Why is it just for mums?
It's just for mums because - becoming a parent shouldn't be a barrier to success but right now it still is.
There are 32% fewer women in leadership roles after starting a family (Careers After Babies, 2023) and the WHO suggest that the motherhood penalty makes up 80% of the gender pay gap.
​
INSIDE Leadership focuses on the transition to working motherhood and into leadership. Matrescence - becoming a mother - impacts every aspect of our identity including how we show up at work. Bringing with it some incredible leadership benefits but also a whole new set of challenges to overcome.
In fact 77% of mums report experiencing a negative or possibly discriminatory experience during pregnancy, maternity leave and/or on return from maternity leave.
INSIDE Leadership provides accessible online workshop sessions to equip aspiring leaders with the tools and confidence to lead their teams and to influence and inspire others. Creating a safe space learn tried and tested techniques to overcome the unique challenges faced by mums in leadership.
It also acknowledges the extra shift and provides the tools and tactics needed to balance work, family and space for ourselves.
Research shows the benefits of having a sate environment for women to explore their potential, share successes and failures, and receive feedback, mentoring and coaching. That's why the programme includes both group and 1:1 coaching.
Traditional learning environments can be hard to access - especially if you are the default parent.
So INSIDE leadership is all online and scheduled with school friendly session times, in term time only, with no lengthy assignments to complete!
Regardless of your route into parenting (or how long you've been a mum), INSIDE Leadership is for anyone who holds the incredible title of mama / mum / mummy / *bruh (how does that even happen!!) who is an aspiring leader.
