Transform Your Career: Women-Space Group Coaching

Are you wishing there was a space that you could lean into, for support and inspiration?

Are you looking for a place full of care to help you replenish and maximise your potential?


Join us on the Women-Space Group Coaching Programme.

“You created such a welcoming, safe community and it's exactly what I needed.  Thank you for your support and understanding of what we're trying to navigate here as women in the current HE landscape, and for offering an alternative approach and mindset.”

 

We have designed a group coaching programme that builds on our experience and knowledge of what it is like to be a woman working in higher education.

We know that many leadership roles can be lonely because the higher you progress in your career, the fewer opportunities there are for meaningful peer support.

We know that sometimes you just need that extra bit of knowledge and the push to make things happen.

We know that you can be sailing along and suddenly hit a problem.

We are here for you


Our group coaching programme ‘Transform Your Career’’ provides this opportunity.

“This programme helped me to develop new strategies for holding space as a leader, focusing on both body and mind. The balance between theory and practice was great, pushing me to reflect on and enhance my leadership approaches….insightful content, unwavering support, and challenges that helped me grow. Feeling valued and supported by everyone involved made this experience truly enriching.”

Through this series of six online sessions , a typical meeting will comprise:

1.   Group discussion and peer coaching

A mix of group discussion and peer group coaching where you have the opportunity to explore your concerns in depth.

2.   Laser Coaching
