The Empowered Leader: Emotional intelligence, feedback and impact

The Program

In today’s complex and high-pressure financial landscape, technical expertise alone is no longer enough to excel. This programme is designed to help women leaders and emerging leaders cultivate emotional intelligence (EQ) as a strategic leadership advantage — strengthening their ability to influence, communicate, and thrive in dynamic organisational environments.

Through interactive learning, practical tools, and frameworks such as Transactional Analysis (TA), participants will explore how personality, communication styles, and emotional awareness shape workplace relationships and outcomes. The programme empowers women to lead authentically, navigate challenging dynamics, and break through bias with confidence and clarity. Participants will leave equipped to lead high-performing teams, build trust and influence, and foster inclusive, resilient cultures where both people and performance thrive.

Learning Outcomes

Speak With Influence: Communicating to Lead and Inspire

The Program

Leadership isn’t just about action, it’s about perception, presence, and purpose. The Empowered Leader helps women in financial services define, communicate, and amplify their leadership identity with authenticity and confidence. Through a blend of reflection, practical communication tools, and feedback techniques, participants will learn to align values with career goals, craft a distinctive leadership narrative, and build visibility in person and online. 

The programme also addresses the challenges women face around recognition and influence, providing strategies to navigate bias and advocate with credibility. Participants will leave ready to lead with presence, shape perceptions with intention, and communicate with clarity and impact across all professional settings.

Learning Outcomes

Lead by design: crafting an authentic personal brand

The Program

Leadership isn’t just about action, it’s about perception, presence, and purpose. Your personal brand is the story people tell when you’re not in the room: a blend of reputation, authenticity, and impact that shapes how others trust, engage, and create opportunities for you.

This programme empowers women in financial services to define and communicate who they are as leaders, with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Through reflection, practical tools, and feedback, participants will align their values and goals, craft a distinctive leadership narrative, and build a consistent presence in meetings, networks, and digital spaces. Addressing the unique visibility and recognition challenges women face, the programme provides strategies to navigate bias, advocate for achievements, and lead with influence. Participants will leave equipped with a confident, credible brand that builds trust, opens doors, and amplifies their impact.

Learning Outcomes
