Advancing Women in Business & Sport
I help organisations advance more women into leadership, through programs built on the Advancing Women Formula: Business Intelligence (BQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and Social Intelligence (SQ).
Women don't need fixing, systems do.
That’s why I created the Advancing Women Formula, a proven blend of Business Intelligence (BQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and Social Intelligence (SQ). These three domains are the blueprint for leadership capability and career success in today’s workplaces.
Whether you’re an organisation serious about advancing women or a woman ready to step into bigger leadership roles, this is how we move beyond conversation into action.
Programs for Women Leaders.
From first-time leaders to aspiring board ready executives, my programs meet women where they are, and take them further.
I offer programs for women at every stage of their leadership journey. Each one is built on the Advancing Women Formula — BQ, EQ, and SQ — so women develop and demonstrate the business-critical skills that accelerate careers and close leadership gaps.
Leadership Fundamentals
For women early in their leadership journey.
• Build business acumen (BQ) to get results and lead for outcomes.
• Strengthen emotional intelligence (EQ) to lead yourself and others effectively.
• Develop social intelligence (SQ) to navigate confidence barriers and step into leadership with clarity.
Outcome: Women gain the foundations of leadership capability, confidence, and business impact.
Moving Through Middle
For women ready to step up to senior leadership.
• Expand strategic and financial acumen (BQ) to make decisions that matter.
• Harness emotional intelligence (EQ) to create influence and impact.
• Apply social intelligence (SQ) to network with purpose, position yourself, and lead like a CEO.
Outcome: Women accelerate their careers with the skills and influence needed for executive roles.
Executive Readiness and Sponsorship
For women preparing to step into executive or board-level positions.
Master executive presence and visibility.Secure sponsorship and build the networks that open doors.Embed BQ, EQ, and SQ at the highest level of leadership.
Outcome: Women are equipped with the credibility, influence, and systemic support to thrive at the top.
The most sought-after people in 21st-century organisations will be those who are known as being able to move organisations forward and manage themselves and others effectively through their expert, ethical and trustworthy approach to business.
