As an organisation we know it is important to look at the ROI of any training investment. Our programme provides a number of key takeaways not just for women leaders attending, but also for their organisations, including:
“Loved every moment. Sarah and Laura are so inspiring and the programme has really changed my outlook. I can’t wait to put what I’ve learned into practice…”
“So often women in leadership roles can be seen as bossy, when men are just seen as ambitious, it was really useful to explore ways to elevate influence while still remaining authentic to myself.”
“From someone with some challenges with self belief, it was refreshing to see that everyone has some similar issues, albeit on a different scale, and learn techniques to elevate my own self development.”
“Amazing things happen when you put together a group of smart women and give them the right environment to develop and share ideas.”
