SUMMARY:Banter and Inclusive Language
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Chris Allan \nIt’s Just Banter is a practical\, interactive lunch-and-learn workshop that explores how everyday language\, jokes\, and “harmless” banter can impact inclusion\, wellbeing\, and psychological safety at work. The session helps teams understand where the line is\, why it matters\, and how to challenge problematic behaviour confidently and constructively — without fear of “saying the wrong thing.” \nKey outcomes: \n\nA clearer understanding of when banter crosses the line into exclusion or harm\nIncreased confidence to call in or challenge language in the moment\nPractical tools and shared language to support a more respectful\, inclusive workplace culture\n\n\nAbout the facilitator \nHi\, I’m Chris. \nFor years\, I’ve worked with organisations for the past 9 years\, who care about inclusion\, but aren’t always sure how to put it into practice. \nMany feel overwhelmed by the language\, worried about saying the wrong thing\, or frustrated by initiatives that look good on paper but don’t change everyday behaviour. \nMy approach is honest\, practical\, and grounded in real conversations. I don’t do jargon or judgement — just clear\, supportive guidance that helps people navigate tricky topics with confidence and care.

SUMMARY:How Do We Continue Our Work: Repairing Narratives
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Mabinty Esho  \nThe conversation around inclusion is shifting\, and the leaders who will continue to move this work forward are the ones willing to evolve how they do it. In this session\, Mabinty will explore four anchors for repairing and progressing the narrative: better business partnering\, data-driven DEI\, linking the work clearly to ROI\, and building the coalitions that make change durable. Expect a candid look at how culture and inclusion leaders can position themselves as genuine strategic partners rather than service providers\, how data can be used to sharpen rather than soften the case for change\, and how to articulate impact in the language the business already speaks. Mabinty will also share what she has learned about building the cross-functional coalitions that hold this work steady when the political weather changes. The session closes with 15 minutes for open Q&A. \n\nAbout the facilitator \nMabinty Esho is a Culture and Inclusion specialist\, executive coach\, and Head of Culture and Inclusion at Comic Relief. She works at the intersection of identity\, impact and intention\, helping leaders build workplaces where people and performance thrive together. Mabinty has led organisation-wide culture transformation\, launched anti-racism and Cultural Intelligence programmes\, and positioned inclusion as a board-level priority. She is currently completing her ILM Level 7 in Executive Coaching and Mentoring and supports senior leaders across charity\, corporate\, healthcare and education sectors. Known for her warm\, direct style\, Mabinty creates spaces that are honest\, human and practical\, equipping leaders to turn values into everyday behaviours that shape truly inclusive cultures.
