Springboard - Personal Development Programme for Women
Presented by Marian Larson of Equality Plus
Who is it for?
The Springboard Women's Development Programme is the 3 month award-winning personal and work development programme for non-management women.
Springboard is for women who know there is more to life and are seeking how to go about achieving it. Most are in non-management roles inside organisations whilst others are self-employed, unemployed or working in voluntary organisations. The programme is specially tuned to suit management women and universities use a special version for undergraduate students.
What are the results?
Women assess themselves, set goals and then develop the practical skills and self confidence needed to achieve those goals. Thousands of women in all walks of life and in different patterns of employment have opened up all sorts of opportunities for themselves, following the programme.
You can realistically expect any of these outcomes:
- have more self confidence and motivation
- set and achieve clear goals
- develop a positive attitude
- communicate more assertively and effectively
- present a positive image
- improve your work/life balance
Employers are able to develop the potential in this often overlooked sector of staff. Hundreds of employers have enjoyed the immediate and long term benefits of staff who are more highly motivated and better communicators following the programme. Commercial companies, public sector organisations, universities, government departments and voluntary groups in many different countries have all benefited.
Employers can realistically expect any of these outcomes:
- more highly motivated and focussed staff
- improved communications
- improved customer relations
- staff who bring solutions, not problems
- retention of staff
- promotions from within
What does it consist of?
The Springboard Women's Development Programme consists of 5 ingredients:
- four one-day workshops over 3 months
- a special workbook packed with practical activities and ideas
- positive role models
- support backup
- networking with other women
