This post offers a more visual reflection of four photographs that capture the atmosphere, tone, and impact of the day we presented our micro-workshop at the Educational Leadership Summit UAE.

At the WELN Educational Leadership Summit in the UAE, we shared a 15-minute extract from our Confront the Grey Voices workshop. What followed were powerful public reflections and private conversations that revealed just how deeply the message landed. This post captures the signs and conversations of impact that emerged from LinkedIn responses to on-the-day reactions and why internal voice work continues to matter in leadership.

Anita Stewart represents Grid Society at WELN: UAE Educational Leadership Summit 2025. In a powerful session titled Critical Voices: The Ones Inside, she explored the role of internal dialogue in educational leadership.
