Women as Leaders

Strategies for career success

This programme, led by our experts in the field of gender diversity, is based on 20 years of research into women’s leadership by our International Centre for Women Leaders. It will provide you with the knowledge and attitudes to overcome the barriers and help you to develop winning strategies that will increase your promotional opportunities.  The programme integrates leading edge research with participants’ personal experiences to provide practical learning about leadership and how to navigate your way to the top. 

What will I get out of the programme?

You will gain:

  • A clear understanding of the challenges facing women in business
  • Feedback on your strategic leadership style
  • Identification of what career success personally means to you
  • Help on how to navigate an organisational culture where gender is probably a challenge.

 Your organisation will gain:

  • Female managers reaching and fulfilling potential
  • Individuals prepared for promotion into senior roles. 

What is the programme about?

Women as Leaders helps you to think positively about ambition, power, impression management and career success. By joining this personal development programme you will engage in stimulating research presentations, group discussions, a 360 degree leadership profile, co-counselling sessions, facilitation groups and depart with an elite network of women in business to work with in the future.

This programme is very participative in its approach by combining tutor input, group discussions and smaller group work designed to help participants develop insights about their assumptions, beliefs and behaviours. Each participant will have opportunities to review progress made against her personal learning goals as the programme proceeds. 

 
Who is the programme for? 

Experienced women professionals and managers who, for whatever reason, feel stuck in their careers, or feel that they would like to accelerate their careers.
