The Sponsorship Edge | Executive Learning Programme | Community Event

23/09/2025 - From 19h to 21h - Members & Guests
Registration mandatory

Are you working hard, delivering stellar results, but still not moving forward?

You’re not alone. Many brilliant, ambitious women feel stuck – passed over for promotion, left out of influential conversations and held in roles that don’t reflect their full capability. A major barrier is the lack of sponsorship by senior and influential figures. Research shows that women are under-sponsored by more than 50% in companies – and the challenge is more acute for women of colour and other intersections.

If you’re mid-to-senior level in your organisation and wondering how to go beyond, The Sponsorship Edge is for you.

This 6-module programme will give you the confidence and know-how to leverage sponsorship aligned with your next-level aspirations, drawing on unique mix of deep self-awareness, peer learning, real-world examples and practical tools.

This is your chance to activate champions who see what you bring to the executive table and elevate your career in a way unreached before.

What will you get from the programme?

Over four months, you’ll:

• Understand what sponsorship is – and is not – and the ‘Sponsorship Gap’ in your career
• Explore your leadership identity and how that influences sponsorship potential
• Plan your strategic alliances and career moves, showing up with authenticity and impact
• Practice developing trusted sponsorship relationships in complex organisational contexts
• Discover your way to drive change, leveraging sponsorship for yourself and others

You’ll walk away with a personalised Sponsorship Roadmap that crystalises your insights and charters your way forward. You can also opt for 1:1 coaching to benefit from additional, personalised support and keep momentum after the programme.

Is this for you?

The programme is tailored for professional woman who are in the mid-to-senior stage of their career who want to better understand, activate and manage sponsorship relationships to advance to or within executive leadership.

As a guide, they are likely to have 15+ years’ experience, be already managing or leading teams or hold Senior Manager / Director / Senior Director (or equivalent) titles.

If you’re unsure, feel free to get in touch and we’d be happy to discuss your situation. A programme for early-to-mid-career women is also in the making. To express your interest, email info@helentubb.com

What do past participants say?

“Absolutely loved these modules, Helen! Thank you for creating such a powerful and reflective space for us to explore leadership and sponsorship from within. Your insights truly sparked some important shifts in perspective for me. And the energy in the room was just incredible. Grateful to be part of this journey!”

“I was moved by your warmth and clarity and focus. To start from scratch with a group that has not been asked before who they truly are, what truly matters and how to find a professional shape for those things (let alone developing leadership) is quite a venture.”
