About Programme

The number of women in key leadership positions remains low across most organisations. This is a big missed opportunity for businesses because increased diversity in senior management has been proven to boost performance. Moreover, women leaders bring unique insights into a key decision-making demographic that represents one half of the earth’s population.

Women face many unique but surmountable obstacles on their path to leadership. Obstacles like deeply ingrained gender bias, paucity of female role models and an increasingly male-dominated peer group the further they progress as a senior leader. These are challenges of organisational structure and culture that can with the right moves be addressed effectively.

This programme has been designed to help women executives like you overcome the organisational hurdles that restrict your growth. You will gain a keen understanding of your own leadership style and the moves you can make to refine it. The programme will introduce you to a network of women peers, opening up opportunities across industries and empowering you to push yourself and your organisation forward.
