Women in Leadership

Dates:

• 22 - 26 September 2025 - London (£2,850)

Course Outline

Build an invaluable network, share insights and solutions and take the next step on your leadership journey with this two week course.

This programme is targeted at women who are aspiring to improve their leadership capabilities. It will assist women to better understand what drives and sustains successful leadership, their personal motivations and strengths, and how best to work within a demanding environment while maintaining a reasonable balance between work and home life. You will learn and develop the skills and confidence you need to reach your goals and unlock your potential. 

Delegates will be examining their own leadership behaviour and how to build on their strengths to generate success within the workplace. Training will also focus on developing greater emotional intelligence and resilience to be able to overcome self-limiting beliefs and bias in order to communicate more effectively with authority, grow in confidence and build influence.

Why a woman-only programme?

It’s clear that men and women are equally capable of becoming good leaders. However, research shows that the path for women is often less straight-forward. Factors impacting on women’s path to leadership positions can include:

• Organisational bias based on traditional, ‘masculine’ notions of what makes a good leader
• Outmoded approaches to recruitment and development that don’t help women develop a balanced set of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills
• The different ways in which men and women build work relationships and networks
• Cultural expectations of how men and women are encouraged to view their worth and assert themselves

This course addresses the specific needs of women in the workplace, creating a trusting and non-competitive environment in which participants can identify their capabilities and develop a plan for growth and improvement away from the pressures of the work environment and every-day life. It is highly interactive and supplemented by site visits, group discussions, ongoing feedback and, at request, 1-2-1 coaching sessions.

This programme is essential for any woman aspiring to accelerate her career and grow as a leader.
