“A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.”
– Melinda Gates
The South East Action Learning programme is for women working in Higher Education who are current or aspiring women leaders. It will support you to find your voice, to be ambitious in progressing your career and to use the wisdom of others to find your own.
Our Ambition
Women in Higher Education are changing the world, – through education, through research, through conversation. The S.E. Action Learning project brings current and aspiring women leaders together, from Universities across the South East, to build a network of peers who can support each other to succeed.
What We Offer
South East Action Learning (SEAL) offers you the opportunity to work with peers to build leadership skills, explore different perspectives and be supported to tackle challenges. You will be assigned to a specific SEAL cohort where you will have the opportunity to work with women from other Universities.
““It’s very empowering to be surrounded by likeminded women who aren’t in your direct university. ”
“It has been a very positive experience and encouraged me not to be apologetic for being ambitious”.
“It has made me rethink myself as a manager in terms of my style and how I deal with colleagues in tricky situations and my actions and how I face some situations. It has also impacted my personal life too. ”.
”
