Personal Development Case Study
Finding the leader within
This specialist government agency has almost 12,000 employees and contractors in the UK. Its goal was to support individuals from under-represented groups, who had been identified as high potential, to develop their careers within the agency. The organisation recognised women faced internal and external challenges to this progress.
“This course has by far been the best personal development opportunity I have ever received; it has given me the tools to recognise my authentic self and be comfortable with who I am.”
Participant
Approach
Working with the learning and development team, we co-created a bespoke programme to give individuals the tools they need to face these challenges. The programme aimed to support them in several ways including: to develop their identity as a leader, to navigate their career journey with authenticity, and to find support from within.
We blended face-to-face and virtual learning for the programme. Sessions were varied and included keynote speeches, focused skill sessions, coaching circles and modules about personal development. Participants also had access to an interactive platform, full of content they could explore further if they wished.
Impact
The impact of the programme was profound. The women were given not just professional development tools, but personal ones, too. They felt equipped to put themselves forward for promotion, and be their authentic selves. 96% of participants felt their confidence increased and they were prepared to ask for promotion.
