Women in Management - Face to Face

This programme is designed for women in, or aspiring to, management positions. They are interested in progressing further in a way that is authentic and fits with who they are.

The course is tailored to the needs of the delegates on the day. As your starter for ten, we’ve put together a one day programme that addresses the sorts of issues women commonly face including:

Lacking confidence in their management abilities

Setting very high standards for their own performance

Expecting recognition for their management skills, rather than selling themselves

A reluctance to put themselves forward for management positions

Attributing success to ‘the team’ rather than themselves

Being appropriately assertive

Establishing authority with reluctant subordinates

Worrying about losing their identity in order to succeed

We also know, from our own experience and the research, that particular management styles tend to suit women better than others. So we will cover some of those during the programme, including:

A coaching approach to management

Transformational and transactional leadership

Influencing rather than ordering

Learning Outcomes
