LAUNCHING MAY 2027
Arise
A six month leadership development programme for global majority women built around action learning and group coaching
Why Arise
Too many global majority women are stuck just below the leadership level: ready for more and not getting it. Arise is about rising from there to a new level in your career.
It is for women preparing for their first leadership role or their next step.
What to expect
How you learn
Workshops, action learning and group coaching over six months, alongside other global majority women.
What you explore
Identity, confidence, barriers to progression (the glass ceiling) and high risk leadership appointments (the glass cliff), with practical strategies for navigating the workplace.
Shaped by you
We're building Arise with the women it's for. What they tell us in the survey and focus groups shapes what goes in.
Who it’s for
For women
If you're a global majority woman preparing for your first leadership role or your next step, join the waiting list. You'll hear first when places open.
For employers and partners
There are three ways to take part: sponsor places on the open cohort, commission an internal cohort for your organisation, or fund a community cohort with a charity partner. We're holding a short online briefing for employers in the new year. Leave your details and we'll send you an invitation.
Delivered by Empower Diversity
Our work is led by Abigail Iyaho, a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD with more than fourteen years' experience in equality, diversity and inclusion.
​
Arise builds on leadership programmes we have already delivered, including one for global majority women and global leadership cohorts.
