How our Ignite Programme works

Why UAE Leaders Choose the Ignite Programme™️?

The UAE is home to bold vision, fast-paced innovation, and a national commitment to gender-balanced leadership.

Ignite aligns perfectly with this ambition — offering a leadership development experience that is globally recognised yet locally attuned.

Our participants gain cutting-edge insight from the Resilient Leaders Elements® framework, tailored to reflect the unique cultural, organisational, and economic context of the UAE.

With its blend of quantifiable leadership data, world-class facilitation, and a safe, high-performance space for women to grow, Ignite is quickly becoming the go-to solution for organisations serious about advancing resilient, effective, and future-ready female leaders.

• It’s delivered by seasoned female leaders with real-world experience leading high-performance teams and coaching at a UK-based national leadership academy.

• It combines strategic leadership development with measurable personal growth, using the globally validated Resilient Leaders Development Programme (RLDP)®.

• It reflects the UAE’s unique leadership landscape, supporting national priorities around inclusion, innovation, and future-ready capability.

Research consistently shows that women face unique structural and psychological barriers in the workplace — including underrepresentation in senior roles, bias in performance evaluations, and additional pressure to prove their competence. A study published in Harvard Business Review found that women benefit significantly from female-only leadership programmes because they provide psychologically safe spaces to develop confidence, share experiences, and build strategic networks.

Women-only programmes are shown to:

• Increase self-efficacy and leadership identity

• Accelerate progression into senior roles

• Improve decision-making confidence and strategic presence

• Foster peer support and professional alliances

By creating a space where women can develop without comparison, interruption, or external judgment, we enable deeper transformation. It’s not about excluding others — it’s about equipping women to step into their leadership fully, authentically, and unapologetically.
