SUMMARY:NARTI - CYGNA North In Person Event: Finding Your Voice and Making 
 it Heard
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE! \nCYGNA North In-Person Event: Finding your Voi
 ce and Making it Heard\n \nJoin us in Leeds for a fantastic event organis
 ed through CYGNA North and the Northern Advanced Research Training Initiat
 ive (NARTI). This is a call to save the date and we will be in touch after
  the summer with further details\, speaker bios and how to register. \nSu
 mmary:\nStanding up and speaking up can be challenging for many people but
  can be even tricker for some groups of people\, e.g.\, women. Research by
  Karpowitz et al. (2012) show that in meetings on average women spoke sign
 ificantly less than men. Not speaking up can hold back one’s career as i
 t affects their visibility in the workplace. Although the number of female
  academics has grown in recent years across different disciplines\, men st
 ill outnumber women in leadership positions. Even for those female leaders
 \, it is a sadly familiar story of them being interrupted\, talked over or
  ignored.\nThis workshop aims to explore such questions as: 1) how to find
  your authentic voice and deliver your vision to inspire others and make a
 uthoritative contributions to the discussion? 2) how to comfortably talk a
 bout your experience\, accomplishment and strength? 3) how to overcome imp
 oster syndrome? 4) what cultural changes are needed to ensure that women
 ’s voice is heard?\nProgramme:\n12:00 – 13:00    Welcome and lunch\n
