Large US Bank
Women in business - Building Confidence and Capability
The Challenge
When a major American bank asked us to help them achieve their goal of injecting more gender diversity into the senior levels of their business, we put our thinking caps on straight away.
The Results
Originally a three-session programme over three days was delivered to five cohorts of 10 people. Now a 6 session programme delivered entirely remotely, and not just to women but nowe for single gender groups. The programme – Woman At Work – aimed to:
- Inject gravitas, influence and presence into the female talent within the bank
- Help them more effectively demonstrate their capabilities across the business
- Increase confidence and conviction levels
- Improve abilities to influence people through flexible communication styles
72% of participants rated themselves as Strong or Very Strong across all competencies by the end of the programme. Overall, there was a 39.6% improvement across the 6 key touch points. The 2 areas in which the participants demonstrated the highest level of development across the programme moving them from ‘unconfident’ (2) to ‘strong’ (4) are key to ‘gravitas’, ‘presence’ and influence:
- Communicating a message or point of view with confidence and conviction
- Instantly flexing communication style to influence others more effectively
Participants were asked to rate from 1–5 how they feel about the following statements:

What our clients say
Excellent, unique training that really opened up my eyes to some things that I will take away and use daily.
The session was lively, well organised and delivered on its objectives. Pia was a fantastic facilitator who engaged us from start to finish! It was interactive, interesting and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions, discuss and practice.
