Location: Notre Dame Kylemore

Seizing opportunities and overcoming challenges in leadership roles


Women face a unique set of challenges in the workplace and in leadership positions. The Women in Leadership Programme will deliver tools not only for leadership in general, but also to overcome those challenges specific to being a woman leader. Join the programme to connect, change and grow within a community of like-minded leaders.

Facilitated by Leslie Marquard and Sue Callaghan this series of talks and workshops will develop the specific skills that you, as a woman leader, most need to succeed to your full potential. We will hear from guest speakers who have thrived in environments that typically favour men, sharing what obstacles they have overcome and what opportunities they have seized - with a focus on translating those learnings into concrete, directly applicable tools for you to take into your leadership journey.
