“We have some fantastic female future leaders and in a heavily male workforce (due to the nature of our work) we wanted to provide support and guidance for our female talent.
After researching various companies and looking on LinkedIn, we found Sophie. The “about” section just spoke to us. Imposter syndrome, not feeling confident to speak up and being able to support us in developing and retaining our female talent is what made our decision to reach out to Sophie.
We met and discussed our needs. We settled on a Women in Leadership “Step into your Space” session and also a “Men Allies for Leadership Equality” and provided the opportunity for everyone to attend both sessions.
The sessions were valuable as first they validated a lot of feelings that women within every business may feel at some point or another. It also provided a great insight into how our male workers could offer their support and be allies. The fixed and growth mindset was fascinating and was definitely the star of the show and what we received the most feedback about.
Following the sessions, we saw a lot of our female talent begin to build their brand and their confidence increase as a result. We also received requests for further support in this topic so arranged coaching sessions with Sophie and received fantastic feedback about how useful the sessions were.
Not only was the training great but Sophie’s approach was too. Sophie is extremely personable, supportive, and knowledgeable. It was such a great experience working together and Sophie continues to support us following the training.
The work with Sophie has contributed to us being voted one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Women, a great recognition for the company.
If you are thinking of focusing on women in leadership within your business and looking for someone to support you reach out to Sophie, you won’t regret it.”
