Women in Leadership Programme at Mott Macdonald

Women in Leadership is a development programme designed with a focus on individuals who are seeking to further their careers and realise their potential, overcoming obstacles both perceived and practical. 

Throughout the programme, participants will develop their own unique personal brand along with a clear understanding of their strengths and the reputation they are seeking. As well as focusing on networking with purpose to ensure skills and talents are showcased, and personal brand promoted, to help participants be well positioned to grasp career development opportunities. 

The programme combines one-to-one and team coaching, peer learning, skills development, 360-feedback and in-depth psychometric insights which will challenge thinking, enable reflection, and facilitate individual and collective learning and development. 

Rachel Ellison, Regional Operations Director, recently hosted an alumni event for the programme, commented on how she was ‘humbled by the energy, honesty and openness of our alumni and inspired by their insights storis and journeys.’ She noted in her address to the group how improvements at senior levels align with the programme’s achievements, including:

• Increased representation of female colleagues at our most senior levels
• Promotion rates for women continue to rise
• Greater retention for female colleagues
• Steady reduction of the gender pay gap and increased parity of pay within grade boundaries.
