Are you rethinking your career direction, rebuilding confidence after change or preparing for your next leadership step?

This special evening offers an exclusive taster experience of the Empowering Women Leaders in Career Transition programme - a transformational development journey designed for experienced women navigating pivotal career moments.

Many talented women reach mid-career transitions, returning from maternity or caring breaks, navigating redundancy or questioning what comes next, only to find their confidence shaken or their momentum stalled. This programme was created to change that.

At this interactive taster session, you’ll experience the powerful approach behind the full programme and discover how it helps women regain clarity, confidence and career momentum.

During the session, you will:

✨ Explore mindset, confidence and self-sabotage patterns
✨ Experience practical, powerful self-development tools
✨ Connect with like-minded professional women in a supportive environment
✨ Experience coaching-led development used within the full programme
