Our day together will begin at 10am, running until 2pm, with several dedicated opportunities for connection (overwhelmingly this is the thing that people tell us they love the most about the event – the chance to connect). We have three amazing speakers lined up and two hosts for an afternoon workshop that were a huge hit at last years’ event – plus the chance to get the recording of the incredible Fay Wallis’ talk from 2025!
Your host for the day
Founder of this event and Be Unstoppable, Emma Djemil is on a mission to stop anyone going home from work worse than when they arrived. Combining her experiences across an 18 year career in HR with a Certificate in Applied Neuroscience, certification as a One of many ® women’s coach and accreditation as a Brain and Behaviour Change Practitioner, she supports women in leadership to be Humans Resourced ® and get the clarity, confidence and courage to create a life that’s bigger than their work.
The event will be centred around Emma’s ‘REBEL’ framework for sustainable impact in HR which
helps women in HR stop surviving work and start leading in ways that actually feel sustainable,
impactful and true to who they are.
Across the day you will:
- Explore what it means to create sustainable impact in HR without constantly proving yourself,
abandoning your needs or losing yourself in the process - Discover what’s really impacting your confidence, influence and credibility at work, and why
leadership impact in HR is far more than technical ability alone - Hear real examples of women in HR redefining leadership on their terms, making braver
decisions and creating greater impact as a result
Workshop
This will be a dedicated workshop providing solutions, ideas and thought leadership in relation to the challenges faced by us as women at work. Ticket holders have told us that “feeling like I have to prove myself / my value” is the leading frustration of being in a woman in HR, which this workshop responds to directly. Feedback about this workshop was so positive last year, we HAD to invite them back for 2026!
With Michelle Minnikin and Sophie Meaney
Some of the feedback we got:
“Energising, impactful and relatable. Really insightful perspective on things I need to unlearn that I’d
never really thought about before – definitely changed my perspective.”
“Absolutely fantastic session – engaging and relevant resources and really enjoyed it.”
In this session you will:
- Get practical skills for shaking off the feeling that you need to prove yourself, increasing your
impact and influencing with impact - Have an increased awareness of the conditioning that prevents many women from having the
influence they were born to have - Understand the hidden architecture of power and the ability to shift the dynamic in your favour
Speakers
Our speakers are all from in and around the world of HR because we’re committed to amplifying the voices of women in HR! They’ve been encouraged encouraged to share their warts and all experiences of being a human in HR. They are NOT tasked with telling you the technical aspects of HR, if that’s what you’re looking for then my lovely, this is not the day for you.
If you are, however, interested in learning from women who have faced challenges head on and have a few things to tell you about it in an attempt to make your journey easier, then listen up! You’re going to want to hear from these superstars.
