Imagine a world where everyone thought of themselves as a leader. Where problematic behaviour wasn't ignored because people felt too unsure about how to handle it. Effective leadership is what stands between us and a peaceful, safe society. True change starts with us as individuals.
In alignment with Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in May, this professional development webinar will be delivered by Griffith's MATE Bystander program. Join expert facilitator and MATE Bystander Director, Shaan Ross-Smith, to learn about personal leadership, being an effective bystander and implementing an intervention toolkit for the workplace.
Griffith's MATE Bystander program challenges the root attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that normalise violence against women, inequality, racism, discrimination and bullying within our society. In order to facilitate change, there needs to be an open dialogue about the dynamics and context of all forms of violence. MATE Bystander training is based on the idea that not only do we have an opportunity to do the important work around raising the bar on acceptable behaviour, we have a responsibility.
This one-hour webinar will help you:
- Discover your personal leadership and your sphere of influence
- Recognise the importance of ourselves as personal leaders in the workplace
- Learn about the role of the bystander and what impact they can have
- Understand the psychological and social barriers to becoming an effective bystander, how to have the courage to intervene and apply this to your workplace specific scenarios
- Learn how to respectfully challenge attitudes that maintain status-quo and support problematic behaviour to occur
- Discover the MATE Bystander Intervention Toolkit, a practical tool for implementation
- Apply the framework to real world scenarios
