In October 2006 IRIS Consulting ran a very successful workshop on the barriers to women’s progression, helping them to recognise and challenge the internal and external blocks to development. This workshop was attended by over 20 women from across the Private and public sector.
We are now able to offer a tailored version for your organisation.

Behind the Barriers

Recognising and challenging the internal and external
blocks to women’s development


Forget the Glass Ceiling — It's the Rickety Ladder that Needs Fixing

IRIS Consulting and Executive Action have developed a programme for women at a senior or executive level that will help them recognise and challenge both the internal and external blocks that could be affecting their professional development.

The programme will be looking at the internal and external barriers faced by some women. It will consider where power actually lies in the organisation, how to recognise hostile working environments and, more importantly, how to challenge and take control over negative internal and external influences.

There is a strong relationship between gender diversity, good corporate governance and high corporate performance. Ninety percent of the top 20 companies in the UK, by market capitalisation, had women directors in 2003 compared to only 40% of the bottom 20 companies.

Learn to increase your interpersonal effectiveness, leadership and communication skills
to gain the best possible results from you and your team and optimise your potential for
professional advancement.

Who should attend?

Managers, aspiring managers and women on the verge of director-level positions across all organisations.
