Women in Transformative Leadership: Emotional intelligence, AI and strategic growth

18 – 29 May 2026 - London - £4,750

This two‑week immersive leadership programme is designed exclusively for women leaders who want to strengthen their leadership identity, amplify their influence, navigate organisational complexity, and lead confidently in an AI‑driven world. 

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. 

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 features highly interactive group discussions.

The learning experience integrates emotional intelligence, gender‑aware leadership approaches, digital confidence, and future‑ready leadership skills—empowering women to lead authentically, courageously, and with sustained impact.
