Thrive will also benefit your organisation
Many organisations have goals to increase their gender representation at senior levels and fail to make the progress they have targeted. Thrive enables you to invest in making a difference in this critical organisational target area.
How does it benefit your organisation for your women leaders to attend our Thrive programme? Each organisation is unique; however, here are some frequent reasons other organisations have told us why they invest in this way.
Succession planning: It is more cost-effective and more motivating messaging to promote from within where possible.
Staff retention: Investing in development is one of the top ways to ensure people don't leave your organisation to progress.
Broadening perspective: Learning from peers from a broad cross-section of organisations can help specialists and experts widen their views.
Visible action: Investing in your women leaders improves your corporate image. It promotes your company positively as you invest in something tangible to close the representation gap at senior levels in your organisation.
Positive role modelling: Your women leaders will emerge from this programme with more career confidence, motivation, clarity and skills to add value to your organisation. Their progression will inspire others to aim higher too.

Praise for the Thrive programme
Our Thrive alumni share their thoughts about their experiences on Thrive
Through my journey on the Thrive programme I've found a sanctuary to listen, reflect, and grow. It's provided me the opportunity to delve into experiences, unearth my core values, and fine-tune my strategies for success in the dynamic tech realm. With an abundance of knowledge, resources, and a supportive network, I feel equipped to confidently navigate the next phase of my career.

My time on the Thrive programme has far exceeded my initial expectations. Beyond acquiring valuable insights, it has changed my perspective on many things, including a significant shift in my inner confidence. The programme’s content is well-structured and evidence-based, building on itself with each module. I really value the camaraderie that has formed among the group – we’ve become each other’s cheerleaders. As I finish the course, I feel a tinge of sadness, but I’m excited for future 'Thrivers' who will benefit from this incredible programme.

I feel I should have done this course or similar earlier in my career. I found the course content quite well-thought-out, engaging and informative. The instructors' expertise coupled with the relevant information made learning enjoyable. I gained valuable understanding which I can now apply in my work as well as my personal life
