Course Intro

Leadership for Women: Build confidence and increase influence

The number of women in leadership positions, whether in business or politics, is growing every day, but progress in achieving equal gender representation remains slow.

It’s the system, rather than how women lead, that needs fixing. A new leadership style has emerged and gained ground in recent years, challenging the long-established stereotypes of what makes a successful leader. This approach to leadership allows you to be decisive and strong, compassionate and people-centred, all at the same time.

Having more women in leadership positions isn’t just about equality – it makes sound commercial sense. Research by The Pipeline found that FTSE companies with more than 33% female executives have a net profit margin over ten times higher than companies with no women at this level.

In this module, you will gain practical advice and tips that will help you thrive in a leadership role.

You will:

Identify your leadership type and key areas for improvement
Get advice on ways to increase your credibility and confidence
Be able to apply new strategies to improve team engagement and dynamics
Identify strategies that will help you overcome some of the challenges you face as a woman leader
Gain insight into how to build a network that supports your career development and raises your profile
