IHSCM Women and Leadership“Sisters are Doing it for Themselves.”

Amanda Reynolds MD and founder of Blend Associates Ltd is excited that she and her coaching colleagues are collaborating with IHSCM to support the Women in Leadership Programme

As Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin famously sung:

“Sisters are doing it for themselves, standing on their own two feet and ringing on their own bells…. We got doctors, lawyers, politicians to...can you see there is a woman right next to you…”

In a world where women make up a significant number of professional roles across the NHS and social care, we want to explore how women can be supported to thrive in the workplace.

With 88.6% of nurses & health visitors, 42.5% of ambulance staff, 77.6% of scientists and 62% of managers and 64% of medical school entrants and 43% of accountants are now women. Yet, most of the senior roles across professionals are still predominately male and white male too. We want to explore why is that and what is holding women back. We wonder is it us or is it the context?

Sally Helgesen & Malcolm Goldsmith suggest in How Women Rise:

“We don’t appreciate the role external barriers play in keeping women stuck. Impenetrable old-boys networks, sexist bosses, men who seem incapable of listening to women or who claim credit for their ideas in meetings, career tracks that assume families do not exist, performance review criteria subtly designed to favor men, the unconscious biases that shape hiring and promotion: these impediments are real and unfortunately continue to play a role in stymieing women’s advancement. “

Despite all of these challenges we face we want to explore with you how sisters can do it for themselves and share some tricks and tips along the way.

Commencing 27th June, we will be providing 3 live and interactive webinars where we will explore women as leaders, the challenges they face and the potential for coaching to support this. The programme will be supported by Raechel Pooley and Dorinda Nartey.

We will use a format of webinars consisting of a short presentation of data, context, useful approaches, fireside chat with a speaker and audience breakout rooms for questions.

The upcoming webinars are as follows:

13th July 12pm – 1pm: Women Leaders and Neurodiversity - With guest speaker Rachel Pooley. Book your place.

12th October 12pm – 1pm: Women Leaders of Colour, in the room, but here is the power and influence. – With guest speaker Dorinda Nartey. Book your place.
