Women’s Peer Coaching Group
We need more women in leadership. And yet we are struggling to get there. Capable, strong women are losing out on opportunities
As women become more senior in organisations they can find themselves increasingly isolated. Coupled with this, complexity and challenge are ever present in senior leadership.
Join a small group of women, at a similar stage in your career, to explore how to lead well in the presence of these challenges and to move to your next level of career and leadership.
These groups, facilitated by Jean Balfour, will run for 6-months and meet for 2-hours each month. Members bring their own topics for discussion and with a structured process will work towards gaining insights and creating actions. The group provides an opportunity to build a support network with women across sectors and locations
