HOW TO HAVE FUN AT WORK
Tue 19 Mar 2024 4:00 PM - 8:15 PM GMT
The Commissioners House, Historic Dockyard Chatham, ME4 4TZ
Description
The value of women in the workplace should never be underestimated and particularly within our communities. We are celebrating International Women’s Day in partnership with Medway Council and the Federation of Small Businesses in the only way we know how to do this – by having some FUN AT WORK!
Funny Women has been empowering women in the comedy industry for over 20 years and in response to the demand for our programmes in the workplace we run our HERlarious programme to encourage professional women to have their voice.
We learn and bond through the collective power of humour and we retain a lot more information and build relationships with the people we work with by having a few laughs.
Our very special free event is aimed at exactly that as part of our Comedy in the Community programme here in Medway. It features workshops, panel discussion, essential networking and live comedy (of course!), and we will show you how to express your ideas more confidently and freely using some of the tried and tested tricks of the comedy trade.
We have carefully curated a programme to boost your confidence to take on a leadership within your community, to apply for a job you’ve always wanted or to say what you think in a meeting.
Get valuable advice on how to ‘perform’, write great copy, bring your ideas to life and develop techniques to communicate more effectively. We will be showing you how to create your own material, interpret body language, tell a story and develop a strong personal narrative with humour.
Everyone is encouraged to attend, regardless of gender.
Take part in a lively round of quickfire workshops facilitated by amazing local business women. There are four topics to choose from:
CAN YOU FEEL IT?! GET YOUR BUSINESS MOJO RUNNING
YOU COULDN’T MAKE IT UP: HOW TO IMPROVISE
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY - LET'S GET SOCIAL!
CONTENT AND INFLUENCE: HOW TO USE HUMOUR EFFECTIVELY
Followed by an interactive panel featuring local leaders and live comedy. Coffee and tea will be served upon arrival and a drinks reception will take place before the comedy.

This event is FREE to attend and fully funded by Medway Council and the UK Government Levelling Up initiative. However, we are asking for optional donations to our nominated charity, the Wisdom Hospice.
