Women at the Top

Women at the Top

Woman of Action

Wow!  So much in the media about women’s place at work!

Greg Hurst in the Times pointed out that female leaders are better than their male counterparts.

……The Wall Street Journal last year reported on how men won more promotions and women felt that gender issues contributed to them not getting promotions.  

……Last year the Fawcett Society called for more action to tackle the gender pay gap.  

……The Guardian reported that despite the increase in the number of women in UK boardrooms, they still tend to hold non-executive and non-CEO or Chair positions.

……According to a report from Coutts and the Centre for Entrepreneurs 38%of serial entrepreneurs under 35 are women.

……And Royal Bank of Scotland’s research showed that in 2015  businesses led by women contributed £3.51bn to the UK economy and created 77,000 jobs in 2015.

Wow indeed.  And so the big questions:

      1.  Are women getting the same opportunities in the workplace and in setting up businesses?

      2.  Are women being treated equally in the business world to men?

      3. What do we need to do to make sure this happens?

Sorry, we don’t have the answers all neatly packaged here for you now.  But we are going to explore this issue in the coming months so we encourage you to visit our news page and have a look at our newsletter to get some answers and create some actions in the right direction.

Starting off, please read the first part of Women at the Top Leadership Research; fascinating insights on Women at the Top’s reflections on leadership by Halina Jaroszewska.

Halina’s research is an ongoing project and a valuable contribution to this dynamic subject; if you feel you have something to contribute or you know of a woman who does, please get in touch with Halina.

Choose from the following courses:

1.   Building a Personal Brand using C-me Colour Profiling and LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the most used and most successful digital professional network in the world. Used properly it can increase your social standing and worth, promote individuals and organisations, and create the right positioning for promotion, the next post and additional business. LinkedIn is a fundamental component of promoting your personal brand. But what is the point of having a great LinkedIn profile if it is fundamentally untrue? You will sooner or later get found out and discredited.

Everyone has a personal brand whether they like it or not. So why not have the best personal brand you can have? A personal brand which reflects the truth and your integrity?  That integrity comes from understanding who you are, both how you think of yourself and how others think of you, and modifying your very being to identify how you want to be, and how you want mutual communication to be and making that happen.  A truly Personal Brand which can be managed on LinkedIn to get the results you want.

C-Me Colour Profiling is an internationally recognised tool and approach to understanding self and how you relate to others, providing interpretation and guidance about how you are, your good points and ways of improving.

Each delegate will receive their own personal C-Me Colour Profile to help them understand themselves, build better communications and achieve their goals.

2.   Manager as Coach Overview

The value of mentoring and coaching to support individuals in developing their true potential is increasingly recognised.   But what is it and how do you do it?  This course starts by covering what mentoring and coaching is, and what it is not.  And then covers in detail how to do it properly, using the GROW method.  You will also gain an understanding of enterprise mentoring and life and executive coaching.  The course will enable managers and individuals to learn how to be successful mentors and coaches whether as an external coach or mentor or from within the organisation.  Many of the skills concern relationship development which is integral in any management role as well as in everyday life.

3.   Emotional Intelligence
