Sprinboard Programme

The Springboard programme works with women to help them contribute more effectively at work, while also managing personal goals.  Developed originally for the BBC, the Springboard Women’s Development Programme has now been successfully used by over 180,000 women world-wide. It’s delivered, to great acclaim, through a specially trained network of professional trainers.

What results can I expect?

Of course the results are highly dependent upon the objectives each participant sets herself. Many women use the programme to get results at work, such as new qualifications, promotions, new skills, a new attitude to change and a massive boost in confidence.

At the same time, many focus on results in their personal life, such as sorting out difficult relationships, improving health, dealing with stress and gaining a work/life balance.  Benefits that naturally have a spill-over effect in all parts of their lives.

Many women accelerate up their career ladder after attending the Springboard Women’s Development Programme, whilst others come to work with a renewed sense of purpose and a more positive attitude.

The managers of participants report that the participants are more focussed and confident after attending Springboard,  communicate more effectively, and focus more on solutions than problems.

Who is it for?

It is designed for women from all backgrounds, ages and stages of their lives. In the UK, the Springboard Women’s Development Programme is mostly used by women working at junior and non-management levels. Outside the UK, the programme is mostly used by management and professional women.

For employers, the programme enables them to develop their staff to their fullest potential and is often a key component in any Diversity and/or gender initiatives.
