Sponsees have said:
“Participating in the programme has been reassuring….it has bolstered my confidence and now I perceive the gap to the next level smaller than initially imagined.”
“The programme has lit a spark in me to get excited and interested in other parts of the business and collaborate more with colleagues.”
“I had the chance to put things in the right perspective and clarify my priorities/direction for the future.”
Sponsors have said:
“I've learned about roles and teams I didn't even know existed. I've also seen that irrespective of having completely different roles, leaders and markets, the challenges faced by each of us are very similar.”
"It has made me more sensitive to the needs of women at this level and more aware of how easy it is to support others and lift them up."
"It has brought some business synergy opportunities into focus that I hadn't thought of before, as I learn more about another part of the organisation from my sponsee."
