The “Global Shine Initiative” has announced the launch of a global roll out of female empowerment programmes focused on ‘Finding Balance’ to facilitate a ‘top-down’ approach to increasing the number of female leaders.

This global project is being supported by inspirational female roles such as First Lady of Japan Akie Abe, Lady Barbara Judge, and Professor Susan Madsen all creating a fantastic network of global mentors and contributors through the Shine Platform. It is free to sign up and access all of the materials and resources on leadership, empowering women, and change. So, how can you get involved? This year the focus is on Europe (London), UAE (Dubai), and Asia (Tokyo). The dates for the next cohorts of the programme are below. There is only space for 12 women on each cohort of the open programme, so please contact Tiffany if you would like to nominate yourself or someone from your organization/network (maximum of two people from each organization).
  • Finding Balance Europe (London)
