From early career professionals taking their first steps into responsibility to senior managers navigating complex organisational dynamics, leadership development is essential to long term success. Through effective training, mentoring and experiential learning, emerging leaders gain the confidence, emotional intelligence and strategic awareness needed to guide teams and shape culture. In today’s fast-changing world, the ability to grow leaders who can think critically, act decisively, and inspire authentically is more than a competitive advantage. It is a necessity. Understanding Leadership Development in Today’s... - [Customer Service Training: How to Give Feedback That Improves Performance](https://stepsdrama.com/customer-service-training-how-to-give-feedback/): [vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] Delivering outstanding customer service takes more than product knowledge or efficient systems. It depends on people, their communication style, and their ability to adapt to each situation. Customer service training course helps employees develop the confidence and awareness to engage with customers in a way that feels genuine and effective. It strengthens listening skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to resolve challenges calmly. Through a combination of behavioural insight, practical coaching, and experiential learning, it builds a team that not only meets expectations but exceeds them. The outcome is a consistent,... - [Unconscious Bias: What It Is, How It’s Formed & How to Overcome It](https://stepsdrama.com/unconscious-bias-how-to-overcome-it/): [vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] Unconscious bias refers to the automatic judgments and assumptions we make without realising, shaped by personal experiences, cultural norms, and social conditioning. While these biases are a natural part of human cognition, they can subtly influence workplace decisions, affecting recruitment, performance evaluations, team collaboration, and client interactions. Understanding unconscious bias involves three key aspects, recognising what it is, exploring how it is formed, and learning how to overcome it. By examining these dimensions, organisations can foster fairness, strengthen workplace culture, and implement effective strategies that encourage lasting behavioural change. Understanding Unconscious... - [Steps Open Session - 16 December 2025 Negotiation Skills](https://stepsdrama.com/open-session-16-december-negotiation-skills/): [vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Title: Negotiation Skills   Date: Tuesday, 16 December 2025 Time: 3pm (UK) / 4pm (CET) / 10am (EST)   Duration: 90 minutes  Location: Virtual via zoom     Session Synopsis Whether it’s haggling with a client, trying to influence a colleague, or trying to question the seemingly extortionate price your plumber or car mechanic wants to charge – negotiating often brings us out in a cold sweat and we fumble, flap and then fold like a wet tissue.  Join us for this practical, interactive workshop where we will give you a taste of our approach... - [Drama-Based Learning: A Safe Space to Challenge Perspectives](https://stepsdrama.com/drama-based-learning-a-safe-space-to-challenge-perspectives/): Drama-based learning creates a unique and safe environment for people to explore different perspectives, challenge assumptions, and reflect on their behaviours. By bringing scenarios to life, it allows employees to test new ways of thinking and acting without fear of judgement or real-world consequences.   Picking Up Where We Left Off In our previous blog, We Need to Talk About What Gets Left Unsaid, we explored the risks of psychologically unsafe cultures; where people stay silent, avoid risk, and hold back valuable insights. That blog highlighted the consequences of unspoken concerns: lost creativity, unmanaged risks, missed perspectives, and barriers to... - [We Need to Talk About What Gets Left Unsaid](https://stepsdrama.com/we-need-to-talk-about-what-gets-left-unsaid/): Can you remember a time at work when you really, really wanted to say something, but you kept it to yourself? Maybe you had a different perspective, or you needed clarification, or you spotted a potential issue. Maybe you were concerned you might have made a mistake and wanted to ask for support.    If this sounds familiar, what influenced your decision to stay silent? Were you expecting a negative response – an instant rejection of your idea, or a smirk or an eyeroll at your question? Maybe you knew that raising a concern would result in “shooting the messenger”... - [Accountability Without Blame: Rethinking the ‘Difficult’ Conversation](https://stepsdrama.com/accountability-without-blame-rethinking-the-difficult-conversation/): How do we hold people accountable while remaining empathetic and constructive in the complex world we live in? The answer lies in reframing the approach to the conversations we find difficult. 