What our delegates say about our programme

"Leading up to this programme I was at a personal inflection point. This programme has enabled me to meet, connect and listen to inspiring Senior leaders who I wouldn't had the opportunity to come across in my day to day life. Those nuggets of inspiration and wisdom as well as an amazing mentor really helped me work and get beyond that point."

"The Global Women Leaders programme has been absolutely fantastic. Each session has been well thought out and beneficial to attend. Hearing from senior leaders within the industry has been not only informative but inspirational and there are so many things I have taken from the sessions to apply in my own life and career. I would highly recommend anyone interested in the programme to apply."

"The quality, honesty and reflection that the speakers offer has been exceptional and really relatable. Peer Groups and support has also been excellent."
