Women in Transformational Leadership
Overview
The Women in Transformational Leadership (WiTL) programme, designed and delivered in collaboration with Purple Thread, is for women in middle to senior leadership roles.
The programme begins with an Insights Discovery Transformational Leadership (IDTL) profile, a personalised leadership development tool which will help you to understand your leadership style and impact. Your IDTL profile will be supported by a 1:1 debrief with a senior coach, followed by our four-module journey which will focus on elements and themes from the IDTL profile.
During each of the four group sessions, we will explore the Insights Discovery Transformational Leadership model alongside other authentic leadership models based on current research and best practices. Through the lens of female leadership and experiential learning, we will build a psychologically safe environment for our participants.
Each session will draw upon current theory and evidenced based thought leadership with practical application. The sessions will encourage both deep self-reflection and actionable insights. Activities will include mindful moments through to practical tools and ways of working. The dynamic and emergent themes will enable participants to rapidly apply their learning into their professional environments.
The programme will create the space to explore the common challenges women face in leadership and provide practical strategies for developing presence, building effective relationships, delivering results, and creating meaningful change.
Further 1:1 coaching is available based around your IDTL profile, upon request.

Who should attend this course?
Our Women in Transformational Leadership programme is designed for women in middle to senior leadership positions who have experience of leading teams and who aspire to expand their agency; this may be to advance into more senior roles or to broaden in their current role, or a combination. The programme would also be valuable for subject matter experts, individual contributors and specialists who input in high-level groups or board discussions with or without formal leadership titles.
Ideal participants will be committed to self-reflection, open to developing greater self-awareness, and interested in leading authentically, rather than conforming to traditional leadership stereotypes. Participants who want to co-create inclusive systems, where all team members can flourish and grow, will benefit most from this programme.
What you'll learn
The aim for this programme is for you to build sustainable leadership practices for long-term success by:
- Developing your approach to Centred Leadership through self-awareness, professional courage, agile thinking and a commitment to ongoing learning.

- Focusing on your Results Leadership through delivering consistent outcomes using your wisdom, authority and evidence-based decision making.
- Enhancing your Relationship Leadership through the strategies of building trust, collaborating well, fostering teamwork, and valuing diversity.
- Understanding different Power Dynamics; navigating the cultural and political nuances in your system.
- Identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs, impostor syndrome, and perfectionism.
- Mastering communication strategies to enhance your presence.
- Connecting with a supportive network of like-minded women leaders within this programme.
What participants say about the course
I signed up to the Women in Transformational Leadership programme to enhance my leadership skills, particularly working alongside mostly male colleagues and senior leaders. It was great to connect with other like-minded career women facing similar struggles and challenges, and to have dedicated time to reflect on my own leadership style and how to adapt it.
The course content was engaging and relevant throughout, and the pace of the programme felt well judged. What I’ve taken away most is a set of practical tools to stop second-guessing myself and to stand up for what I believe in – skills I know will help me keep working towards my goals.
I’d recommend the Women in Transformational Leadership programme to other women looking to grow their leadership presence and confidence.

I really enjoyed the Women in Transformational Leadership programme, and both Kizzy and Jo were wonderful – warm, engaging facilitators who made the sessions genuinely lovely to be part of.
The thing that has stayed with me most is recognising just how much of a ‘please others’ driver sits behind so much of what I do, and gently realising that taking on more work isn’t the same as adding value. Since then, I’ve been making a much more conscious effort to hold gentler but clearer boundaries, and I have this programme to thank for that shift.
I would recommend the programme to anyone thinking about joining.

The impact on my confidence has been significant. I feel a steadier belief in my own judgement, values and approach – not a louder or more assertive style, but a stronger inner confidence. That’s benefited my team too, because I’m more conscious of how I create space for others and model calmness through change.
I would absolutely recommend this programme, especially to anyone leading through complexity, change or uncertainty.

Breaking Through the Authority Gap: Why women Leaders can still Feel unheard
The Hidden Challenge Women Leaders Face Research consistently shows that women in leadership positions encounter what experts call “the authority gap” – a systematic tendency for their expertise, decisions, and strategic thinking to be questioned more rigorously than their male counterparts. This isn’t about capability; it’s about perception, bias, and deeply ingrained workplace dynamics and practices that […]
