WELCOME
We are glad you are here.
“When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.”
Toni Morrison
What is FL all about?
Toni Morrison’s quote sums it beautifully;
“When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.”

Our Services
Leadership Academy
Our aim is to create a global community of women who are able to thrive.
We are changing the way that women see leadership. We believe that leadership is not a job title nor a payslip. Leadership is a mindset. It’s how you choose to live your life. We are committed to developing female leaders through our industry specific programmes to help drive diversity within male dominated sectors.
With expert speakers and executive coaching to support you at every stage of your leadership journey. We also offer bespoke programmes tailored to other minority groups such as BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic).
Research
Our research explores business issues with a gender lens and covers everything that impacts women attraction and progression into male dominated sectors and into leadership positions.
We conduct research to help businesses develop a deeper understanding of the real challenges women face in their sectors and to share best practice.
Recognition and Reward
FL National Awards & Summit
Each year, the FL awards and summit programme recognises leading women and male agents of change from across the UK and beyond for their remarkable contribution to the advancement of gender.
Diversity and Inclusion Practice
We work closely with organisations to develop inclusion strategies giving them an advantage in a global multicultural market.
We want every woman to feel that she belongs in the workplace – regardless of gender or race. We believe that every woman who aspires to lead, should be supported in the opportunity to do so.
We support leaders in their vision to invest in and develop a strong pipeline of female leaders for the future.
The Power Of Community
Underpinning everything we do are the informal and formal networks FL has cultivated over the years. The community provides support and accountability.
Paying it Forward
Paying it Forward is part of our DNA, which is why we provide scholarships to the next generation of female leaders as well as raising funds for our charity partners. It is the same reason why we provide mentoring to our members.Our awards and leadership alumni play a crucial role in mentoring and paying it forward.