30 years of difficult conversations I’ve been having difficult feedback conversations for the last 30 years – you’d think I’d be better at it by now! Let me explain. When I started freelancing for Steps back in 1995 (I know, right!?), fresh out of drama school, I typically role-played the young graduate who was on the receiving end of difficult feedback (I also had to pretend to have a... - [How drama-based learning makes performance conversations easier](https://stepsdrama.com/how-drama-based-learning-makes-performance-conversations-easier/): Performance conversations are essential to healthy workplace cultures, but they can often feel uncomfortable, unclear, or even avoided altogether. Drama-based learning helps make these conversations easier by allowing people to practise difficult moments, reflect on real behaviours, and build the confidence to handle feedback constructively. 1. Creating a Safe Space for Real Conversations One of the main reasons performance conversations become challenging is because people feel emotionally exposed. Whether you’re giving or receiving feedback, there’s a fear of saying the wrong thing, being misunderstood, or damaging the relationship.   Drama-based learning addresses this by creating a psychologically safe environment for... - [Psychological Safety Myths: What’s Holding Your Team Back?](https://stepsdrama.com/psychological-safety-myths-whats-holding-your-team-back/): Psychological safety isn’t about being endlessly agreeable or shielding people from challenge. It’s about creating an environment where people feel confident to speak up, take risks, and be honest—without fear of humiliation or punishment. The myths surrounding psychological safety are holding many teams back from real progress and open collaboration. Let’s unpack why. Myth 1: “Psychological safety means being nice all the time.” This is one of the most common misconceptions. Leaders often mistake psychological safety for politeness, assuming it’s all about kindness and harmony. While empathy and respect are important, psychological safety isn’t about avoiding discomfort—it’s about embracing productive... - [Steps Connect: Engaging Intergenerational, Site-Based Teams](https://stepsdrama.com/steps-connect-engaging-intergenerational-site-based-teams/): Bringing Professionals Together for Insightful Conversations On Tuesday, 11 February 2025, Steps gathered close clients from the worlds of energy, engineering, infrastructure, manufacturing, and logistics. The goal was to unite like-minded professionals to discuss pressing issues and share insights relevant to their organisations and industries. We were joined by global and regional Heads of Leadership, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and HR, alongside Business Partners and Leads in Wellbeing and Belonging. These professionals shared their experiences and knowledge around key topics: intergenerational working, bridging gaps in multigenerational teams, and engaging site-based employees. Here, we have compiled key insights from our... - [Bridging Communication Gaps in Multigenerational Workplaces](https://stepsdrama.com/bridging-communication-gaps-in-multigenerational-workplaces/): Effective communication is the backbone of any successful workplace. However, when multiple generations collaborate, differing communication styles, expectations, and preferences can create barriers. Bridging these communication gaps in multigenerational workplaces requires a proactive approach, fostering an environment where every generation feels heard, valued, and understood. A workplace with poor intergenerational communication risks misunderstandings, decreased morale, and reduced productivity. Conversely, organisations that prioritise cross-generational communication benefit from enhanced teamwork, innovation, and a more inclusive culture. Here are five key strategies to bridge these gaps effectively: 1. Recognise and Adapt to Different Communication Styles Each generation brings unique preferences, expectations, and habits... - [Impactful Conversations using Radical Candor](https://stepsdrama.com/impactful-conversations-using-radical-candor/): Why is it so hard to give honest feedback without risking relationships? Many of us struggle to balance being direct and kind, leaving critical conversations unsaid or ineffective.   The result? Misunderstandings fester, morale dips, and opportunities for growth slip away. Radical candor offers a solution—a framework that enables honest, caring conversations that drive meaningful change.   Impactful conversations using radical candor require a balance of directness and care. By offering honest feedback while genuinely valuing others, you can build trust, resolve conflicts, and foster growth.   Radical candor involves speaking with authenticity, ensuring your message lands effectively, and supporting... - [What does the Future of HR look like? Insights on Agility, AI, and Human-Centered Leadership](https://stepsdrama.com/what-does-the-future-of-hr-look-like-insights-on-agility-ai-and-human-centered-leadership/): We asked a selection of clients to share their views on the future of HR and what shifts are required to navigate the changes that lie ahead.  Here are some of their ‘headlines’…   Agility and Adaptability Much of what lies ahead is uncertain, uncharted territory.  More than ever, HR leaders will be required to demonstrate flex and adaptability. Responding to the demands of legislation and regulation, balancing people needs with efficiencies in a hybrid world, addressing the rise of AI and changes in the digital landscape. Future success in HR requires flexible mindsets, collaboration across stakeholder groups, partnership working... - [Creating a Culture of Civility in the Workplace](https://stepsdrama.com/creating-a-culture-of-civility-in-the-workplace/): Creating a culture of civility in the workplace is essential for fostering respect, collaboration, and overall well-being. A civil environment encourages employees to express their ideas without fear, ultimately leading to enhanced productivity and a positive organisational climate. By prioritising civility, companies can ensure that all team members feel valued and engaged.   