Course Overview

Society is undergoing seismic shifts, yet women still face barriers to achieving equality. Many of the structural hurdles they face have been heightened by global crises and the resulting economic fallout. These factors only emphasise the need to increase the capability and confidence of women to contribute to building more inclusive, sustainable organisations and societies.

The Women Leading Change: Shaping Our Future online short course from the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) explores the personal and professional capabilities required to be a purpose-driven leader. Over eight weeks, you’ll expand your understanding of the challenges women face and the levers of change that can help to create more equal and just societies. Through tutor-led learning and peer support, you’ll enhance your ability to influence and drive transformational, systems-level change.

Learn from women leading change globally, in many sectors and disciplines, hear from leading practitioners and academics, and expand your network with the support of like-minded women from around the world. You’ll gain insight into creating psychologically safe environments, and develop tools to foster innovation and collaborations that drive transformational change. On completion of this course, you’ll walk away with a practical road map to drive positive change in your sphere of influence.

The course is for anyone ready to lead change in organisations and society through systemic transformation. It will benefit current and aspiring leaders in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, providing fresh perspectives and a forward-thinking mindset. It’s for those looking to gain practical techniques and strategies to further accelerate change through their work within and beyond. It offers a safe space for reflection, reconnection, and time to identify, challenge, and overcome self-limiting beliefs and habits. If you want to be a part of a diverse community of students and contributors as they learn, inspire, and grow, this course is for you

    Dating back to 2014, Mobily’s “LEORON” experience has grown from a single collaboration to a long-term partnership. We consider “LEORON” Institute as a strategic partner, whose contribution has been nothing but premium in equipping our staff with field-based knowledge and information.

    Since the partnership was signed between BAE Systems Saudi Development & Training and LEORON in 2017, we have been working together to offer the Saudi market a complete portfolio of training solutions benefiting from the wide and extensive experience of both parties. Recognizing the great success of this partnership, we are looking for further collaborations in the future that will position both companies as one of the leading training providers in Saudi Arabia. We thank the LEORON team for their full cooperation and continuing support, and look forward to further success together in the years to come.

    We have been working with LEORON for the past two years and will be working with them again this upcoming year. The programs they delivered were fruitful and exciting and our organization has received positive feedback from the participants. What our organization aims to do is to provide at no cost training for all the private sector employees so that they may benefit from our offered programs in Innovation and Professional development. Leoron has helped us achieve this goal. We look forward to continuing this service and wish them the best of luck. Regards,
