Why
Sarah Barnett and her team at William Hill understand the importance of conversations, particularly when it comes to engaging and retaining talent.
As part of their work on the #WOW (Women of William Hill) agenda, they invited Conversation Space to run an inspiring bitesize session on International Women’s Day.
The aim was to provide a framework and tools for participants to be able to face into conversations they had previously avoided.

What
The session, which was broadcast globally to locations in Sofia, Krakow, Gibraltar, Manilla and the US, covered:
- The power of conversation
- How to increase your self-awareness
- How conversations can empower or hold us back
- Conversational Wisdom® – 3 top tips to practice growing courage in conversations
Take a look at this short video of the day here.
Impact
Running this session in a blended way, both face to face and virtually, has enabled people at William Hill to have a clear, consistent and engaging framework from which to hold conversations.
Participants left the session feeling like they had the tools and knowledge to face into conversations they may previously have avoided.
It also provided an invaluable step in the company’s approach to supporting their Women of William Hill.
