WUN DRIVE

The first module will welcome you to the programme and set the scene for the exciting things to come. We’ll think about our learning objectives and how to manage the challenges of life as a woman at work.

We’ll also quickly get stuck into the content – starting with psychological safety. We’ll explain how to get comfortable not having all the answers, and how to create a work environment where your team feel safe to express ideas, try new things and voice concerns without fear of negative consequences.

In this module, we will focus on learning strategies to build and maintain confidence in a variety of situations – including when you are the only woman in the room. We will explore the skills needed to present yourself assertively, handle difficult conversations, and make decisions with conviction.

You will explore the roots of imposter syndrome, learn techniques to overcome it, and develop a strong sense of self-worth and confidence, as well as understanding what other women around you may be experiencing.

This module introduces communication and coaching techniques that you can use to support your team members’ growth and development. You’ll learn how to use the techniques to ask the right questions, and to create an environment that encourages self-reflection and personal development.

We’ll also take the time to think about the benefits of coaching and how it can support your own career.

This module covers the essentials of setting clear expectations, providing constructive and actionable feedback, and conducting performance reviews. We’ll also discuss techniques to get the best out of your people through engagement and involvement, as well as how to reflect on your own performance at work.

Setting career goals, identify opportunities for growth, and creating actionable plans to achieve your aspirations are the focus of this session. We’ll also loop back to module two to think about managing the different life challenges that women face alongside a busy and rewarding career. We’ll be looking at this through the lens of participants and those around them.

In this final module, we’ll get stuck into some bite sized skills needed as you climb the career ladder. You’ll focus on topics such as influencing, stakeholder engagement, decision making and financial awareness, through the lens of the changing utilities landscape.

Then we’ll take some time to reflect on our WUN Drive journey !