The Impact of Incivility on Workplace Dynamics A culture of disrespect not only impacts individual well-being but also undermines the overall effectiveness of teams. Research from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reveals that politics is a significant driver of incivility at work, with 78% of... - [Mastering Effective Feedback: Strategies for Constructive Communication in the Workplace](https://stepsdrama.com/mastering-effective-feedback-strategies-for-constructive-communication-in-the-workplace/): As managers, effective feedback should be pretty easy, but is it in reality? If public speaking is something humans are the most scared of, for me, the second place would be giving effective feedback at workplace.   There are different models and frameworks of feedback, most managers have learnt through training, on the job, through books, videos, and most importantly by experiencing “how it should not be done” while being given feedback. I strongly feel humans need to learn communication and emotions equally as we learn maths and sciences in schools! Wouldn’t that be a major game changer? As a... - [Understanding the Workers Protection Act: What You Need to Know](https://stepsdrama.com/understanding-the-workers-protection-act-what-you-need-to-know/): The Workers Protection Act is a crucial piece of legislation that aims to safeguard employees from harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Its recent updates introduce new protections and accountability measures for both employers and workers, making it essential for organisations to comply. In this blog, we will explore what the Workers Protection Act is, its main protections, why it matters to you, and how you can implement it effectively, all while learning how Steps Drama-based training can support you in fostering a safe and inclusive workplace.   What is the Workers Protection Act? The Workers Protection Act is designed... - [Navigating the Balance Between Being an Actionable Ally and Avoiding 'White Knighting'](https://stepsdrama.com/navigating-the-balance-between-being-an-actionable-ally-and-avoiding-white-knighting/): In the quest to be an actionable ally, non-minority individuals often face a delicate balancing act. On one hand, there’s the sincere desire to support and stand up against harassment and bullying, especially during times where the social climate is rampant with bigotry and discrimination. On the other, there’s the risk of ‘white knighting’ – stepping in to “save” others in a way that can be patronising or self-serving rather than genuinely supportive. Understanding this balance is crucial for effective allyship. To navigate the balance between being an actionable ally and avoiding white knighting, focus on listening actively, amplifying minority... - [How to Be an Actionable Ally: Standing Up Against Harassment and Bullying During Times of Social Tension](https://stepsdrama.com/how-to-be-an-actionable-ally-standing-up-against-harassment-and-bullying-during-times-of-social-tension/): Social upheavals, political unrest, and widespread protests often heighten instances of harassment and bullying. Marginalised groups may feel particularly vulnerable, and the support of allies can make a significant difference in these periods. Being an actionable ally means actively supporting those targeted by harassment and bullying. This involves educating yourself, speaking out against injustices, providing support to victims, and fostering inclusive environments. It’s about transforming awareness into action to create a positive impact. In this article, we will talk about what it means to be an ally in good times and bad. Understanding the Role of an Ally An ally... - [Statement About Our Commitment to Accessibility](https://stepsdrama.com/statement-about-our-commitment-to-accessibility/): At Steps, we want everyone to feel comfortable and included. Which is why we use the social model of Disability. This means we realise that the emphasis is on us to remove all the barriers we can to give you the best experience possible.     As part of our commitment to Inclusion, we have been reflecting on what we need to do in order to understand how to support the different accessibility needs of our colleagues, associates and clients.  