Empowering Women to Lead... Emerging Leaders - Scotland

Scotland Jan 2027 - March 2027

Summary

This four-day immersive program is designed to equip emerging leaders with the foundational mindset, tools, and behaviours needed to help prepare them to take the next step into leadership and management. The program fosters deep self-awareness, encourages authentic leadership development, and cultivates the skills needed to navigate complex team dynamics with confidence.

Participants will explore their own personal and leadership stories, examine the habits and beliefs that shape their behaviours, and build the capabilities to lead with courage, empathy, and impact. Through a blend of facilitated learning, interactive exercises, professional 1-1 leadership coaching and peer collaboration, participants will leave with a clearer sense of their personal brand, mission and the practical skills to inspire, influence, and lead in a rapidly evolving environment.

Program Experience

Empowering Women to Lead… Emerging Leaders immerses participants in a multi-layered development journey designed to ensure maximum individual impact.

Two leadership facilitators are used throughout our workshops to make sure we maintain high levels of personal engagement and diverse perspectives.

  • 3 x 1-hour sessions with a dedicated professional coach to explore your priority areas for personal development
  • Designed for “Empowering Women to Lead…” graduates as a natural next step and extension to your leadership journey
  • Learn and develop as a leader alongside industry peers and grow your network

  • Meet and learn from established industry leader guest speakers who share their journeys and experience

Coaching Experience

One of the most impactful and unique elements of the "Empowering..." programs is the inclusion of leadership coaching as a core component. While the workshops provide an immersive group environment to explore key leadership principles and develop your understanding, capabilities and toolkits, our 1-1 coaching with expert leadership coaches provides an invaluable space for personal and professional growth that is tailored to you and your goals and challenges.

Your journey on the "Emerging Leader" program includes 3 x 1 hour sessions with your dedicated leadership coach. Your objectives set the agenda, with your coach creating the environment and conditions that empower you to disrupt existing beliefs, view challenging situations from a different perspective and plot a course to destinations which had seemed unreachable.

Every coaching relationship is unique but are designed to provide a framework for measurable growth and accountable action. A typical coaching pathway could include:

Session 1 - Agree goals and set actions 
Session 2 - Evaluate progress and fine-tune goals if necessary
Session 3 - Final progress review and reinforce ownership
