Training overview
IMPACT for Managers is designed to run in parallel with, and enhance, our IMPACT development programme. This programme is aimed at line managers to build skills, knowledge, and confidence in the support and leadership of minority ethnic staff in their teams.
The aim is to build contemporary managerial knowledge, and a toolkit of techniques for embedding race-inclusion into everyday management practices. As part of this journey, you will become alert to race-based assumptions about career progression at Imperial, and about how talent is measured and valued.
The sessions for the two programmes are separate, so if you participate in IMPACT for Managers and you manage a staff member who is attending IMPACT, you will not attend any workshops with them.
Who is this course for?
This course is open to all staff members who have line management or supervisory responsibilities. The course is especially recommended for those who are managing a staff member who is attending the IMPACT development programme, but it is not limited to those managers.
Key information
- The programme consists of four online workshops spread over several months.
- All workshops must be attended in order to successfully complete the programme.
- Facilitated by an external trainer: Angela Goldberg Associates
- There is no charge for Imperial staff. We do not accept external delegates on IMPACT for Managers.

Netiquette for online training
- It is important that you are fully present and an active participant, to create a safe space for sharing and discussion.
- For some of our training, you will be required to keep your video cameras on. Please ensure prior to attending that you have a fully functioning camera and microphone. If you have any issues with your equipment, please contact us as soon as possible. If you require your camera to be off as a workplace adjustment, please let us know in advance so that we can make the trainer aware.
- Please ensure that you are in a private space where you can maintain confidentiality and the privacy of the other delegates.
- To maintain confidentiality, all delegates are asked to agree to keep what is said within the group, and not record or take screenshots/photos without permission. Pictures or quotes from the session should not be posted on social media or elsewhere without the express permission of those involved.
