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. The programme will run from 11 February 2027.

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.
• The option of preparing and delivering a short presentation of leadership learning to a small audience of senior University representatives

Testimonial

"The programme was a genuinely shared and supportive experience. I found it validating, but it also changed my mindset, opening up new ways of thinking about myself, self-help and leadership. It gave me greater courage to take up space. That isn’t always easy, but I came away believing it’s the right thing to do."
