  • Authentic Leadership

Sope defines authentic leadership as doing what is good for you, your team, the organisation you are a part of, and the world. It’s not only about “what is in it for me”. It’s about helping others to thrive so that you can thrive with them. Our actions today impact the world tomorrow and Sope shares with us how we can create inclusive, equitable, and people over profit-centered cultures.

Comments & Testimonials

"thank you for supporting our IWD event yesterday. I was really inspired by the advice and words of wisdom you shared – there were some brilliant pointers for our colleagues as they plot their way through their careers and lives. We got some great feedback from the attendees on the impact you had on them on the day. I’ve also found that these types of events can have a strong positive influence on women for months afterwards – one example being when I interviewed a really strong candidate for a role recently who said that she’d never have applied if she hadn’t heard one of our speakers at an event last year who gave her the courage to go for it. I am sure your session will have a similar impact over time too."
Group Chief Operating Officer Wesleyan
"I have watched your presentation on Women in Technology and I found it very inspiring and helpful. I am the only female in my team and although I always had the support and encouragement of my male colleagues, I very often find myself in the Fear Zone. And most of the time is me that is keeping me there. I am looking forward to seeing more conferences from you and starting to apply your advice. Thank you for doing such a beautiful job"
Senior DevOps Engineer Tribal Worldwide London
