Cherron Inko-Tariah MBE delivered a P.O.W.E.R workshop for the Black and Minority Ethnic Network at the University of Westminster recently. Cindyann Currency (network business support) shares her thoughts on the session.
The Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Staff Network of the University of Westminster, is at it again. As part of the Network’s plans to strengthen its operations and build resilience, the Board underwent a Governance and Capacity Building training.
The workshop was designed to guide and equip the Board with tools to understand the purpose and power of an effective Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) staff network.
Those present were enthralled with the presentation that also touched on effective meeting management, stakeholder engagement and how to develop the most effective work plan to optimise efficiencies.
The training also explored fundamental expectations and key requirements for those who serve at a strategic level -collectively as an advisory team and individually as board members. This culminating with the conclusion that the success of the network is grounded in the foundation work and efforts of everyone working toward its success.
The three-hour training session was facilitated by renowned consultant and author of ‘The Incredible Power of Staff Networks’, Cherron Inko-Tariah.
