Gravitas for Women

Bespoke programmes to empower your female talent

Level the playing field

Creating a diverse and inclusive culture of belonging is a global priority and critical to the success of any forward-thinking organisation. It can even be a dealbreaker when it comes to attracting and retaining the right talent.

In today’s competitive market, women are looking beyond targets and commitments to closing the gender pay gap, favouring organisations which invest in programmes that speak directly to their needs.

Exclusive programmes to boost your female leaders’ potential

Antoinette Dale Henderson designed our women’s leadership development course in response to the demand for a programme that accelerates high-potential women to senior positions and addresses the real challenges they face as they progress up the career ladder.

Since then, we’ve:

Delivered a bespoke Gravitas for Women programme to Johnson & Johnson’s top 30 female talent, based in their Zug campus
Welcomed 20 senior female leaders from Siemens Healthineers to our open Gravitas for Women course, held in London
Delivered an Executive Gravitas programme to 55 of Allianz Tech’s global female leaders, including four online masterclasses and in an in-person Summit
Delivered 100s of Masterclasses and Keynotes to further the cause of women in business, empowering women at all levels to fulfil their potential
Run an exclusive Gravitas for Women programme for senior females at Finning.

“I am much calmer, act with more confidence and have become a better leader for my team and my organisation. Inspirational and hands-on at the same time."

“Antoinette's programme left a huge and lasting impression: 100% of the attendees went on to be promoted within the organisation within 18 months."

“A personal, transformational course full of very practical exercises and advice on effective communication techniques, making impact and much more. Thank you for inspiring, powering us up and making it so much fun!”

“We had the highest participation rate within our program as well as amazing feedback on the value delivered.”

“Antoinette’s observations and feedback on my current communication style were incredibly helpful.”

“Transformational for my leaders and my business and undoubtedly the catalyst and stamina behind our success.”

Command respect & stand out from the crowd

Building executive gravitas is critical for women who want to get taken seriously and accelerate their career progression. Doing so can be challenging, due to societal and cultural expectations (the classic ‘glass ceiling’). This is combined with psychological blockers that many women face, such as imposter syndrome, confidence issues and prioritising likability over respect (what we call ‘glass bricks’).

The good news is that anyone can tap into their authentic gravitas to power up their potential – when they know how.

Game changing for your female leaders

Our CIPD-accredited Gravitas for Women programme is an immersive course combining modular masterclasses and executive coaching.

The opposite of sheep-dip, class-room style learning, this course is experiential, fun and challenging, incorporating exclusive models and tools from both Antoinette’s books, Leading with Gravitas and Power Up which you won’t get elsewhere.

Women who come on the programme have what some call a life-changing experience which profoundly increases their confidence, visibility, assertiveness and executive presence.

Organisations that invest in this programme see increased engagement and retention of their female talent, stronger, more resilient leadership, greater gender diversity at all levels, a more inclusive pipeline and an enhanced corporate reputation.
