About the course
The Women Leading Change: Shaping Our Future online short course from the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) aims to inspire and equip women to lead society and their organisations towards a more just and equitable future.
Over eight weeks, you’ll examine the processes and levers of change through three lenses: society, organisations, teams and your own personal context. Enhance your ability to influence and drive system-wide change while embracing your authentic leadership voice. You’ll expand your network through dedicated interactive spaces and conversations with peers. You'll learn from a diverse range of expert practitioners and academics and be guided by tutors each week to apply what learning within your own context.
Gain valuable and relevant skills, and walk away with:
- In-depth knowledge of the systemic challenges women face and the ability to lead change with confidence, resilience, and transformational leadership skills.
- An authentic leadership style and the principles to communicate with influence.
- The tools to create purpose-led, psychologically safe environments, build strong relationships, and nurture teams for long-term effectiveness.
- An extended network and community of like-minded women, and a leadership action plan to lead sustainable transformational change in your sphere of influence.
