Training Overview

Training Overview

Despite clear evidence that organizations benefit from gender-balanced C-suites, the disparity between men and women in top leadership roles persists. This imbalance often stems from entrenched cultural norms and traditional practices where men are seen as natural leaders while women are relegated to supportive roles—a myth that must be debunked. Achieving a balance between masculine and feminine leadership approaches is crucial for organizational prosperity and ensuring that strategic decisions benefit both stakeholders and society at large.

This intensive training course by Coventry Academy is specifically designed to empower women with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in leadership roles.
