The focus of this presentation is on careers, goal-setting, and courageous conversations. We begin with a discussion on how gender-roles affect our career paths by identifying "female" vs "male" careers in order to broaden the conversation to how gender-bias can affect the choices we make. We include implicit bias in this conversation before moving on to address gender stereotyping and how it affects the number of women who take up leadership roles. We identify the difference between a short term and a long-term goal and offer the acronym of SMART for goal setting: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. We then explain what a growth mindset is, and encourage them to adopt it: for example, we don't see mistakes as setbacks, but rather as learning opportunities. We end on how we can handle stress, navigate high expectations, and manage difficult feelings.

The focus of this presentation is communication, empathy, and advocacy. We begin with a discussion on what makes a good leader, and identify strong female leaders in the world who we can look to as role models. We then move on to identify different communication types (verbal and non-verbal), and communication styles (passive, assertive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive). We encourage girls to adopt an assertive communication style, as it allows us to clearly state needs, wants, and thoughts respectfully. We discuss the importance of body language while communicating before addressing the role of empathy. We first ask why empathy is important, and how empathy can look in our personal lives and as a global citizen. We end on a discussion of advocacy: both self-advocacy and how we can advocate for others.

The focus of this presentation is critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making. We begin with a discussion around assumptions and getting curious, identify that an important leadership quality is exploring new ideas, regularly ask uncomfortable questions to see the bigger picture. We discuss why this may feel difficult to direct at ourselves and our beliefs. We then distinguish between taking a critical lens and criticism and discuss when the right time is to use a critical lens. We go over the steps to problem-solving before moving on to a discussion on decision-making and navigating difficult decisions, like relationships, career choices, peer pressure, and more. We encourage collaborating with others to help with difficult decisions, and tie that back to leadership qualities. We end on how to identify and respond to controversy.

Unapologetically Me Presented by Halton Women's Place in Partnership with She Can!

Details: For girls (inclusive of transgender & cisgender) & non-binary youth
Date: July 3rd
Time: 12:30pm-1:30pm
Age: 14-17 Years (must have started Grade 9)
Cost: No Cost
Location: 410 Bronte St. S

The focus of this presentation is to build self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-worth. After an initial icebreaker activity, we dive into why girls tend to have a lower self-esteem, and ask them: what makes you self-conscious? Why do we care about what others think, and who are we worried about? We go on to discuss what external pressures we experience as girls and women, why they may be damaging, and how we can overcome them by (for instance) using affirmations to increase our self-esteem and self-confidence. We engage in an activity that asks girls to list their strengths and values and discuss how we can use these lists to empower ourselves.