We have set up an internal Access Planning Group and our goals and actions are to:   Have a strong foundation in level... - [Why They Won’t “Speak Up” and 5 Behaviours to Increase the Chance That They Will](https://stepsdrama.com/why-they-wont-speak-up/): “We want to put a stop to all transgressive behaviour. But people aren’t speaking up! We hear about issues through backchannels, we see the engagement survey results, so we know there are issues. We need to create a speak-up culture where these behaviours can be dealt with immediately between employees or at the manager level. We’re thinking something along the lines of building Radical Candor skills or running feedback workshops. Can you help?” I pause for a moment, because it isn’t the first time I’ve heard a version of this story. “What happens,” I ask, “when someone does bring a... - [Embracing Empathy and Equity Across All Identities](https://stepsdrama.com/embracing-equity-across-all-identities/): While designing the script for one of our programs focused on the Policy of Sexual Harassment, we initially created a scene depicting a woman being harassed by a male colleague at the workplace. We developed the storylines and the nuances, but after more brainstorming, our entire creative team realized we were thinking in a heteronormative way. This sparked some ideas for different perspectives that could be portrayed. What if a man is on the receiving end of harassment? Where would he go to raise a concern? What if this man isn’t comfortable opening up about his sexuality yet and not... - [Navigating the Evolution of Mental Health Conversations in the Workplace](https://stepsdrama.com/navigating-the-evolution-of-mental-health-conversations-in-the-workplace/): I’ve been at Steps for over 15 years.  That’s a long time – and people often ask me why I’ve stayed!  Aside from feeling a part of a brilliant, curious and passionate team of genuinely lovely colleagues – the work is so, so interesting.  No two days ever feel the same, the role continues to stretch and inspire me and the work we do is ever evolving – so there are always new challenges to face, new topics to explore and new clients to share our approach with.  Personally I find the work we do hugely rewarding and valuable too. ... - [Step's Commitment to Accessibility](https://stepsdrama.com/commitment-to-accessibility/): One of the things I love about my job is getting to work with passionate and talented colleagues across a range of projects, and I love that these often extend beyond my role as BD Director, focusing more on holistic, organisation-wide goals and strategies.  One such is the Access Planning Group (APG) – which has seen me collaborate over the past year or more with a number of colleagues to bring our commitment to access and inclusion off the page – and to ensure that Steps – our practices, processes and the work we produce – is inclusive and accessible... - [A Personal Perspective on Gender](https://stepsdrama.com/a-personal-perspective-on-gender/): In my last youth work job before joining Steps, I was working on a drama project with a small group of 8 teenagers in a mainstream school. One person in that group was a trans student and one was non-binary. The other students weren’t at all fazed by this and took it in their stride. It was me who had to get my head around they/them pronouns and remind myself that there are more than two genders. It’s not always easy; in our UK culture, we’ve been socialised and conditioned to see gender as binary from the minute we were... - [Celebrating Women's History Month](https://stepsdrama.com/celebrating-womens-history-month/): March is not only about the arrival of spring but also a time to honour Women’s History Month, recognising the invaluable contributions women have made throughout history. Yet, this commemoration goes beyond mere acknowledgment; it serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equity. Women’s History Month prompts us to reflect on the disparities women continue to face in the workplace and actively work towards a more equitable future. In the realm of DE&I, gender equity unfortunately still stands as a pivotal issue. Despite significant progress, women continue to encounter barriers in professional spheres, ranging from pay... - [Rustin - Black History Month 2024 Campaign](https://stepsdrama.com/rustin-black-history-month-2024-campaign/): Rustin This beautiful movie with its palpitations of Jazz throughout, leads us along a story of hope, struggle, unity and pride. It depicts the strength and zeal of Bayard Rustin the African- American and proudly gay social activist that was truly the mastermind behind the 1963 march on Washington. This film is an inspiring watch especially for those in the DEI space, showing how impactful the fierce commitment to equality and inclusion can be. When approaching DEI we sometimes neglect the very complex and layered theory of Intersectionality and sometimes that might be because we want to take one step... - [Masego - Black History Month 2024 Campaign](https://stepsdrama.com/masego-black-history-month-2024-campaign/): Masego During the midst of the pandemic, stumbling on to new music and artists became a great way to help pass the time spent cooped up in the house. One artist that I fell in love with during that time is a now globally recognized artist, Masego. Masego is known for playing the saxophone, but can be seen playing the drums, guitar, and keyboard. His signature is a fusion between trap, jazz, and soul, which has set him apart in the music world. Outside of being an instrumental prowess, Masego is a gifted vocalist. In 2016, Masego made his mark... - [I Am Not Your Negro - Black History Month 2024 Campaign](https://stepsdrama.com/i-am-not-your-black-history-month-2024-campaign/): I Am Not Your Negro  As someone deeply immersed in the learning and development space, I recently had a profound experience that I felt compelled to share with you. On MLK Day, I watched the film “I Am Not Your Negro” for the first time, and it left an