Springboard Women's Development Programme

Description

Introduction

Our Springboard Work & Personal Development Programme for Women is a structured development programme that provides the space and time for participants to reflect, understand where they are and move forward with greater clarity and intention in both their work and personal lives.

Delivered through a series of facilitated workshops the programme brings together participants to explore key themes and practical tools participants need to step back from the pace of everyday work and consider their priorities, strengths and future direction.

For more than 35 years, Springboard has supported women across the world to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen their communication and influence, and take intentional action in the choices they make about their careers and lives.

Programme Overview

Springboard blends personal reflection with practical development, helping participants gain insight into themselves and the choices they make in both their professional and personal lives.

Delivered through eight interactive workshops and facilitated group discussion, the programme creates a psychologically safe environment where participants can share experiences, explore perspectives and learn from one another – often building strong supportive networks and friendships that last a lifetime.

By combining reflection with practical tools and peer learning, Springboard enables participants to turn insight into realistic and achievable action.

Programme Suitability

Springboard is designed by women for women who are at any stage of their career, regardless of role, sector or level of experience. Although the programme supports leadership progression, it is suited for those earlier in their journey and in non-management roles too, which can be often overlooked for this type of development or training.

Some participants join the programme with clear development goals, such as improving confidence, exploring career direction or strengthening communication skills. Others simply value the opportunity to pause and reflect on their priorities and future direction.

The programme’s structured approach allows each participant to engage with the themes most relevant to their own experiences while benefiting from the shared perspectives of the wider group.

Because the programme connects both work and life experiences, many participants find the learning relevant not only to their professional development but also to broader decisions about balance, wellbeing and personal growth.

Programme Outcomes

Participants frequently describe Springboard as a development experience that stays with them long after the programme has finished. As the programme progresses, many begin to notice meaningful shifts in how they think about themselves, their goals and the way they approach challenges.
