Menopause Workshops - For individuals and business The Best Way to Glow & Glow in The Workplace - preparing, experiencing & managing all stages of menopause. �����

Before I was 40 I had experienced Menopause, I was unprepared, unsettled and had no idea what was instore for me during this change. This set me on a mission to ensure other women can own their Peri-Menopause and Menopause are prepared to GLOW and I founded my Not-For-Profit social enterprise, Dandelion Coaching. I truly believe with knowledge and understanding menopause can be a positive change. As an experienced trainer and mental health professional I created our two menopause masterclasses. The Best Way to Glow
Glow in the Workplace

Coaching
I am a qualified coaching practitioner gaining my training through a International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited coach training program. With extensive experience in mental health and emotional wellbeing and a passionate for empowering and encouraging women to seek potential in their personal and professional lives, my professional, supportive, practical approach will help you complete your transition. As women, we constantly experience transitions in our personal or professional lives, where we can find ourselves evaluating our own beliefs, values, priorities, or identity. These transitions can be, but not always triggered by an event or feeling, they can be large or small and can lead to us feeling stuck in life.

It was such a pleasure to join Andrea on CandoFM to have a chat about our upcoming Menopause Confident Workplaces launch in Barrow. 🌼

As we celebrate Menopause Awareness Month, it feels like a really good time to talk about why this matters.

Menopause can affect people at work in so many different ways and sometimes the biggest difference we can make is simply creating a workplace where people feel able to talk, ask questions and be themselves without feeling awkward or judged.

On Thursday 22 October, we’re bringing local businesses, charities and organisations together in Barrow for a full day of conversation, learning and practical ideas.

And thanks to the wonderful support of Barrow Rising the whole day is fully funded and open to small and medium-sized businesses, organisations and charities across Barrow.

You don’t need to be a menopause expert.
You don’t need to have all the answers.

Just come along, have a conversation and see what might be possible in your own workplace.

Because sometimes, meaningful change really does start with one conversation. 💛

If you’re part of a local organisation and would like to join us, we’d love to see you there.

Practical, Not Complicated - Menopause Confident Workplaces https://www.dandelioncoach.co.uk/events-resources

Myth.......This will cost a fortune!

Menopause support doesn't have to mean a big, expensive workplace programme.

Truth.......
Sometimes it's about small things.
A conversation.
A little flexibility.
A cooler working environment.
A manager who understands.
A colleague who listens.
Knowing where to find information.
Making it easier for someone to ask for help.

Small actions, taken consistently, can become part of workplace culture.

That's the kind of change Menopause Confident Workplaces is here to support.

What would a more menopause-confident workplace look like for your organisation?

You might already have some ideas.
You might not have a clue where to start.

Either is okay.

Our upcoming Menopause Confident Workplaces Launch Event will give local organisations the opportunity to learn more, meet others and discover practical ways to begin.

No judgement. No expectation to have everything figured out.
Just an opportunity to find out what's possible.

And we'll be bringing something practical with us too, more on the Meno-Kit soon.

For managers: you don't need to be a menopause expert.

You do need to be willing to listen.

Menopause can affect people differently, and there isn't one solution that works for everyone.

Sometimes the most useful thing a manager can do is create space for an honest conversation.

You don't have to fix everything. Sometimes listening is the first helpful step.
“What would help?”
“Is there anything we could do differently?”
“Let's see what we can do.”

Small moments of understanding can have a much bigger impact than we realise -

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what to say.

You might notice a colleague is struggling.
You might know they're experiencing menopause.
You might want to help.

But you're worried about saying the wrong thing.
You don't need a perfect script. And you don't have to fix it.

You can start with something simple:

“How are things for you at work at the moment?”

Then listen.
Ask what would help.
Don't assume.

A better conversations can be the beginning of a better experience at work.
Confidence doesn't mean knowing everything. It means feeling able to take the next helpful step. hashtag

You don't need to get everything right.
In fact, nobody does.
Every organisation starts somewhere.

Some already have menopause policies.
Some have had lots of conversations.
Some haven't talked about menopause at all.

None of them are “behind”.

They're simply at different points in their journey.

Menopause Confident Workplaces is about meeting you where you are and helping you take the next helpful step. Progress, not perfection.

A lovely piece in Cumbria Crack today 🌼

It was such a pleasure speaking with Lucy Edwards-Rae about Menopause Confident Workplaces and why I feel so strongly about helping smaller organisations feel more confident talking about menopause at work.

I really appreciated the time Lucy took to understand what we're trying to do here in Barrow and her genuine interest in women's health really came through in our conversation.

We're now just over five weeks away from our launch and I'm really keen to get this opportunity in front of as many local businesses, charities and organisations as possible.

The launch is completely FREE and is for local organisations of all sizes you don't need to be a menopause expert, have an HR department or already have a policy in place.

If you know a local café, hairdresser, accountant, charity, community organisation, shop or business owner who might benefit, please send this their way.

And if you're involved in a local organisation yourself, come along. 🌼

Thursday 22 October | The Bridge, Barrow | 9.30am–4.30pm

“But we're only a small business…”

That's exactly why we want you to know about this.

You don't need hundreds of employees to make a difference.
You don't need an HR department.
You don't need a huge budget.
And you don't need a complicated workplace programme.

Sometimes meaningful change starts with one person understanding more.

One manager feeling more confident.
One colleague knowing how to start a conversation.
One small adjustment making someone's working day easier.

Menopause Confident Workplaces has been designed with organisations like yours in mind. Learn More https://www.dandelioncoach.co.uk/events-resources
