At GoCardless our D&I strategy, which helps us become more representative of the world around us, focuses on four key pillars. Our Propel: Women in Leadership Programme is us bringing our 'Representation Matters' pillar to life. It’s our first-of-a-kind programme focused on supporting women to not only progress into leadership roles but enabling a smooth transition by building the right capabilities ahead of time.??? Hear from Alexandra (Alex) Gold, a Customer Success Manager at GoCardless and a Propel participant: “Engaging, insightful and powerful are just a few words that describe the experience. It is rare you get the time to focus on yourself and your impact on the wider business in such a dedicated way. And we had a lot of fun along the way! One of the key takeaways for me was the idea of self perception vs. how others see us. Reports on ‘women in the workplace’ consistently show low self assurance compared to men. Through 1:1 coaching and group workshops, we were encouraged to recognise and celebrate the skills, values and talent we all have and the impact this can make in and out of work. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of Propel. I feel genuinely supported by senior leaders across the business and now have a network of remarkable women, and friends, across GC to support and empower one another.” We’re thrilled by all the positive feedback we’ve had from the programme and excited to kick off our second cohort with our partners in February! ??
