We recently hosted a special webinar to launch and explore the 2025 Women in Leadership Awards. 


Now in its second year as an official awards initiative, Women in Leadership is far more than a moment of celebration; it’s a space for connection, courage, and contribution. Since its beginnings in 2014, this programme has grown from small conversations into a powerful platform to elevate women’s voices in leadership.


During the session, we explored the impact this initiative has had over the years spotlighting honest conversations around imposter syndrome, authentic leadership, and the importance of peer support. A standout moment? Learning that 97% of attendees at one of our recent online sessions believed they struggled with imposter syndrome… until we unpacked it together and found clarity and confidence in its place. That’s the kind of transformation this programme offers.


What’s new for 2025

This year’s event is being hosted at the Midland Hotel in Manchester on 11 November 2025 will be our most impactful yet. We’ll begin the day with a transformative leadership workshop led by renowned coach Emma Bell, followed by a celebratory afternoon hosted by broadcaster and community champion Kaye Adams.


What to expect:

Inspiring panel discussions on leadership and resilience

A beautiful lunch and room full of connection

The Women in Leadership Awards ceremony

A meaningful moment to recognise the women and allies, shaping the future


What’s more, a portion of every ticket sold will support Women’s Aid, helping women and children affected by domestic abuse. Your participation will make a difference, in more ways than one.


Why these Awards matter

These awards are not about job titles or visibility but about values, integrity, and real impact. They celebrater the women who lead with authenticity, who mentor, innovate, disrupt, and lift others, and shine a light on leadership that might otherwise go unseen.


With categories ranging from Emerging Leader of the Year to Inclusion Leadership and Mentor of the Year, there’s an opportunity for everyone to recognise someone extraordinary.
