Board, Leadership Development, Mentoring and Advisory Support

Sharing the know-how to really shift the dial on ED&I

An inclusive culture is essential to realise the sustained benefits of diversity fully. WB Directors have worked with a range of organisations for over a decade to support their strategy around Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and individual professional development.

We offer highly practical Leadership Development support, which will upskill potential and existing leaders of all backgrounds to work collaboratively and effectively alongside our career development programmes.

Our Leadership Programmes are designed to give ambitious C-Suite potential individuals and professionals the skills and knowledge they need to get on, including giving them the techniques required to clinch stretch promotions.

Via our Corporate Partnerships, career, board, and leadership development skills-based masterclasses and workshops, we can support your employees with their professional development requirements, giving them access to our powerful career and boards platform also if you wish.

Our tailored programmes, run by experienced and qualified leaders who have the skills and knowledge to support your employees, ensure your employees reach the next level of their professional development. There are many workshops available to choose from alongside our CORE Managing your Career, On Track for Success and Get on Board.

Our Getting to the C-Suite (GtCS) Leadership Modules & Programme 

Releasing the benefits of a diverse workforce requires high-quality leadership skills from managers at all levels and of all genders. Our Leadership content is designed to share research-based, yet highly practical techniques, to enable participants to operate inclusively and effectively in hybrid and flexible working contexts within fast-changing operational environments.

There are 6-modules in our programme designed to upskill ambitious individuals to stretch themselves into divisional or C-Suite leadership roles. We can run this programme in-house or offer corporates access to our network-based C-Suite Leadership Programme, which we run once a year. This network programme is run over a 6-month period (one module a month). It allows the individuals taking the programme to put into immediate practice their leanings and gain from the benefits of access to a broader and diverse group of individuals who work across industries.

The GtCS leadership modules available are;

  1. Getting to the C-Suite: Module 1, Leading Collaboratively
  2. Getting to the C-Suite: Module 2, Leading Effectively
  3. Getting to the C-Suite: Module 3, Leading Strategically
  4. Getting to the C-Suite: Module 4, Leading Change
  5. Getting to the C-Suite: Module 5, Leading Purposefully
  6. Getting to the C-Suite: Module 6, C-Suite Challenge

Our Mentoring support is entirely flexible and high-quality

We know that individual support at the right points in a career can make all the difference. Our bespoke programme will match your employees with high-quality experienced mentors within our network for a defined period. All our mentors are experienced senior leaders who are adept at using their lived experience to guide others in realising their ambitions.

WB Directors can also develop a wider in-house structured mentoring programme for the career development of a group of individuals. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like to talk about an in-house mentoring programme.

These are our current individual mentoring offerings which are available to your employees;

Our Advisory Services can be tailored to your requirements.

Our Advisory Services consultancy is based on WB Directors’ deep knowledge of Professional Development and ED&I. We follow all the emerging research in the ED&I field and combine our practical experience, gleaned from working with leading firms for over a decade, so we can give you the support and advice you need. We understand the challenges of delivering impact across a broad remit with limited resources. Our impact-focused approach can help your organisation prioritise activities within discrete areas or across your global strategy.

We also work with a range of consultants. WB Director can connect you with the ‘best of the best’ via our Partners who work in ED&I diagnostic consultancy, should you require additional support and advice.
