📢 Join Us for the 2025 Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) Deep Dive Webinar with UN Women and Silatha: The Unspoken Topics – Building Stronger Teams Through Empathy and Understanding 🚨 Why this matters: In many workplaces, natural yet complex experiences—like hormonal cycles, fertility journeys, miscarriage, parenthood, (peri)menopause, and neurodiversity—remain unspoken, often leading to stigma and a lack of understanding. This silence affects not just employees' confidence but also team dynamics and leadership effectiveness. 💡 What you'll gain: 1. Psychological Safety: Discover how addressing these topics fosters safer workplace cultures. 2. Empathetic Leadership: Understand the hidden struggles that may be impacting your team. 3. Actionable Steps: Learn practical ways to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. 🗓️ Date & Time: 28 January 2025 at 15:00 - 16:15 CET 🎙️ Speaker: Veroniek Vermeulen, Founder of Silatha 📍 Location: Zoom  👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eDq5pww5 Let’s lead the way in driving transformation through breaking taboos and building better workplaces! #InclusiveWorkplace #Leadership #Empathy #SilathaXUNWomen #TabooTopics #PsychologicalSafety #WEPs #InclusiveWorkplace #PsychologicalSafety #EmpathyAtWork #WorkplaceWellness Silatha Maja Löfström

In today’s diverse work environments, fostering equity, inclusion, and respect isn’t just a "nice-to-have"—it’s essential for team success and organizational growth. In our insightful conversation with Christian Pierce, Sr researcher at University of St.Gallen and teaching assistant at MIT Professional Education we discussed strategies that can help reduce biases in team dynamics and everyday workplace interactions. Here are the key takeaways: 1. Diversity sparks creativity and innovation but can increase conflicts if not managed well. True success lies in being able to balance diversity, inclusion, and equity. 2. Inclusive leaders are vital for team success because by fostering a shared vision and promoting values of inclusion and equity, they ensure every voice is acknowledged and respected. 3. Inclusivity also means giving team members the freedom to contribute in their own way, whether through active participation or simply listening. 4. Conflicts should arise from tangible issues, like missed deadlines or underperformance—not biases based on someone’s background or identity. At Silatha, we offer a Bias Awareness Training Program designed to help organizations recognize, address, and mitigate biases in the workplace. The program includes: 🔹 Expert-led workshops 🔹 Interactive learning through exercises and games 🔹 Monthly-led team workshops 🔹 Reflection and goal setting for actionable change 🔹 A library of self-guided resources 🔹 And more! Organizations with inclusive cultures are not only better equipped to handle challenges but also excel at achieving their shared goals. How is your organization addressing biases to foster inclusion?

Shh... Don’t Talk About Menopause! "Don’t mention menopause, or it’ll be another reason not to promote women!" I hear this all too often. But why shouldn’t we talk about it? Menopause isn’t a hindrance—it’s a doorway to a new chapter, an upgrade. As women step through this door, they enter a life stage where drive, focus, and wisdom come together in ways that are urgently needed in leadership. Menopause, a natural phase for half of the global population, often aligns with the moment women are ready to step into top leadership roles. Yet, workplace stigma tries to shut that door. The truth? On the other side is renewed energy, focus, and wisdom. Far from being a disadvantage, women in menopause bring unique perspectives that companies desperately need. With experience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate complexity, they are invaluable assets. Women in menopause are often more empathetic than their male counterparts, while sharpening their focus. Once they cross this threshold, women become the future CEOs and top leaders. We can try to hide what’s behind the door, but studies show that women who embrace and openly discuss their menopause are seen as more confident, emotionally stable, and capable leaders. Imagine a team meeting where, instead of hiding a hot flush or brain fog, a woman addresses it head-on. Research shows that women who do this are perceived as more self-assured and emotionally balanced—traits critical for leadership. It’s time to change the narrative. Let’s celebrate this transition as the doorway to the next phase, where women—especially post-menopause—emerge as the focused, empathetic leaders of tomorrow. What are your thoughts?

Every challenge we face is a chance to grow, every mistake is a lesson in disguise, and every effort we put in brings us closer to our goals. This powerful mindset is essential for both personal and professional growth because: 🔹 Pushing our boundaries leads to the discovery of new strengths. 🔹 Making mistakes allows us to learn valuable lessons from them rather than viewing them as setbacks.  🔹 Enjoying our efforts means finding fulfillment in the journey, not just the destination.  🔹 Committing to continuous learning keeps us adaptable and innovative in an ever-changing world. Here’s to embracing growth, learning from every experience, and striving to be our best selves. #GrowthMindset #ContinuousImprovement #ProfessionalDevelopment #KeepLearning #EmbraceChallenges #PersonalGrowth #Thriving #Resilience #Innovation #LearningJourney
