Empowering women

Our Women’s Leadership Programme helps women develop their leadership skills, take control of their careers and expand their networks. So far we’ve inspired over 120 ambitious female leaders – could you be next?

Who’s the programme for?

If you’re an aspiring female leader who’s keen to develop but not sure where to start, or an organisation looking to invest in and empower your female talent, our Women’s Leadership Programme is the answer.

How does it work?

Our programme will help you build confidence, develop leadership skills and expand your network, all while meeting other high-profile successful women. It’ll also give you new tools to influence and improve business performance.

Why are women-only programmes important?

Women now make up over 40% of board roles in Britain’s biggest listed companies. That’s great news. But there’s still lots of work to be done when it comes to getting women into senior leadership positions, particularly in the East of England.

That’s why we created this programme – to acknowledge that female leaders often have a very different experience to their male colleagues. And to bring together like-minded professionals in a safe environment, help them better understand themselves and take the next step in their careers.

Our programme is also important because it helps the women who attend create their own close-knit network. Studies show that women who support women in these types of groups have better success in business – in fact, they’re more likely to get executive positions with more responsibility and higher salaries. That’s because women trying to get into leadership positions face more cultural and systemic hurdles (like unconscious bias) than their male counterparts. But close connections with other professional women – like those created by our programme – allow them to share experiences and act as mentors to each other.

How will it help your business?

The Women’s Leadership Programme isn’t just about empowering individuals. It also benefits organisations. Studies show that companies with a higher percentage of women on their boards outperform those that don’t by quite some margin, and are significantly more profitable.

Our programme will make sure you don’t fall behind by helping you develop talented women as leaders of the future – and create a more inclusive culture.
