Structure

This course is spread over approximately 6 weeks and is facilitated by expert leadership coaches and trainers.

Empowering Women is a collaborative experience. With your group you’ll:

  • share ideas, insight and inspiration during a series of workshops
  • complete a Belbin Self Perception Inventory (read more about Belbin Team Roles)
  • benefit from tailored one-to-one coaching
  • undertake a project challenge as a cohort

Leaders who have undertaken the Empowering Women course have the chance to share their thinking and learning together. Members actively contribute to the alumni network through sharing and presenting their work, participating in learning opportunities and supporting colleagues who are participating in the course.

Trainers

Requirements

This course is suitable for any level of leader/manager in an organisation; in fact a broad spectrum adds value to the whole group. The range of participants to date include junior team leaders and project leaders, through to heads of service.

The assumptions made about participants are:

  • Some experience as a team leader/manager (or about to take on such a role in the coming months)
  • Enthusiasm to learn and contribute fully with a group
  • A strong desire to be proactive about change and career progression
  • A desire to make a bigger difference and greater impact in their leadership role

A commitment to the whole course is mandatory. Participants must have good communication skills and be willing to contribute with enthusiasm and energy. Outside of the course modules, there will be some requirement to engage in the coaching and mentoring sessions (via phone/skype), as well as collaborating online with others in the group during the course.

The course is designed to minimise travel costs and time away from the office. Course materials, refreshments and lunch are included. Travel and any accommodation required is the participant’s responsibility.

The course attendees will be invited to attend our annual two-day President’s Conference to take part in a graduation ceremony during the evening dinner.
