The Digital Women’s Leadership Program is a 6 day programme which runs over 6 months. This program, is for high potential women in middle/senior management. The program is planned to encourage and increase women technologies and their visibility in the IT sector. The training modules are designed for Hi-Po women to ensure long term engagement and the development of increased leadership impact.
As part of the course, participants will complete two assignments to obtain their ILM certificate. Participants will also take an on-line Emotional Intelligence (EI) Assessment and receive their individual and confidential EI Report. This is followed up by a 1-2-1 feedback session from the course trainer (a fully qualified EI Assessor) on the outcomes of the report, its application to the individual’s current work and suggested strengths and development opportunities.
1:1 Coaching will take place throughout the programme.

Module 1: Leadership & Management Skills 13th October
Leadership & Management Day 1
Overview
The Leadership & Management role can can be demanding and new skills are needed to achieve objectives. Although these skills do not always come naturally they can be learned.
In addition it is now accepted that technical ability or professional knowledge alone is not enough to be a successful leader in today’s competitive business climate.
To be able to interact with others, make decisions, take optimal actions in solving problems, and cope with change or challenges demands something more. This something more is Emotional Intelligence.
This practical course addresses these demands. The course is designed to be as practical as possible. The format includes individual and group practice, role-play and input from the course leader.
