Raising Profile & Visibility on International Women’s Day
Join us on International Women’s Day for the Aspire 2023 Raising your Profile and Visibility Workshop.
“More than technical competence, business results, or even team leadership ability, visibility is critical to success” - Harvard Business Review.
The ability to be a confident advocate, sponsor, champion and supporter for yourself and others is a learnable skill set and enables transformational results.
If you want to find practical ideas and take profile and visibility to the next level in a way that is true to you, impactful and helps you, your career and your business or organisation improve results, we would love to see you at this workshop.
* What is the point of doing a good job if no one knows about it?
* How can you be more visible and increase your influence?
* How can create work/life balance and make a bigger difference?
We are delighted that Dr Sam Collins, CEO of Aspire will facilitate this one-off workshop. Dr Collins is an international speaker, coach and best selling author and has been featured on the BBC, CNN, The Times and many more.
Sam is known for her bold style and works with women who are seeking the stretch and inspiration to trail blaze new ways of creating bigger impact through content and an approach that is expertly tailored to you.
Benefits you'll gain:
- Learn new strategies for raising profile and visibility with senior stakeholders, peers, customers and colleagues across your business and industry.
- Beyond 'doing a good job', understand the importance of being seen, heard, known and advocating for yourself and others.
- Grow your advocacy, sponsorship and championing skills for yourself and others.
- Know what makes you stand out, be unique and be different.
- Become an effective and authentic networker when working from home, across time zones and in a hybrid world.
- Explore what you want to be known for in your life, career and workplace without being pushy, arrogant or selling your soul along the way.
- Grow your self belief, overcome modesty and your fears about being in the spotlight to create a more empowering perspective on profile raising.
- Understand your bigger purpose and reason to raise your profile and benefit your family, team, customers, organisation and others.
- Identify your key supporters, influencers, mentors and sponsors plus those 'tricky' people that you need to influence to raise your profile and visibility.
- Stop playing it safe, start raising your head above the parapet, taking risks and making more of a difference.
- Develop resilience and handle the 'Marmite effect' when people start to have 'love it or hate it' attitudes towards you or your work.
- Get out of the office to focus on yourself. Helps to keep you on your toes and out of your inbox!
- Leave the workshop with an action plan, support and accountability to make sure what you want to happen, happens post the event.

Over the past 21 years of Aspire for Equality, we have found that taking the time away from daily life and your organisation provides new inspiration, diverse perspectives, innovative ideas and an escape from ‘business as usual’ that surpasses an internal course or training event where everyone is from the same organisation.
“We had a really positive experience and we’ve received great feedback from our group of female employees who have participated in events to date. Would I recommend Aspire for Equality? Absolutely!” – Laura Howard, Global Lead HR Business Partner, IS, Astrazeneca
“A massive thank you for an incredibly thought provoking workshop….we now have 30+ women empowered to share some messages and learning in our organisation.” – Laura Simarro, HR Business Partner, Thames Water Utilities Limited
“It’s been a pleasure to watch the fantastic impact your work has had on our group, to watch people develop from what they have learnt from you and to see so many of them grow as a result of being part of your sessions. What you do is powerful. I too have learnt a lot, grown in confidence, altered my mindset and picked up some bright ideas along the way.” – Kathryn Kennedy, Leadership, Talent & Inclusion, The Home Office
“Over 300 female managers and partners have attended the course over time and the feedback has been incredibly positive. Reports of increased self-confidence, clearer vision in terms of building and progressing careers means a greater chance that these people will stay with us. That is very positive for them as individuals as for us as a business. A win:win.” – Mark Sherfield, Management Executive Partner, BDO LLP
“Great content, fantastic energy and a room full of invigorated, inspired leaders. Thanks for your amazing vision and for taking us all along with you. The vibe though Avtrade has changed since I stumbled across Aspire. Today we’re a force for change, inspiration and encouragement to leaders (whatever gender) and to all staff across the company.” – Tracy Keegan, Director of Contract Management, Avtrade Ltd
“Our group of female leaders are more confident, assertive, better networkers and thriving as a consequence of attending your programme. I am now counting on them to pay that forward by supporting, encouraging and coaching other women who are trying to find their purpose, voice and authentic leadership style in their careers.” – Elizabeth Vega, Global CEO, Informed Solutions
“I left feeling re-energised, re-focused and strong! I have already received feedback from other team members who attended the Aspire workshop who are applying their new-found techniques with positive impact and I am confident they will become a network of trailblazing women within our organisation and beyond.” – Diane Smith, Head of Talent, Learning and Development, Babcock International Group
