Women’s Leadership Development

Tailored support for organisations to advance female leadership talent

Despite the career advances made by women, their increasing numbers aren’t reflected in the senior appointments made. Women taking on senior roles can face varied and complex challenges. Executive women’s leadership development coaching provides invaluable support as they establish themselves and their own personal brand of leadership.

We also run a flagship leadership programme for women, Go Ahead! which is a blend of workshops, team and individual coaching.

“Elaine is a fantastic facilitator of learning, shows great skills, humour and patience. I am indebted to her, as I move onto the next stage in my leadership career. I feel so much more equipped now, as a result of attending this programme. Thank you, Elaine.”
