What's involved?

The University has partnered with Result CIC to deliver a programme focused on driving positive change both individually and within the organisation by helping participants build leadership skills, gain valuable knowledge, and set personal goals through one-on-one coaching. Result CIC provides a nurturing and inclusive space that promotes personal growth by encouraging participants to explore their values, individuality, resilience, and visibility.

The programme covers key topics from building self-confidence, embracing differences like disabilities and neurodiversity, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, to utilising leadership skills, and learning how to use these skills to create positive influence at all levels.

How will I benefit/what will I gain?

• Three one-day, in-person workshops
• Three 1-1 virtual coaching sessions with an experienced coach who is disabled, neurodiverse or has long-term health condition.
• Work with experienced disabled facilitators who bring their own leadership stories to create an open, trusting learning environment. 
• Increased confidence in your personal style, assertiveness skills, and ability to relate to others.

Testimonial

"If you have a disability and want to be empowered in your career, don't hesitate, just apply.

The programme is accommodating and well-structured, and organisers are always open to feedback and dialogue. Professional, approachable and experienced leadership coaches who themselves have a disability, facilitate both a practical and sensitive approach to identifying the value inherent in lived-experience and to developing personal qualities and transferable skills relevant to leadership.

Asides from significantly boosting my career prospects, I gained a greater sense of belonging and validation, and this had a notable positive impact on my performance, motivation and overall health."
