OE Cam has designed a new leadership programme specifically for women – providing a neutral, inclusive space to unlock women’s leadership potential.

A key aspect of our approach is tailoring content to the female voice and sharing relevant stories that draw on our experience of coaching women in senior leadership positions.

MODULE 1

The Adaptable Leader

Successful leaders adapt their style according to their environment and the task at hand. In the first module we explore various leadership styles and through connecting with your core values, help you to find your own authentic leadership style.

Topics include:

  • Understanding and overcoming common barriers faced by women in the workplace
  • Embracing authenticity by exploring different leadership styles
  • Identifying your core values and understanding their role in leadership
  • Cultivating emotional intelligence to enhance leadership effectiveness.
MODULE 2

The Confident Leader

Whether you’re a new or an experienced leader, moments of doubt can arise, making you question whether you’re on the right track. To be an inspirational force for change requires a degree of self-belief. Our second module focuses on bolstering your confidence in your abilities as a leader.

Topics include:

  • Recognising thinking traps & transforming limiting beliefs​
  • Understanding who you are – what makes you, you​
  • Harnessing the power of helpful habits to get things done​
  • Building your personal brand to project a strong leadership identity.​
MODULE 3

The Persevering Leader

Leaders inevitably face adversity, from challenging conversations to guiding teams through significant change. Module 3 will equip you to lead effectively in difficult, often ambiguous, circumstances while supporting yourself and others.

Topics include:

  • Recognising challenges
  • Understanding our response to difficulty and harnessing fear
  • Driving and managing emotional responses during times of change
  • Fostering grit, resilience and perseverance.
MODULE 4

The Developmental Leader

To effectively explore ideas and be an enabler of others requires the recognition that every individual is unique. Module 4 emphasises understanding your team members’ individuality and appreciating diverse perspectives.

Topics include:

  • Cultivating a growth mindset to foster continuous development
  • Empowering others through effective delegation for their growth
  • Promoting curiosity
  • Holding difficult conversations and delivering feedback
  • Adopting a coaching style of leadership
  • Forming great habits.
