RISE - Lancashire's unique leadership programme for women

As a career woman is it possible to have it all?  Without feeling guilty?  Without putting yourself last?  

We've partnered with East Lancs Chamber to bring you the Academy for Female leaders and managers, a holistic approach to the support women need to rise through the ranks.

The Academy launches with the RISE programme which runs one day a month from October - March and is packed with exec coaching, management and leadership skills, strategies, mentoring, peer support, fun and challenge, as you achieve with a group of women just like you. 

So - are you ready to become
