Women and men approach personal development in different ways. Springboard is for women, and another programme, Navigator is exclusively for men. Both programmes deal with the whole person and guide individuals to find their own responses to personal development.
The benefit of single gender training for women is that all participants share issues and they know that their voice will be heard. Participants also know that they can explore issues that are particularly relevant to women where the shorthand vocabulary is understood and they will quickly reach a level of rapport not found in mixed gender groups where distractions such as competing for attention may interfere.
We have delivered women’s programmes for business of all sizes, universities, police forces and the voluntary sector, as well as local and national governmental organisations including the Home Office and Learning & Skills Council.
We have worked with UN agencies to develop women in the Middle East and in collaboration with the British Council we have also taken Springboard to women in Kashmir.
We offer a range of programmes for women, reflecting the differing needs of women at various stages in their lives and careers and the variety of organisational requirements.
Our flagship programme is the Springboard Women’s Development Programme. This has won UK national training awards. The developers, Liz Willis and Jenny Daisley won the European Women of Achievement Award in 2000. Springboard has something to offer all women at every stage of their lives.
Spring Forward is the development programme for those from senior clerical roles upwards, including middle or senior management. It works well in a women only setting but can also be delivered to mixed gender groups. Specially adapted programmes can be run for senior staff.
Our Super Confidence Workshop is a lower key one-day course that has been particularly popular with some of our voluntary sector clients. It is useful for women returners of those without the time to take on the commitment of a full development programme.
Our one-day Assertiveness course will help you towards positive and confident behaviour.
We also offer a tailored Basic Personal Development Programme that can cover a variety of topics including assertiveness, confidence, self esteem, goal setting, time management and prioritisation, skills audit and cv writing. Please contact us if you would like further information about this or any of our other programmes. |
