Understanding Your Own Frame of Reference
FREE 1 Hour Workshop for building confidence in tricky conversations
Friday 12th September 2025 - 12:30pm
Why do conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion feel so daunting?
Often it’s because we’re unaware of the different frames of reference we each bring into every interaction.
In this 1-hour online workshop, inclusion specialist and TEDx speaker Katie Allen will introduce you to the ME frame of reference, the foundation of her ME–US–WE model for inclusion confidence.
By understanding how your own identity, lived experiences, and assumptions shape your perspective, you can build a stable base to speak from, and move from hesitation and caution to clarity and confidence.
In just 1 hour, you'll learn:
What the “ME” frame of reference is – and why it matters in DEI conversations.
How your background, values and experiences influence what you see (and don’t see).
Common pitfalls that hold people back – and how to avoid them.
Practical strategies to shift from fear of saying the wrong thing to confidence in engaging.
This session is perfect for:
Team leaders, line managers, people leaders and HR professionals who want to begin to feel confident about tricky conversations, without the fear of putting their foot in it or having to compromise their values.

No.
Sorry, but all AI note takers will be removed from the webinar prior to it starting. We’ve had problems in the past with less than honourable people sending their note takers to Katie’s sessions and then repurposing the material as their own.
This just isn’t cool in our book, so we’ve got a standard rule.
-
Yes.
Like all good rules, there is an exception.
If you require your note taker to be permitted to the session as an accessibility tool, just make this known on your booking or pop us an email and we will make sure you’re sorted. We can also talk about other support that might be needed in terms of sessions transcripts etc if required. Just give us a shout!

Sure thing.
If you know someone who might enjoy the session feel free to share the details. Although if you only share the zoom link, then only you will get the recording and any future freebies we share.
So… it might be a good idea to share this booking page link instead and then everyone can get all the goodies.

Yes!
All questions are welcome and there will be at least 15 minutes at the end of the session to ask anything you like.
