Strategic You - Creating and Achieving Your Visionary 2023
It is more important now than ever to set goals, dream bigger, think creatively, and be strategic in life, work and for your community/world. This event is a unique opportunity to take some time out with a like minded network to develop your strategic thinking skills, create your personal and professional goals, strategise how to overcome obstacles and create a plan to achieve them.
Strategic thinking is not only for senior executives, it’s an unwritten part of life, careers and all job descriptions. Recent studies reveal that strategic people have a unique advantage in the areas of career advancement, achieving results, salary negotiations, political acumen, networking and making a difference to others.
This seminar will be facilitated by Dr. Sam Collins, CEO of Aspire, named as an “Inspirational Woman and Trailblazer” by Brummel Magazine for driving significant institutional change and achieving incredible results, “One of the Top 10 Executive Coaches in the UK” by The Independent on Sunday and recognised by her late Majesty, The Queen as one of “The Top 200 Women in the UK to Impact Business and Industry”.
Those who have previously attended our programmes over the past 21 years have consistently fed back that our events are “different to anything else, best in class, inspiring, powerful, space to think, challenging, innovative, personal yet business focused, fun and empowering“.
We work 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 - not to mention the incredible support, positive affirmation and challenge that happens when you spend time with an external and diverse network of like-minded people. And as we grow we’re working with more and more men who are influencing change for women and who aspire for a more tolerant, equitable world for all.

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 program. 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
