Realise: Women’s Leadership Programme

Developing leaders to realise greater power and influence within organisations.

About Realise Women’s Leadership Programme

Realise is The Oxford Group’s leadership programme for women, focused specifically on the unique experiences, challenges and barriers that your aspiring and senior female leaders continue to face in organisations – often informal and implicit and always limiting organisational performance and innovation.

Our women’s leadership programme is different to ones you’ve seen before. We’ve shifted the focus away from ‘fixing women’ instead we create a trusted learning environment where barriers can be discarded, issues openly explored and new habits and responses built.

More than just a leadership programme, Realise is a catalyst for change. We involve the wider organisation in dialogue and action, raising awareness and sharing responsibility for creating more inclusive environments within which everyone can realise their potential.

Realise that more needs to change

For every 100 men promoted and hired to manager level, only 87 women are promoted and hired.