indelible impact on me. The narrative, articulated by the incomparable James Baldwin, serves as a stark reflection on the truth of the black experience in America, resonating powerfully even in our contemporary context. While the film presents harrowing and sobering images of black individuals navigating perilous situations, it is Baldwin’s eloquent... - [The Color Purple - Black History Month 2024 Campaign](https://stepsdrama.com/the-color-purple-black-history-month-2024-campaign/): In this powerful reflection, we celebrate the historical role of African American artists as agents of change, citing iconic figures from Langston Hughes to Jordan Peele. Rooted in the legacy of these artists, the narrative highlights the ongoing commitment to transformative change within a company founded by artists, where the art of drama remains pivotal. Emphasizing the urgency for artists to champion social justice, the essay underscores the profound impact of art in bridging divides, revealing shared humanity, and embodying life itself. Accompanying the celebration, the Black Employee Network at Steps Drama recommends a curated series of works by black... - [Black History Month 2024 Campaign](https://stepsdrama.com/black-history-month-2024-campaign/): In the current tapestry of time, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture serves as a poignant reminder of the historical role African American artists have played as catalysts for change. From the poetic resonance of Langston Hughes to the revolutionary beats of James Brown, the stage presence of Josephine Baker, the literary prowess of Toni Morrison, and the cinematic brilliance of Jordan Peele, each artist has woven a unique thread into the collective fabric of our history. As an African American artist, I take great pride in contributing to this legacy, particularly within a company dedicated to effecting... - [Adapting to Tomorrow: How we are creating and innovating](https://stepsdrama.com/how-we-are-creating-and-innovating/): I say this, I hope, with pride and confidence, but not with arrogance – at Steps, we are good at what we do. That’s because we believe in it, we enjoy it and so do our clients. Of course, that doesn’t mean that we are perfect or can’t improve, but the core approach of using drama to hold a mirror up to behaviours in organisations, to explore how to be more effective in our relationships, hasn’t fundamentally changed in Steps’ 30+ years of business. And that’s because it’s really powerful and effective. Actually, to say that how we do it... - [Mairéad's Secondment Opportunity](https://stepsdrama.com/maireads-secondment-opportunity/): In September 2022, Steps announced the opportunity for one individual to undertake a 3-week secondment in a different Steps Region of their choice, to enhance personal development and build connections globally. An opportunity to work (and live) in a completely different country, spend quality in-person time with my colleagues and as the Digital & Virtual Partner (UKE) at Steps, the possibility of further developing our Media offering in the different regions, were all factors that led me to apply for this secondment and ultimately be lucky enough to be selected. With our US business at an exciting point of growth,... - [Anti-Sexual Harassment in the Workplace](https://stepsdrama.com/anti-sexual-harassment-in-the-workplace/): In a month where predatory, sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviours have again hit the headlines, we turn our campaign focus to anti-sexual harassment within organisations and what we can do to help foster the behaviours and attitudes that support a culture of prevention. We’ve been talking to many of our clients about the incoming change in law and the ever-increasing focus on misconduct from industry regulators – updates which have changed the narrative and further urged the resolve of organisations to prevent sexual harassment and act swiftly, fairly and decisively when instances of misconduct emerge. For clients in financial services,... - [Black History Month 2023](https://stepsdrama.com/black-history-month-2023/): Please join Steps as we celebrate Black History Month (UK)!   In 1915 Carter G. Woodson, a ground-breaking historian in the US, set up a society to study that there was a lack of information about achievements of black people in America. Black History Month was adopted years later in 1987 in the UK, the same time as the 150th anniversary of the abolishment of Caribbean slaves. In 1984, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo, a Ghanaian man who came to the UK as a refugee had the aim for the local community to challenge racism as well as educate themselves and others about... - [Talking Mental Health with Laura Rosenthal](https://stepsdrama.com/talking-mental-health-with-laura-rosenthal/): October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and as part of our continued focus on this important topic, I spent some time talking to one of our fantastic Learning Partners – Laura Rosenthal.  Laura is an Instructor Member of MHFA England and regularly delivers Steps programmes that address mental health, wellbeing and resilience. She recently took a lead advisory role on an online mental health awareness resource Steps developed for managers within a retail bank.  