Who could you help progress by sharing what you kn

Who could you help progress by sharing what you know and championing them for an opportunity?

This November, our dance calendar features Hula Kahiko, the traditional Hawaiian style of hula. Through movement accompanied by chanting and percussion, generations of Hawaiians have passed on knowledge, recounted histories, honoured ancestors and celebrated the landscapes and places their communities call home.

At work, through our time in an organisation or sector, we gain valuable knowledge about how things work, including much that nobody really formally explains. As allies, we can share that understanding with colleagues who haven’t had the same access to information or networks, explaining processes, sharing useful context and making introductions. We can listen to colleagues’ experiences and ambitions to understand what support they would find useful, while challenging any unfair practices that others may use to exclude them from opportunities.

As we approach the final months of 2026, we can review how we’ve supported others this year. There’s still time to speak with a colleague about their ambitions and think about where our knowledge and support could help them in their day to day and to take their next step.

We invite you to download our 2026 calendar to explore key religious, cultural and awareness dates for this month and next. We’ve included hyperlinks to additional background so you can learn more about different traditions and experiences. theprivilegeproject.org

Happy October. This month our Dance calendar featu

Happy October. This month our Dance calendar features Jarabe Tapatío, a traditional Mexican courtship dance from Jalisco. Often performed in vivid regional dress, with sweeping skirts and charro-inspired styling, the dancers move through a series of approaches and responses. Each person reacts to the other, so the back and forth influences what comes next.
Workplace conversations develop through response too. An idea can only go so far on its own, and people aren’t always listened to equally. Someone may receive less attention because they’re junior, new to the organisation, outside the expected role or less familiar to those around the table. Our assumptions about identity, experience or credibility can also influence whose ideas we’re willing to explore further.

Allyship can show up in how we handle those everyday exchanges. Give people time to finish, notice who gets talked over, and ask questions that come from genuine interest rather than assumptions. The questions we choose can help someone explain an idea more fully and give people who receive less airtime a better chance to contribute, build credibility and influence what happens next.

Swipe for October’s key dates and observances, and save the post for later.

Back to school has been front and centre for so ma

Back to school has been front and centre for so many of us this month, and it got us thinking about education, opportunity and what can shape our working lives later on. The road begins long before a child reaches the school gates, and many of the things that shape the journey are outside of their control.
Family circumstances, where and how they live, their school and teachers, available support and encouragement can all influence what becomes possible later. Those differences continue into working life. Some people benefit from useful introductions, greater financial security, flexible working, time to develop or access to sponsors. Others need to navigate more obstacles before accessing the same opportunities.

Our carousel spotlights three findings from five years of research across 20 dimensions of identity. What made our own journey easier? And upon recognising what helped us, can we be more deliberate about creating opportunities for others.

We invite you to explore your own everyday realities. Choose any or all of our quizzes across 20 dimensions and select the statements that relate to your experience. Scan the QR code to access, Note: Responses captured across our quizzes and surveys are anonymous.

If you want to learn more or speak with us, drop us a DM and a member of our team will reach out.

Happy September! This month our calendar features

Happy September! This month our calendar features Bharatanatyam, a classical dance from southern India. Over centuries, dancers developed an extraordinarily precise and detailed way of communicating through movement, rhythm, hand gestures and facial expression. During a single performance, a dancer may portray several characters and the meaning of a gesture can change depending on how and when it’s used.

That idea of meaning changing with context is especially interesting when we think about work. We all read tone, expression, gestures, timing and behaviour alongside the words being used. We also bring our own experiences and assumptions to that interpretation. That can affect who we see as confident, credible, senior, approachable or ‘a good fit’.

Some people are more familiar with the communication styles that workplaces tend to reward. Others may be judged against expectations they were never taught, or against norms that don’t reflect how they naturally communicate.

Before deciding that someone is disengaged, abrupt, uncertain or lacking presence, it can help to ask yourself what else might be influencing how you’re reading them.Opportunity can be shaped by these small judgements long before anyone formally makes a decision.

What assumptions might be influencing the way you interpret someone else’s communication?
