WEBINAR: Tension to trust — making the invisible visible in diverse teams


17 July 2025

In diverse teams, actions and words that cause harm to some can often go unnoticed by others – especially when they reflect broader societal norms.

This thought-provoking but practical webinar invites participants to explore these dynamics in real time, using their own experiences as a foundation for deeper understanding.

What you’ll gain from this webinar:

  • A deeper understanding of how microaggressions and slights, often invisible to many, can undermine team dynamics.
  • Practical vocabulary for recognising and discussing difficult interpersonal moments.
  • Frameworks for holding conversations that transform tension into trust through meaningful dialogue.
  • Tools to build psychological safety and strengthen team cohesion.

When: Tuesday 16th September 2025 | 9.30 – 10.30 am

Booking: Limited to 35 places | Book now or register interest
