Overview

Virtual Event

Presence and Impact is consistently rated by CEOs as the number 1 most important skill to be a successful leader (over and above intelligence, experience, and technical expertise). It is the "wow" factor that sets you up for reaching your career potential, gives you outstanding results and your work/life balance that extra boost. Often described as gravitas, authority or the elusive 'X' factor, Presence and Impact dramatically enhance your ability to connect with senior people, motivate others and drive positive change.

Sponsorship Programme

At each Aspire event, 50% of the participants sponsor the other 50% to attend. Every paying participant is a sponsor for someone who doesn’t have the means at the moment for whatever reason to attend an Aspire event, providing them with access to the same enriching experience and networking opportunities as the other. It’s where one woman’s investment multiplies into a community of support and encouragement, a ripple effect that will extend far beyond the event itself. Learn more here
