SUMMARY:Stand Up to Stand Out - International Women’s Day Medway
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION: THE HANGAR\, Lankaster Parker Road\, Rochester. \nWe are celebrating International Women’s Day in the only way we know how – by making mirth and having some fun! Join us for some confidence boosting\, mirth making and female-led fun at this special STAND UP TO STAND OUT event designed to to help you WORK\, PLAY AND PERFORM. \nThis workshop is free to attend thanks to funding from Medway Council and the UK Government as part of Funny Women’s Comedy in the Community programme\, now in its fourth year. \nTo mark the occasion\, we’re returning to one of our favourite places in Medway:  The Hangar by Wisdom Hospice Shops\, a wonderful emporium of preloved clothing\, household items\, books\, toys and bric-a-brac. As well as taking part in two different workshops\, you can enjoy a unique shopping experience as well as an opportunity to reclaim your business ‘mojo’ with some tricks of the comedy trade and take part in a special improvised Open Mic showcase (not compulsory!) \nExplore techniques to communicate memorably and creatively within your communities and networks. Curated by Lynne Parker\, founder of Funny Women and Kirstin Miller\, Comedy in the Community Project Lead and local business woman. \nThis event will be hosted by our regional Glitter Project producer\, Nic Lamont with special workshops on ‘Body Confidence’ with Lucy Ryan and advice on ‘Dressing for Success’ with Abigail Collins. \nThe Schedule: \n5:30pm Arrivals\, refreshments and shopping at your leisure\n5.45pm-6.30pm Workshop 1\n6.30pm-6.45pm Networking and more shopping\n6.45pm-7.30pm Workshop 2\n7.30pm-8.15pm Showcase\n8.30pm close \nAs a Rochester based not-for-profit business\, we empower a community of women to express themselves more confidently so that they can stand out in both their professional and personal lives. \nLynne Parker founded Funny Women 23 years ago and has worked with thousands of women through the annual Funny Women Awards. She runs her workshops and events for organisations and companies including NatWest\, Canada Life\, Airbandb\, Havas Lynx\, and MHS. Funny Women’s HERlarious programme aimed at the workplace reflects the ideals of Funny Women\, helping women to perform\, write\, create and do business with humour. \nIn her regular Stand Up to Stand Out workshops Lynne deploys some of the tried and tested tricks of the comedy trade to provide insights and inspiration for professional women who want to take on leadership roles\, speak in public and tell their story. We would particularly like to encourage those of you who stand back from taking on community leadership roles due to a lack of confidence – Medway is full of amazing women and we’re here to stand by your side. \nBook early as spaces are limited and as this event is free\, please consider making a donation\, however modest\, to the Wisdom Hospice Charity\, which we are proud to support as our local charity. \n \n
