Thriving in Leadership

A cross-organisational leadership cohort for Women of Colour

This programme supports organisations seeking to retain, develop, and advance Women of Colour in leadership roles.

It has been delivered across public, private, and regulated sectors, consistently supporting organisations looking to close the representation gap at senior leadership levels.

Leadership, influence, and advocacy in complex environments

Leadership today is shaped by complexity across organisational, societal, and global contexts.

For Women of Colour, this complexity often plays out more visibly, more publicly, and with greater consequences. Not because of a lack of capability, but because leadership systems remain uneven.

This programme recognises that reality without positioning Women of Colour as the problem to be solved.

It is a leadership investment, designed with Women of Colour at mid to senior levels in mind. Participants are already leading significant projects or teams, influencing key organisational decisions, and shaping outcomes. The programme supports them to do this with greater clarity, presence, and organisational impact.

Key outcomes for the course

Delivered as a cross organisational cohort, the programme creates a psychologically safe and rigorous space to:

  • Strengthen leadership presence, influence, and advocacy.
  • Sharpen decision making and leadership voice in high visibility contexts, where a balance of challenge and empathy is critical to success.
  • Navigate complexity and stakeholder relationships, with shared responsibility and trusted support.
  • Progress influence and leadership impact, reducing the need to micromanage self, and lean expertise towards sustainable organisational performance.
  • Develop self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and practical tools to build trust, lead effectively across differences, and navigate the realities of senior leadership with clarity and purpose.

Participants, including senior leaders, describe the programme as a pivotal point in how they lead, position themselves, and use their influence.

For organisations and sponsors, this is not a deficit diversity initiative. It is a strategic investment in leadership effectiveness, healthier, collaborative work cultures, retention, and long-term stewardship of talent in environments where who leads, and how, matters.

If you are a Woman of Colour committed to leading with clarity, influence, and purpose, and to shaping leadership beyond yourself, this programme is designed to meet you where you are.
