Balanced – Visibility

12:30pm – 14:00pm, Tuesday 3rd November

This panel discussion will be upon visibility – when you are not in the office how can you be heard? How often have you had a kitchen chat that became a new project, or heard about a potential new role at a night out – how do we replicate that remotely?

But also how can you celebrate your achievements, or ask for help, over a video camera or platform, in the right way?

Balanced is a platform for ideas, discussion and support – we want you to come along with your thoughts, the chat is interactive and sharing experiences is a great way to help each other.
