AUTHENTIC WOMEN LEADERS PROGRAMME
“The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”
-Padmasree Warrior (CEO & Founder, Fable)
In 2020 only 5% of Fortune 100 CEOs were women and there were more Fortune 1500 CEOs called David than women CEOs! In the 21st century so many women still believe they must be smarter, work harder and longer than their male counterparts in the hope of getting noticed or, they believe that to compete in a commercial environment and get the recognition they deserve, they have to grow a pair of (metaphorical) balls.
The Authentic Women Leaders Programme will help you to stand in your own strength, build your confidence and unveil a leadership style that connects with, engages and inspires others. Our team of (female) expert facilitators have over 100 years of collective experience of developing leaders in multi-nationals, hyper-growth SMEs, universities and not-for profits and know what it takes to lead others in a changing and often chaotic world.
This 7-month highly interactive blended learning programme will increase your self-awareness, give you the tools to achieve your life and business goals without destroy your health and mental well-being, leaving you inspired and energised to furrow your own path.

Who is it for?
Authentic Women Leaders is for women who feel held back (either by their own life limiting scripts or by the behaviours of others) and would like to build their confidence and capability as a leader. You might be:
- A business or community leader who wants to take your business or cause to the next level.
- A fantastic leader who has a ‘superwoman’ default and is exhausted by the inability to say ‘no.’
- A role model for other women or girls who would like to build your capability whilst nurturing the leadership potential in others.
- A middle or senior manager who wants to develop the tools to break through to the next level in business.
- Someone who struggles with decision making and self-belief and wants to make some significant changes to her life.
“The perfect balance of education and inspiration. Elizabeth’s session on Emotional Intelligence was equally fabulous and has already helped me today. The perceptual positioning exercise was timely and invaluable and has already given me success with a member of my team today! Thank you to you two wonderful ladies (Elizabeth and Lily) and your fantastic team. I’m thrilled to be learning from you as I move through this stage of my professional journey.”
