With an increasing challenge to retain great talent and ensure strong succession planning, alongside pressure from Government, Shareholders and Customers, to demonstrate a gender balanced Executive Board and senior management, companies have never been more under the spotlight to act.

It's vital

Especially for organisations facing the challenge of increasing speed of response, in a fast changing market place, whilst being able to understand and mitigate unintended risks.

​The benefit of management teams consisting of people with different experiences and mindsets where their varied points of view will be heard and considered, means the quality of the thinking is going to be broader and more productive. It will allow for better action plans and a variety of ways to look at problems and solve them.  That organisation will unlock additional ways to view risks and mitigate against them.

It's obvious

​Gender balance and the collaborative environment ensures the avoidance of Group Think  (an all too common phenomenon in higher management teams of organisations, as individuals subconsciously recruit and appoint “people like me”, either through choice, lack of availability or consideration of broader alternatives).
Accessing the spend of 50% of the population by better understanding these customers’ needs and better shaping the business services and products towards them.
The additional benefit is the attraction they portray to the hard to recruit future talent, being seen as a forward thinking, dynamic and inclusive culture.

For today’s organisations and businesses to succeed and thrive, forward-thinking CEOs and HR leaders cannot afford to ignore this.

​Based on Sue’s own leadership roles in global manufacturers understanding the many demands and pressures on business operations, the in-house workshops for company employees put business needs at the centre and combine with supporting board executives on how to address their understandable and unconscious concerns in promoting women as they expand inclusion and diversity in their leadership composition.

Her belief is that there has never been such a quick and effective way to unlock people potential, motivate employees, meet shareholder demands and see improved business outcomes, all in a matter of months. 
Her question to leaders is “Can you afford not to be planning for agility to change, securing the best talent in seeking unprecedented success?”

​At the Women in Business development workshop, we explored a number of techniques and theories relating to Influencing, creating Impact and Resilience before putting these into practice with real work place examples.

​We learnt tools including how to understand others, plan our approach, have clarity of outcomes and mental toughness so we develop our self awareness and our impact on others. And it was fun.

​​As a result, we are looking to build our confidence, improve our impact and influence with situations and people, professionally & personally, so making us more effective in the workplace.
