Applications for the Stonewall Leadership Programme 2012, 22-23 November 2012 at Ashridge Business School, will open on Monday 9 July 2012.

Brand new information about the 2012 programme will appear here shortly.

The annual Stonewall Leadership Programme is the most prestigious leadership course for talented lesbian, gay and bisexual professionals in the UK. The programme enables gay professionals to look at their leadership from the dual perspectives of their sexual orientation and their workplace context. It provides a space where delegates feel safe to discuss how their difference as gay people impacts on their leadership experiences and outcomes. The unique freedom delegates experience to bring their sexual orientation into exploration of their leadership strongly influences their learning about why they operate at work in the way they do and how this impacts on their outcomes as leaders.

The Stonewall Leadership Programme is an intensive two-day residential which offers a selected group of 36 professionals a powerful opportunity to:

  • reflect on how their sexual orientation impacts on their leadership at work
  • find for themselves the means to exercise authentic leadership
  • explore how they can be more effective organisational role models
  • network and forge ongoing relationships with other lesbian, gay and bisexual professionals from the private, public and third sectors
