Unlock the diverse thinking of your team
Our 8-week training programme ensures women's voices are heard and expertise is recognised to increase innovation and retention.
Is this happening to the female talent in your organisation?
Their ideas go unheard, but we need all voices for innovation.
They aren't advancing to leadership roles despite having technical skills.
Losing them is costing you in recruitment, training, and lost expertise.
How this programme solves these challenges:
Developed by an engineer: 10+ years lived experience
As a Chartered engineer and product leader, I developed this programme to help women gain visibility and leadership sponsorship, and stay engaged long-term.
Successfully implemented with 300+ women in STEM
Combining extensive study of confidence, influence and power dynamics with insights from working with 300+ women in STEM to fix the underlying issues, not just surface symptoms.
Group workshops in person & online
Small groups mean women support each other through challenges, removing self-blame and creating space where differences are valued, not changed.
Team success stories
"This helps us to get the best outcomes in our work with all voices being heard"
I saw Christina leading an assertiveness focussed workshop with WES that was very effective and provided both inspiration and guidance to the women engineers who attended.
I subsequently asked Christina to lead a pilot workshop for 10 women engineers in our team who found it positive and rewarding. Many followed up with the 30 day challenge and enjoyed the opportunity to get tailored advice and implementable actions.
Supporting women in developing confidence in their interactions with others and navigating power dynamics, in what is often a male dominated environment, helps us to get the best outcomes in our work with all voices being heard. We’re now rolling out the next workshop, using pilot feedback to sharpen the content.

Talent transformations
From self-doubt to increased motivation and ambition
The programme helped me recognise that there was nothing wrong with me - there were just unwritten rules I needed to learn. Now I have a toolkit of actionable approaches I use every day, and I see my true value and insight.

From silent in meetings to sharing ideas confidently
I was confident in my technical skills but struggled to speak up in meetings. The programme helped me realise the stories I was telling myself were holding me back - and gave me the tools to change them.

From avoiding pushback to having tough conversations
I've got the base level of assertiveness to build on now. The more I'm getting into the job, talking to more senior people - my mindset's changed toward difficult conversations I wouldn't have previously approached.

Is this programme worth the investment?
Every woman who leaves costs you:
£30k minimum
In recruitment and training replacement
6-12 months
Of productivity loss during transition
Lost innovation
New ideas and perspectives unknown
Reduced team morale
Ripple effect on other women considering to leave
But shouldn't organisations change, not women?
Yes, both need to happen. Culture change takes years and is an extensive undertaking.
These skills work right now - and bridge the gap.
What we teach helps women everywhere - in work and life:
- Communication skills - valuable in any job, any company
- Handling difficult conversations - needed for any leadership role
- Building professional relationships - opens doors throughout their career
Women with these skills get promoted faster.
