Women in Rail Scotland is delighted to invite you to attend an exciting Workshop in partnership with Network Rail and Inspire – ‘From Competition to Collaboration’.
This workshop has been previously delivered very successfully within Network Rail, by Inspire Scotland, Scotland’s Railway equality network. They have now very kindly offered to give Women in Rail Scotland members the opportunity to take part in the workshop, which explores the role of internalised misogyny in building gender equality.
Participants will learn how to define what internalised misogyny is and how to identify it within themselves. They will also learn how to challenge gender stereotypes and bias.
Key learning outcomes:
• Understand how to clarify the concept internalised misogyny and explain how it manifests in a male-dominated industry.
• Explore the various ways individuals may internalize societal prejudices and norms, affecting their own beliefs, thoughts, and actions.
• Recognise signs of internalised misogyny within themselves.
• Understand common negative beliefs and self-limiting behaviours that stem from internalised misogyny, such as self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or a fear of asserting oneself
• Explore the impact of gender stereotypes and unconscious biases on career progression.
• Discuss common biases faced and provide strategies to challenge and overcome them
From Competition to Collaboration Workshop will be facilitated by Michelle Parkes, Senior Surveyor, Network Rail & Co-chair, Inspire Scotland , and Kirsty Diamond, Culture and Engagement Business Partner, Scotland’s Railway.
