As a woman, do you find the climb from mid-level management to seniority a elusive task? Or perhaps you’re looking to break into a leadership role, but the male-dominated industry seems impossible to break into? There is no denying that women in this generation, while the most educated in history, still have to work harder for similar results to their male counterparts. But where do you find the confidence to seize hold of your potential?
Enter Susan Croft, international trainer and communications expert. In this interactive, fast-paced course, she will take you through some of the organisational and personal constraints faced by women when it comes to career progression, as well as focusing on key areas such as communications, career planning and management, and leadership development, to help you be the best version of yourself.
This programme has been evolving for the past 25 years and has been delivered across Europe, Asia and the USA to organisations including Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, UCL Graduate School, the University of South Florida, BIMA, Unilever and many public forums.
You will leave feeling more confident in your abilities to manage your role in workplaces dominated by men, and with a better understanding in creating a healthy work life balance.
