How It Works

We kick off the programme on Monday 15th June. First call will be on the Friday of the same week. 

We’ll then have a Collective Reflection session group each week on Fridays 9:30-10:30 (GMT) where we discuss everything that comes up for you & work through any questions.

I’ll send you pre-recorded 30ish minute trainings (the modules!) on Mondays with some Action Steps and questions to ponder before we meet

Throughout the 3 weeks I’ll be on hand to help you work through any worries or to offer resources and scaffold your learning.

Zoom sessions will be recorded and replays put into the group with closed captions and transcripts. Any other accessibility needs can be supported.

There’ll be a reading list to dive into and each week’s slides will be made available, plus journal prompts and “homework” to keep your momentum going in between our calls.

If you book the extra support option, you’ll get a 90 minute 1-2-1 mentoring session from me.

hi, I’m Siobhan

I’m a mentor, wife, teacher, mum of 3 boys and an insane collie.

I’ve worn so many hats over the last decade: Councillor, Governor, Chair of my local Labour Party, Union Branch Chair and I stood as Parliamentary candidate in 2019. I’ve run campaigns on education, housing, periods, holiday hunger…

Despite being quite an angry teen, protesting, writing petitions and causing havoc, I spent my twenties in workplaces thinking I had to be “professional”, and kept my head down not wanting to draw attention to myself. Bit my tongue A LOT. 

When I eventually left full time teaching, I was able to begin trusting my instincts again and tentatively flexing my activist muscle…

Which then led me to getting involved in local campaign groups, activism and then politics.

I went from a quiet(ish), sit on the sidelines mum to local feminist Councillor and activist standing for Parliament in just 2 years.

All the confidence that I’d lost in my 20s - from derogatory lesson observations and pointless meetings I never felt I could speak in - and all the passion I had for social justice came flooding back and saw me speaking up for my constituents on issues like housing, education, safe play spaces, accessibility and the NHS…

And the reason this was possible?

SISTERHOOD.

Because I sought out women and training that could support me to develop my confidence and my skillset. I knew I needed like-minded women around me who would lift me up. I am a Jo Cox Women in Leadership graduate and I’ve got countless other trainings under my belt.

And that is why I’ve created This Sister Speaks. What started out as a podcast shining a light on women supporting other women has become something really special.

This is the programme I wish I’d found back in 2015 after I left teaching. 

Testimonials

  • Siobhan's taught me how to be bolder with my activism

    "…clarify my intentions and direction. The world of activism is messy, but thanks to this course, I've been given a complete toolkit on how to structure the way forward.

    The course even instilled in me the confidence to pitch a book to a publisher! I learned so much in the community calls, and came away each week feeling topped up, restored and ready to take action.

    I couldn't recommend enrolling in This Sister Speaks more."

    — Maddy Shine

  • Siobhan holds such special spaces of kinship, laughter and solidarity.

    “This Sister Speaks is truly what the world needs more of - where we can be honest, as political as we want to be, grounded and enthusiastic while realizing our voices are needed and already whole.”

    — Emma Innes

  • I loved working with Siobhan and learned a lot

    “She created an inspiring space from dreaming and planning about how to use my voice more in the world and the community she gathered were incredible.”

    — Chloe Brotheridge

  • This Sister Speaks gave me new insights and awareness

     “which have already and will continue to support my growth. I discovered new forms of leadership to help me understand how I interact, collaborate and lead; and new ways of articulating and sharing things that are most important to me to help create the change I want to see.”

    — Laura Leigh Chapman

  • I was scared of getting it wrong or appearing to be performative.

    “Joining the course helped me feel so much more in community as I saw I wasn’t alone in those feelings, and Siobhan was super supportive and experienced…

    I felt more confident sharing my values and where I stand by being part of the course. We learnt tools for navigating the big feelings around speaking up, as well as how to go about campaigning in the future.

    Recommend!”
