Description

This course is being delivered by Nottingham Trent University.

Women remain underrepresented in leadership roles, not only within organisations but also throughout society. This lack of representation diminishes their influence in decision-making processes. This has a trickle-down effect, impacting access to funding for female entrepreneurs, limiting their career opportunities, and earning potential.

Developing leadership skills is crucial for ensuring that women's voices are heard. It allows visionary, innovative, capable, and credible women to influence organisations and society positively, ultimately shaping a better future.

The Women as Transformative Leaders short course has been designed to empower female leaders to drive change. It will help you clarify your objectives as a leader, both now and in the future, and develop the essential skills needed to achieve them.

Nottingham Business School has offered Women in Leadership short courses for over five years. Female leaders and entrepreneurs who have completed these courses report promotions, enhanced career prospects, increased responsibilities, business growth, and greater confidence in pursuing their personal and professional goals.

The course is for female leaders in organisations across all sectors who want to develop their capability to be a purpose-driven leader and agent of change. The course is especially relevant for those female leaders in male dominated environments.

With an emphasis on purpose-driven leadership and being a successful agent of change, this course will also be relevant to senior experts and specialists needing to lead an initiative at an organisational level.

This course was created to empower aspiring female leaders by helping them discover their authentic voice and identity while enhancing their confidence to lead with purpose. Participants will gain clarity on their vision and values, enabling them to effectively communicate and engage with stakeholders.

Throughout the course, you will identify your signature strengths, enhance your influencing skills, and learn how to have courageous conversations, elevating your leadership presence.

The programme focuses on the development of critical leadership skills for informed decision-making and building meaningful relationships. As organisations increasingly recognise the value of female representation in leadership, this course addresses the need for a robust pipeline of purpose-driven female leaders who can inspire change and drive positive impact.
