This unique initiative designed to provide women with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to work towards their own version of success. The programme is led by the Dr Janina Steinmetz, and made up of an Executive Board including Bayes MBA students.

Cultivating a supportive community

At the core of the GWLP is a vibrant and inclusive community. Here, individuals find like-minded peers who share their ambitions and aspirations. These connections provide invaluable guidance and support throughout their career journey.

I was drawn to the programme's commitment to inspire, equip, and connect women who are or aspire to be leaders. The programme also has a focus on providing practical skills, mentoring, and network-building opportunities, all of which are essential for successful leadership. Furthermore, the programme's emphasis on gender-balanced leadership resonated strongly with my own values and aspirations.
