The Light Workshop Programme is aimed at businesses that want to benefit from empowered female employees, the strengths they bring to relationships and decision making and the commercial benefits of diversity in senior roles.

 

It addresses both recruitment and retention - critical and expensive issues in any organisation.  By creating cohorts of female and non-binary leaders in-house, it provides the basis for female networks as well as up-skilling and enhancing confidence and talents to the benefit of the individuals and the business. 

​

 

 

 

This is a business-critical issue as the latest global research by Deloittefrom 2024  confirms there is a long way to go to achieve gender equity within corporate leadership. Globally, women hold less than one-quarter (23.3%) of board seats, while progress at the highest executive levels remains severely constrained with women occupying just 6% of CEO positions. This reality is not unique to a single sector but is echoed across corporate structures and industries internationally, highlighting a systemic challenge in building and retaining a robust internal succession pipeline.

​Growth and Nurture 

​Tailored for the needs of leaders in your business, The Light Workshop Programme is designed around the two principles of nurture and growth. 

 

• Growth is about personal development, and supporting future female leaders with skills and confidence to reach their potential. 

 

• Nurture focuses on supporting female employees through well-being and resilience. 

 

The workshops will engage, inform and connect women with core skills, knowledge and a strong internal network to help them build connections with the business, each other and their strengths.

​

Format 

​Typically a cohort is made up of eight women and will include six, 3-hour workshops over 6 months with one-to-one sessions at the beginning of the programme to set goals and at the end to agree on an action plan for the future.

 

The programme creates an Action Learning Set environment to support women in the workplace, recognise their talents and potential, and celebrate the contribution women can make to any organisation with ambition operating in today’s world.

​

The programme can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the cohort and can be designed to incorporate key priorities and values of the business.
