Lets face it, managing people, profit and your own performance comes with its rewards and challenges.
As a female manager you are often faced with competing demands on your time and resources, even the most experienced of managers share that they have feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm which eats away at their confidence and impacts their ability to deliver at the level they want to.

If you want to deliver on your objectives and perform at your best while managing your people and workflow confidently, there are two key areas we will help you to focus on.

1. Your relationship with yourself (self awareness)
2. Your relationships with the people you live and work with
