“I have learnt who I am and what I am capable of…”
“I knew I had to get out of my own way. I knew I had blocks. I knew there was so much noise around me. While there’ll always be predictors for leadership success and traits we can aspire to, She Leads Change has made me realise nothing sticks without the personal journey. It is only possible to produce our best work when we work with who we are in our entirety.” – Lamese Waterfield
I’m amazed at how much I’ve learnt already
“I’d been feeling a bit stuck and was struggling to overcome some challenges at work. I sensed that She Leads Change was what I needed, but I really wasn’t expecting it to be so powerful and so genuinely transformative. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learnt already from my peers, from my coach, from the incredible facilitators… and through this collective learning I’m beginning to discover and uncover who I am and how to be more me.” – Antonia Orr
What makes Leading From Within so effective?
The biggest benefit our change-makers receive is a new way of thinking.
This allows them to:
- better manage their internal narratives,
- improve diverse personal and professional relationships
- operate as confident, courageous leaders within any societal system.
This is reinforced through coaching and continued engagement with the wider-community.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it involve?
Participants meet for seven virtual three-hour sessions over 3 and a half months, every two to four weeks. Sessions combine expert knowledge, reference materials, structured content, group co-creation and a buddy pairing to further connection and networking. Peer coaching is included throughout, and professional one-to-one coaching with our Springboard panel of accredited coaches is available as an add-on.
Who is it for?
All women – in their individual capacity or from diverse organisations: corporations, start-ups, charities and grassroots organisations. Our Leading From Within participants range in experience from CEOs to junior employees – of varying ages and life-stages (mothers returning to the workplace, first career milestone, big promotion, big failure, crossroads or career change) and differing socio-economic backgrounds. We actively seek women representing grassroots organisations or under-represented communities.
How is Leading From Within different to other leadership programmes?
We focus on instilling individual agency and building confidence through action and co-creation covering topics that include Self, Other, System, Resilience and Community. We use diverse learning modalities, techniques and models including active listening, peer-to-peer coaching and action learning sets, relational dynamics, clean language, paradigm shifts and reframing, change management and systems theory.
What does it cost?
Individual, self-funded places from £995. No VAT is charged on these fees.
Organisations sponsoring a participant are charged a tiered rate by sector. Please contact us for organisational pricing.
Supported and sponsored places are available.
What will I get?
We offer:
- 7 virtual learning sessions of 3hrs each, covering the topics of Self, Other, System and Resilience.
- 1 community session to extend your network and meet the broader She Leads Change Community
- 12 Journals covering key topics and reinforcing learning through supporting exercises.
- Unlimited co-creation opportunities to ‘rehearse’ new ways of working, new ideas and to develop competence
- Focused attention: The cohort of up to 32 participants are grouped in facilitated ‘pods’ of 6-8.
- Coaching: Peer coaching is included for all participants. Professional one-to-one coaching is available as an optional add-on: three 60-minute sessions with an accredited coach you select from our diverse Springboard panel of accredited coaches.
- Discount to our LeadMore monthly subscription, designed for ongoing learning and support
Is Leading From Within online or in person?
Leading From Within is delivered entirely online, so you can take part from wherever you are. The cohort meets over video for seven live sessions, with reflection and connection continuing between them. There is no travel and no residential requirement.
What is the time commitment beyond the sessions?
The programme is designed to sit alongside a working life. Beyond the seven three-hour sessions, you can expect a short journal reflection, a conversation with your buddy, and the occasional piece of pre-reading or co-creation between sessions. For most participants this is a manageable few hours between each session rather than a heavy additional load.
Is coaching included?
Yes. Peer coaching is included for every participant, woven through the programme as part of how the cohort learns together. For those who would like deeper individual support, professional one-to-one coaching with an accredited coach from our panel is available as an optional add-on, and you choose the coach who fits you.
Can my organisation pay, or be invoiced?
Yes. Many participants take part with the support of their employer, and we are happy to invoice your organisation directly. Organisational rates are tiered by sector. Please contact us at hello@sheleadschange.org and we will send the organisational rate card and arrange invoicing, including any purchase order or supplier agreement you need.
