and use exercises, templates and small-group discussion rather than listening to a general session.
Who should be in the room?
Women's leadership programs and networks, ERG and BRG cohorts, and leadership-development or high-potential cohorts.
What formats are available?
A workshop or breakout session, a leadership-development cohort adaptation, and a virtual or hybrid adaptation where appropriate.
Can it follow a keynote at the same event?
Yes. It is frequently paired as the applied session after a keynote so the cohort practices the same frameworks and leaves with a committed visible action.
