Who is this programme aimed at?

This programme is designed for senior women in leadership who might be feeling the following:

  • You constantly feel pressured and rushed at work, juggling multiple tasks and other people’s needs and feeling like it is impossible to get it all done
  • You’re always putting your own needs last and rarely find time for your own development as a leader
  • You look like you’ve got it all under control but actually worry is keeping you up at night and you struggle to switch off from work
  • You feel like your Inner Critic, that negative voice in your head, is really loud. And then you proceed to beat yourself up for having such a loud Inner Critic!
  • You want to develop your career and need to be seen as credible at that next level of leadership
  • You want to be taken seriously when you walk into a room of senior stakeholders
  • You want to be able to calmly and powerfully respond to challenging situations and negative feedback rather than react to them
  • Imposter syndrome crops up for you regularly causing you to doubt yourself
  • You set really high standards for yourself and can always see how you could have done things better
