Why is this programme needed?

 

Despite organisations investing heavily in initiatives to improve female representation, progress is slow. Women generally fall behind early in their careers and continue to lose ground with every step. While the reasons are complex, men and women experience career progression differently. 

Among the challenges women must overcome are societal conditioning, learning to self-advocate and strategically develop their career. This requires a specialised leadership journey acknowledging and addressing the unwritten rules and norms of behaviour in the workplace.

To achieve greater balance at senior levels, organisations must consistently develop high potential talent at every stage of the pipeline.

There is a ‘broken rung’, and options available to companies to address this is what The Playbook is all about.

Earlier this year, I partnered with Advancia for a bespoke ‘Women in Leadership’ programme. I am happy to say that the results of the programme exceeded all my expectations. Dawn and Jean were enthusiastic, engaging, knowledgeable and inspirational.
