Empowering Women (Midlands)

Overview

You need to be authentic – you need to know who you are.

Our Leadership Academy programmes help you link your personal beliefs and values with the way you lead, so that you can plan how to enhance your impact and personal brand, defining how you can demonstrate your value proposition to the business as a leader. 

Empowering Women gives you the opportunity to reflect – and then challenges you to challenge yourself with real and focused personal growth, encouraging you to face the things that hold you back. You can use the programme’s tools, techniques and insights to go back into the workplace with enhanced self-confidence and determination. 

With introduction of two new elements in the programme, group project work and Belbin profiling, we believe this programme will set you up for success more than ever before.

Structure

This programme is spread over approximately six weeks.

The programme comprises a series of three one-day workshops, coaching, mentoring and group project work over three months, facilitated by expert leadership coaches and trainers.

Leaders who have undertaken the Empowering Women programme 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 programme.

As part of Empowering Women, you will be set a group challenge by a third–party agency and work together to develop a real-life solution that breaks new ground, challenges convention and creates conversation. We included a half day online session to support your group challenge (this session is not mandatory).

Belbin Self Perception Inventory

This year we are pleased to include an opportunity to gain greater insights using the Belbin Self Perception Inventory.

Belbin Team Roles are used to identify behavioural strengths and weaknesses in the workplace. It is helpful in developing people, resolving conflict and fine-tuning high performance. Belbin Team Role Reports provide the language to ensure that individuals and teams communicate and work together with greater understanding. You can check out more at Belbin Team Roles.

One-to-one coaching

Following the workshop and Belbin profiling you will have a session with an experienced coach on a challenge or goal of your choice, with particular emphasis on what is important for you and your future.
