What it is

The number of women in leadership roles in the Kingdom is growing, and so is the need for development programmes that address the challenges women leaders face in different work environments.

The programme combines one-to-one sessions with certified coaches, including women coaches, group sessions for sharing experience, and the platform's tools for practice and follow-up.

We deliver Women in Leadership Coaching for government, semi-government, private and non-profit organisations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Khobar and across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, in person or online, in Arabic and English.
