Leaders Plus

is a social enterprise supporting talented men and women with young children so that they can progress in their leadership careers whilst at the same time enjoy their young family.
Our award-winning Fellowship Programme gives access to an external peer support network, high-quality training, mentoring and inspiring role models, enabling parents to thrive in their leadership role.

Too often, parents feel they must choose between an ambitious career and enjoying their young children.

The multi-award-winning Leaders Plus Fellowship exists to change this and applications are open from now until 29th October – expanding internationally from Fall 2023!. As part of the 9-month Fellowship, you get a senior leader Mentor, expert career development support, group coaching, a supportive cross-sector network of peers and practical tools to overcome work/life hurdles.   https://bit.ly/47EryCa
