WOMEN EMPOWERED THROUGH COACHING AND NETWORKING

#WECAN - Impact and Growth is a women's business network and strategic development programme. It is designed for women in business who want to grow - in confidence, in capability, in clarity, and in their ability to create impact in their work and personal lives. At the heart of the programme is a 12 month development series delivered by The Leadership Centre - Women Leading With Impact.

It is relevant for women at every stage of their life and career including those who are:

  • Leading teams or projects
  • Running early stage or more established businesses
  • Shaping their career direction
  • Building confidence or exploring what comes next
  • Wanting to develop their potential and might not see themselves as leaders
