Mindset used to be a crucial part of professional development

In most specialised professions, career progression was historically handled by guilds.

In simple terms, they ensured that the craft was passed down properly to new entrants to the profession - which ensured that best practice and the highest standards were maintained by everyone practising it.

However, they differ slightly to the contemporary version of such programmes (apprenticeships, etc.) in that the guilds of old not only focussed on transmitting skills and knowledge, but also on building up the mindset of the young craftsmen.

This was perhaps crucial because of the sheer scale of the projects that those young craftsmen would soon work on - the building of cathedrals and temples that even today define a city or a kingdom.

But that focus on preparing your mindset for a successful career has been somewhat sidelined in most professions.

One of the participants of the previous cohort of the Leadership Lab found this to be the case - she joined the programme to support her mindset while she was completing her own qualifications.

From my experience of working with hundreds of women over the past five years, and having worked in two majority male industries myself, I know that imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs can set in very early in your career.

No matter what stage you might be at - whether you are in your first job, have just been assigned to lead your first project or have just landed your first leadership role.

So I created the Leadership Lab to give young women under 33 years a place where they could bring their uncertainty and self-doubt and leave feeling more grounded, anchored with a plan to move forward, and feel seen and heard because someone had their back.

My objective is to set them up for long-term success as leaders in an increasingly competitive and uncertain world.

Cohort 2 runs from March - August and enrolment is open until March 9th.

Admission to the programme is by application only. Please book a call with me to apply.
