As a people leader, how do you get your voice heard at a strategic level? How do you influence others in order to promote the value that you and the People leadership HR function bring to the organisation?

Today's business landscape is rapidly evolving and the People leaders that we meet share the challenges they face managing diverse workforces, navigating regulatory changes, and driving organisational growth. People professionals often talk to others about the need for continuous development to stay ahead in this dynamic environment but where's the focus for them as professional carers for all?

If you are a People professional or HR Leader join us over a course of 3 months where you will:

  1. Shift from feeling overwhelmed and often overlooked at a strategic level, to being proactive, setting boundaries, being in the driving seat - looking up and out to influence strategically and gain recognition.
  2. Overcome your inner glass ceiling, break through limiting beliefs to increase your confidence and credibility as a people leader.
  3. Learn how to successfully lead strategic change initiatives and enhance decision making skills.
  4. Network with like minded women and learn through shared experiences.


The programme consists of four comprehensive modules, delivered by 2 industry leading experts plus a specific thought leadership module from the University of Ulster.

The modules will cover key aspects of HR leadership, including strategic planning, hybrid working, talent management, employee engagement, and organisational development. Each module will offer in depth insights, practical tools and best practices curated by the facilitators to empower HR leaders to excel in their roles.
