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.
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.
Unleash your potential
Outcomes are profound
and transformational
Women who come on this course gain fresh insight and personalised feedback on how to convey their message powerfully and authentically, either face to face, in the boardroom, on stage live or online virtually.
Turning promises into action
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a goal to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030.
Businesses can demonstrate their commitment to gender equality by:
- Joining the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs): seven principles for gender equality
- Participating in the UN Global Compact's Target: #5 Gender Equality
- Target inclusive recruitment, closing the gender pay gap and female development
