SUMMARY:Everyone Has a Part to Play: Empowerment and Allyship for International Women’s Day
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Alex Knight MBE FIMechE & Jemima Wade \nEmpowering women at work is not just the right thing to do. It delivers measurable impact for individuals\, teams and organisations. Evidence consistently shows that when allyship is active and intentional\, women are more likely to stay\, progress and thrive. \nThis International Women’s Day\, we’re focusing on what empowerment and allyship actually look like in practice\, and how everyone has a role to play. \nWhat to expect \nJemima’s session: What empowerment really looks like \nJemima will explore what genuine empowerment means beyond policies and pledges. Drawing on her experience at Heineken\, she will share how allyship is built into everyday behaviours\, the mindset shifts that have made a real difference\, and what senior leaders and men in particular need to understand if allyship is going to move from intention to impact. \nAlex Knight: Visibility\, role models and changing systems \nAlex will share the impact of STEMAZING and why representation and role models matter so deeply. She’ll explore how visibility empowers women individually while also challenging and reshaping systems\, and share a real story that brings the importance of allyship and representation to life. \nMini panel discussion: Allyship that works \nIn a practical panel conversation\, we’ll unpack the biggest misconceptions about allyship\, highlight small actions that can have a big impact\, and focus on what attendees can realistically start doing tomorrow. This session is designed to move the conversation from awareness to action. \nLive Q&A \nWe’ll close with a live Q&A\, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions\, reflect on their own role\, and leave with clear\, practical takeaways. \nWho should attend \nThis webinar is for anyone who wants to better understand how empowerment and allyship work in real workplaces\, including leaders\, managers\, men who want to be effective allies\, and anyone passionate about creating more inclusive environments. \nJoin us this International Women’s Day to explore how small\, intentional actions can create lasting change\, and how everyone truly does have a part to play. \n\nAbout the facilitators  \nAlex Knight MBE FIMechE\nFounder\, STEMAZING  \nAlex is a multi-award-winning Engineer and Entrepreneur. After a career of almost 20 years in Industry working in engineering consultancy and innovation\, she founded STEMAZING – a social enterprise dedicated to inspiration and inclusion in STEM.  \nThrough STEMAZING Alex leads several not-for-profit initiatives to empower women in STEM and link this to inspiring our future generations of innovators and problem-solvers. In the last 5 years STEMAZING has trained over 700 women in STEM globally on their Inspiration Academy programme to level-up as visible role models and they have collectively delivered over 190\,000 STEMAZINGKids engagements for 7 – 9-year-olds in areas of deprivation. \nAlex is also Mentor\, Trainer\, Visiting Professor and TEDx speaker.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity and Hormones
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Dr Alice Siberry \nOverview: This informative and engaging webinar will introduce attendees to the foundations of neurodiversity and will focus on understanding how hormones interact with different neurotypes. \nKey content areas: \n01. What is Neurodiversity? \nWe will begin with a broad definition of neurodiversity and outline some commonly recognised diagnosable neurodivergent differences. \n02. The Role of Hormones \nA central part of the session will examine how hormones influence the brain\, especially in neurodivergent people. Topics will include: menstrual cycles and ovulation\, puberty\, pregnancy and menopause\, post-natal depression and Premenstrual Dysphoria Disorder (PMDD). This webinar will also discuss how hormonal fluctuations affect men’s cognitive functions\, emotional regulation and behaviour. \n03. Best practice for support and inclusion \nWhile hormonal fluctuations are part of the human experience\, the webinar will share best practices for supporting people who may face compounded challenges due to neurodivergence and hormonal shifts. This includes workplace strategies and practical adjustments. \nLanguage in this webinar will be clear\, direct and rooted in scientific accuracy. We will be talking frankly about bodies and biology. \nWe do use gender-neutral language to ensure inclusivity. This includes recognising that people of all genders experience hormonal changes and neurodivergence. As such\, we will avoid gendered assumptions\, particularly related to issues like menstruation and pregnancy. \nSome topics in this session include sensitive content related to mental health. \nAbout Facilitator: Dr Alice Siberry \nAlice received her PhD in Criminology and Law from the University of Sheffield in July 2021. She also holds a first-class degree in Counselling\, Coaching and Mentoring and an MSc Psychology degree. \nThroughout her studies\, Alice continued to gain experience in the Criminal Justice sector and the neurodiversity sector. She has worked with North and West Yorkshire Police\, and the Independent Office of Police Conduct. She also lectured at the University of Sheffield and York St John University\, where she worked primarily with neurodivergent students. \nAlice is a Specialist Criminal Justice Neurodiversity Consultant at Creased Puddle. Continuing her personal and professional passion for neurodiversity\, she delivers training and consultancy to a wide range of businesses and organisations\, including police organisations. Alice is also highly experienced in managing the most complex and high-profile Workplace Needs Assessments across the Criminal Justice sector. \nAs Academic Lead\, she bridges academic research with practical applications\, ensuring innovative and evidence-informed approaches to neurodiversity in the workplace. She also collaborates with universities on consultancy research projects\, providing tailored solutions informed by her academic and practical experience. \nAlice is also a Research Affiliate with the ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre and in recognition of her research contributions\, she was awarded the Translational Fellowship in 2024 to investigate Counter Terrorism practitioners’ perspectives of neurodivergent people and their vulnerability to radicalisation by online algorithms. This fellowship supports her ongoing research into neurodiversity\, particularly within policing. Her first book\, “Diversity\, Difference or Disorder: Neurodiversity in British Policing”\, is currently in development and will be published in early 2026.
