Diversity Speaks: Interactive Group Coaching Taster Session with Q&A

Dear Students, 

QMUL are offering students the opportunity to take part in a group coaching project run by the University Mentoring Organisation (UMO).  

We are offering a FREE taster session to students – refreshments included!

Date: Tuesday 7 March 2023, 2.30pm - 4.00pm

Venue: LG1 – G.O. Jones, Mile End Campus

- Who it is aimed at: Students who identify from a diverse ethnic background. 

- What is involved: Tackling difficulties in university related to your race, ethnicity and culture. 

- What is the benefit for students:  

• An opportunity to work as a group with a specialist coach from a similar ethnic background, to explore barriers you have experienced including race, identity etc.  
• A safe and validating space to build a sense of belonging and allyship to promote self-acceptance and a positive self-image. 
• A specific time and place where you can refocus and trust you will be heard, developing skills to better manage the structural bias of academia. 
• To rebuild your self-confidence, unlock your talents, build resilience and proactively be motivated to create change. 

Come to the taster session to find out: 

1. What group coaching is 
2. What you will gain from it 
3. How to explore positive ways of managing barriers 

Led by UMO Coaches; catering will be provided.
