"I can not thank you enough for granting me the space on the feminist leaders programme. I truly feel a different person for having been a part of this years cohort. I joined not really knowing what a feminist leader was, not feeling worthy compared to my colleagues, undervaluing myself and believing my skills in no way matched those of others. I would not put myself forward to speak and hid in breakout rooms rather than taking part. Fast forwards 6 weeks and my perspective has changed. I left with a lightness to my chest, like feeling a huge weight of the mask I hid behind had lifted. I feel valued, understood, appreciated, more self confident and with a greater understanding of my resilience and worth as a person and as a leader. Everything that my friends and colleagues have been telling me along, but until now had not believed. This experience has truly been life changing and I can not wait to see where my journey takes me to next" Book a place Ticket Quantity Price FREE - women's organisation or group We don't have this quantity of tickets.
