Skill Overview

This three-day course has been thoroughly designed with a modern woman leader in mind. It combines high-quality teaching content, built on years of experience, with interactive and highly practical sessions, where the delegates will have an opportunity to put their new skills into practice. The content will also feature interviews with inspirational women, who will share their experiences and provide useful advice on how to navigate modern workplaces and build a rewarding career.

Following two intense days in the classroom, the delegates will then go away for 6 weeks – to allow them an opportunity to experience their everyday situations via a lens of the knowledge from the course and think about their freshly designed personal development plan. They will be guided during that time by a carefully designed journal, provided to them at the beginning of the programme. They will then meet for the final day, to share reflections and experiences, and fully prepare for the journey they will be undertaking following the completion of the course.

But the benefits do not end there! The programme will also be a great foundation to get involved in the support network, hosted and operated by SPD and consequently, bring your career to the next level. All delegates are invited to participate in this highly exclusive group and are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities it presents.
