Course Introduction
A dynamic and interactive one-day course which offers an in-depth look at the difficulties women face in the workplace, and teaches the skills required to overcome them.What's it about?
Of 195 independent countries, only 19 are led by women, 23% of Fortune CEOs are women and 15% of executive officer positions are held by women. Something is clearly amiss and some organisations are starting to recognise this. That’s why Jim Smith has pledged that we will reach 40% (from the current 30%) female representation in senior leadership roles by 2020. Learn how to best convey the skills you possess and earn the recognition you deserve in the workplace.
This fast-paced and highly interactive course will consider some of the main constraints for women in the workplace and find out how to address them. This is an empowering workshop providing opportunities to share, network and learn from each other. It will include case studies of women (inside and outside of TR) who have successfully navigated the workplace and overcome the hidden structural barriers facing women professionally.
