Gravitas For Women Open Programme
Communicate Confidently & Maximise Your Presence
Are you a woman in leadership looking to increase your visibility and accelerate your progression? This programme is especially for you

“I’ve recently been promoted to Creative Services Director, the first female director within the business. I have grown a lot in the past few years and your programme really resonated with me, just wanted to say thanks.”

Why is gravitas important for women?
Gravitas is a crucial skill for business success and the catalyst for senior positions. In a competitive environment, women with gravitas lead better, build stronger relationships and get better results.
We’ve developed the Gravitas for Women Open Programme especially for senior female leaders who want to smash through barriers, exceed expectations and achieve excellence in all they do.
What audiences say

What is the Gravitas for Women Programme?
Held in Central London, the Gravitas for Women programme addresses the real challenges women face as they progress up the career ladder. Founded on the unique methodology in Antoinette Dale Henderson’s book, Leading with Gravitas, the programme provides practical skills and solutions to typical challenges faced by women in senior leadership positions.
Participants have a memorable, some even say life-changing experience that immediately increases their assertiveness, executive presence and impact.
The programme is led by Antoinette Dale Henderson, award-winning speaker and author of Leading with Gravitas and Power Up: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Unleashing Her Potential, who has 25 years’ experience in corporate communications and now works exclusively with executive teams and boards.
Away from the day-to-day pressures and expectations of your colleagues, the programme creates a space for women to reflect on where they are now and how to accelerate their potential.
A comprehensive, phased programme
The course is split into two progressive parts, each designed to deepen participants’ leadership skills, personal power and strategic influence. Each stage is supported by tailored coaching or mentoring, a rich digital toolkit and practical frameworks for lasting change.