This digital programme combined expert knowledge and theory alongside scenario-based learning and has been completed by over 3,300 people, engaging with more than 14,000 modules... - [Performance Management in a Hybrid Environment](https://stepsdrama.com/performance-management-in-hybrid-environment/): It has been an established fact that companies can gain a competitive advantage with a dual focus on people and performance. The P + P approach has compelling list of benefits: profitability along with consistency, resilience, and retention, which further fortify business performance and bottom line results. Performance Management processes have existed as long as organized groups, and by now we are aware of the philosophy behind effective performance management systems. However, the pandemic and the associated disruptions in the workplace have forced a mindset evolution when it comes to performance management. While there is an increased awareness and acknowledgement... - [Our approach to performance management...](https://stepsdrama.com/steps-approach-to-performance-management/): When we’re talking about performance management and feedback conversations, our 30 years of experience has shown us that effective strategies, detailed policy documents, and organisational principles – whilst useful – are themselves not enough to instil and embed effective performance and feedback conversations within organisations. We know that most organisations have a list of values and behaviours – but these alone don’t set the tone for how interactions happen in practice, and unless people have the skills, knowledge and confidence to apply those values in their day-to-day situations – they will remain values to which you aspire, rather than those... - [Nostalgia & Newness: Team Dynamics & Engagement in the Hybrid World…](https://stepsdrama.com/team-dynamics-and-engagement-in-the-hybrid-world/): The world of work has transformed in ways we could likely never have predicted pre 2020.  The covid pandemic forced change within our organisations and led us to new and different ways of working and collaborating. For some, it was a moment of realisation that greater flexibility was possible, for others it was affirmation that on-site working was preferrable – and as we move on from the challenges of lockdown and its impact, hybrid working has emerged as a regular feature of the working landscape. With the prediction that 70% of teams will be working remotely by 2025 (LHH), it’s... - [Interview with Paul and Tivarni on Intergenerational Working](https://stepsdrama.com/intergenerational-working-interview/): I called on two of my UKE Steps colleagues Paul Mason and Tivarni James-Clarke, both from two different generations, to talk about their perspective on Intergenerational Working and how this relates to their working relationship. Effective working. There are 5 different generations within the workplace, and with that comes different life experiences and mindsets that are bound to create differences and obstacles for effective intergenerational working. With 40 plus years of experience in the workplace, Paul said that he has found accepting change and understanding the different expectations and needs in the world of work are the most effective way... - [Intergenerational Working – Towards engagement, collaboration & inclusion](https://stepsdrama.com/intergenerational-working/): Intergenerational practice aims to bring people together in purposeful, mutually beneficial activities which promote greater understanding and respect between generations and contributes to building more cohesive communities. Intergenerational practice is inclusive, building on the positive resources that the younger and older have to offer each other and those around them. (Beth Johnson Foundation, 2009) Today’s workplace is multigenerational. Generational diversity can be a huge advantage, with people from different generations benefitting from eachother’s ideas and experiences. These new perspectives gained can spark new ideas and prompt new ways of working. However, there is potential for conflict and misunderstanding as well –... - [Windrush '75](https://stepsdrama.com/windrush-75/): Dedicated to the generation who paved the way from the future generations, we hope we do you proud. Today is a big day not just for the black community but for the Black British (Caribbean) community, as today we celebrate Windrush ‘75. 75 years ago today, more than 800 passengers from the Caribbean arrived at Tilbury docks on the ship known as HMT Empire Windrush. This moment shaped modern Britain. Coming over to help rebuild Britain after the second World War for many families this was just meant to be a temporary stay. A lot said, “just for five years”.... - [Juneteenth](https://stepsdrama.com/juneteenth/): “Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.” —Barack Obama Steps would like to invite you to join us in celebrating Juneteenth. The holiday known as Freedom Day, this is an important holiday that is mainly celebrated in the US but resonates with many of the injustices that black people around the world still face to this day. On 19th June 1865, General Gordon... - [Psychological Safety – a prerequisite to create inclusion for all.](https://stepsdrama.com/psychological-safety/): June marks Pride – a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community globally.  