At Tech Beyond Gender, we believe that real change starts with conscious action. Our Empower & Elevate programmes are designed to equip professionals with the skills, awareness, and confidence to lead inclusively and authentically. Whether you’re looking for a quick, powerful reset or a deeper transformational journey, our offerings are built to fit around busy professional lives—with both in-person and online options available.

Every session you join also contributes to a greater cause: supporting underprivileged girls to access better education and pathways into technology through the Gift a Smile programme. When we rise, we lift others.

Overview:

This focused, high-impact workshop introduces foundational concepts of mindfulness, self-advocacy, and active allyship in the workplace.
Through practical tools and real-world scenarios, participants will leave with simple, actionable strategies to foster inclusive environments and reclaim their personal power.

Our next Empower and Elevate session will bring together professionals for an inspiring evening focused on restoring inner balance and cultivating resilience in today’s high-pressure work environments.

This session will feature a special segment with Macushla Howell, a seasoned data leader who will share her powerful story of taking a career break — and how that pause led to profound insights on clarity, purpose, and the impact of inner stillness on career decisions. Her journey is a testament to the idea that stepping back can sometimes be the most powerful step forward.

The evening will include:

• A light vegetarian dinner and alcohol-free drinks
• Networking with like-minded professionals
• Guided breathwork and mindfulness practices
• Practical tools to build emotional clarity, calm, and authentic leadership presence

Proceeds from this event will contribute to the Gift a Smile programme — helping fund educational supplies for underprivileged children for a full year.

Come for the conversation. Leave with calm, clarity, and the joy of paying it forward.
