This workshop introduces the principles of lived experience leadership—what it means, why it matters, and how to support it meaningfully.

You'll explore common barriers faced by leaders with lived experience, and learn practical ways to create more inclusive, empowering environments.

By the end, you'll walk away with real actions you can take to support lived experience leadership in your role, your organisation, or your community.

Questions to consider

You may want to think about the following questions before the Q&A session, or just use them to discuss with colleagues or help your own thinking.

•  How does your own lived experience of social injustice and marginalisation impact and benefit your leadership?
• How does the lived experience of other leaders (or any other people), including those in your leadership teams & networks and those outside your networks, benefit the work of yourselves and others?
• What does leadership mean to you?
• What challenges do you think you and others in the group might face on your leadership journey?
• How can you centre and involve Lived Expertise in your work?
