What got you here, won’t get you there

Women outnumber men in entry-level insurance positions, but men still dominate senior leadership roles, with, on average, only 1 in 5 executive committee positions being held by women.

The behaviours and habits that helped get you in the door, won’t necessarily help you get where you want to be and might even be holding you back. We shine a light on the typical roadblocks women face in the insurance industry, and help you push through them with confidence.

Our sessions are 100% female-led and tailored to the unique experiences and challenges women face. Feel at ease knowing you’re in a safe, judgement-free space, where like-minded professional women come together to listen, learn, and empower each other to take control of their careers.

Development also continues after the course, with suggested reading, helpful takeaways, a professional development action plan and access to a LinkedIn Women In Presence alumni group to support you as you continue your career journey.

Imagine if:

You had a solid career plan with simple steps to help you move forward
You felt calm, confident, and in control every time you entered a meeting
You were supported by a strong network, and opportunities regularly came to you

You felt sure footed when navigating tricky internal workplace politics
You felt fulfilled and excited about your work
You were able to identify and conquer your career blockers including imposter syndrome

You had better quality career conversations and felt more confident discussing your ambitions
You spent more of your time on high value work that drove your career forward
You became known as the “go-to” person in your specialty

Our 2-day course covers all of these points and more. Women with Presence has run since 2016, and has helped hundreds of women overcome their fears, take control and make things happen for themselves.

Our success stories

Two of my underwriting team recently attended this course. I encouraged them to sign up as I felt the learning objectives would support them with topics that have come up in some of our career and development conversations.

Following from the course I have been really impressed with some of the learnings they have shared, they even had some tips I have found helpful for myself!

The course has provided tools and knowledge to allow them to take meaningful steps for their career. Empower Development is a very appropriate name for this company, they are definitely more empowered!

I attended this course last month and found the two days to be incredibly useful. I left with a much better understanding about creating a brand for myself, how to carry myself in meetings and tough situations and many useful tips on how to engage in meaningful career related conversations, plus lots more.

This course is beneficial to all ages and for people at any stage in their career. It’s also a great opportunity to meet new people. It created a welcoming environment where everyone was happy to share their thoughts and get to know each other better.
