How will it work?
The eight-month modular programme will supply the tools, the strategies, the mentors, the coaches and the long-term networks to support and challenge you on your way to the top.
Action learning sets will bring you together with women from different professions, sectors and organisations.
The learning sets are facilitated, not taught, providing the safe space for you to learn from the other delegates’ experiences and perspectives, to challenge assumptions and to examine your core abilities, strengths and values.
The six modules are designed around themes particularly relevant to women. They will give you tools or frameworks that can be put in to practice immediately in your workplace.
You will hear from inspirational women leaders and visit others.
You will explore practical leadership issues in a day with a charity, bringing your expertise to advise the organisation.
You will receive individual support from a personal mentor from the private, public or not-for-profit sector. Two one-to-one coaching sessions will deepen and sustain the learning from the group sessions.
On the 2018 programme we had an exciting collaboration with the Girls' Network for module 5 involving ‘consulting’ and research for this important charity. On module 3, we had incredible insights from Rebecca George (Deloitte) and Jo Simmons (LinkedIn) who are both WIG alumni who shared their experiences with the group.