Despite raised awareness and increasing representation of LGBTQIA+ experience in popular culture – recent Deloitte research (LGBT+ Inclusion at Work 2022: A Global Outlook (deloitte.com)) revealed that 42% of LGBTQIA+ employees reported that they have experienced non-inclusive behaviours at work and 82% believe that they have experienced negative behaviours more than those that do not identify as LGBTQIA+.   Just over half (53%) admitted ‘covering’ – saying they are not openly ‘out’ to the majority of their colleagues or do not talk about their sexual orientation at all in the... - [How to be a better ally at the workplace – As heard from DEI Champions and HR Leaders](https://stepsdrama.com/how-to-be-a-better-ally-at-the-workplace/): The best takeaway from any conversation are the practical tips from an individual’s lived experience. We had some interesting and powerful conversations at the end of our open session on Building Inclusive Organisations : LGBTQIA+ Inclusion last month. The following are some themes and suggestions of effective approaches to LGBTQIA+ Inclusion, which were shared by the senior leaders who attended the event. The key themes that emerged were reducing microaggressions and demonstrating actionable allyship. Behaviours and actions need to demonstrate acceptance (vs judging) and validation(vs dismissal ) of LGBTQIA+ individuals’ gender and/or sexual identities as reality, and not an imagined... - [Conversations on Sexuality and Sexual Identity in the Workplace](https://stepsdrama.com/conversations-on-sexuality/): There can often be stigma attached to conversations about sexuality and sexual identity, especially at work. In our experience, intolerance is not always the issue – the more common challenge is individuals feeling nervous, or fearful, of saying the wrong thing. To help explore personal, and sometimes sensitive topics – we create fictional characters that make these situations and conversations more human and more real. By bringing behaviours and attitudes to life in this way, we can create an experience that provoke questions, challenges stigma and encourages honest conversation between peer groups.

I said I’m a facilitator. They said, ‘Oh I hate facilitators.’ When you work in the field of diversity, equity & inclusion, it’s not unusual to find yourself in a space where people come into the room with a less than gratifying view of what it is they think you might do. Some really don’t want to be there. Some think, ‘It’s going to be about what you can and can’t say, it’s going to all about political correctness and the woke agenda’.  Others come with high expectations of a genuine... - [Microaggressions in the Workplace: How to Challenge and Change](https://stepsdrama.com/microaggressions-in-the-workplace/):   What are the general interactions you have during a typical day?  For most of us the day might be punctuated with an annoying interaction with a manager or a funny moment between your peers.  We tend to remember the ‘bigger’ moments in each day that have an emotional impact on us.  Most of us don’t remember or take notice of the hundreds of little interactions or comments that come our way.  However, for some individuals those little moments can add up over time, throughout their daily lives, and can have a subtle psychological impact on their emotional and mental... - [Why Are Coaching Skills Important?](https://stepsdrama.com/why-are-coaching-skills-important/): In any business, it is important for any manager or leader to exhibit coaching skills their job. The role of a manager or leader is to guide their team through the objectives, ensuring any job is completed to a high standard.

People are often mistaking leadership and management as the same thing, but they are actually quite different when you look at them. While managers have people that work for them and carry out orders, leaders have people that follow them.  You might say that these still sound like the same thing, don’t they? In actual fact, management is more about the administering of work and making sure day-to-day operations are getting handled as they should be. Leadership,... - [Race to Inclusivity Event](https://stepsdrama.com/race-to-inclusivity-event/):       We were delighted to support Siemens Financial Services and the Leasing Association on their ‘Race to Inclusivity’ event recently.

I’m so pleased that it’s still not something I really have to consider. Never in my almost-8 years with the business have I felt that any challenges have been because I’m a woman. I’ve found it an inclusive and supportive environment- with my viewpoint or comments being valued, listened to,... - [Inclusion in the Hybrid World](https://stepsdrama.com/inclusion-in-the-hybrid-world/): Over 4 weeks, we took an in depth look at Inclusion in the Hybrid World.

(but read this first)](https://stepsdrama.com/scrap-all-unconscious-bias-training-but-read-this-first/): It’s more than unfortunate, isn’t it, the way the news landed that Unconscious Bias training is to be scrapped for civil servants on account of its ineffectiveness. You could be forgiven for thinking that the message is: “Stop aiming to improve inclusion” or “Don’t bother trying to fight prejudice, it doesn’t work.” I’m choosing to believe that is NOT the message and am waiting eagerly to hear what the brilliantly positive alternative is which the government will surely soon be announcing.
