Course overview
Is it your time to Bloom?
If you are an aspiring, budding or existing leader who is ready for your career to blossom, you are in the right place.
Confidence is the currency that will enable you to grow in your career, yet many of us find it hard to build it within a workplace that wasn’t made for us. The challenge is, if we want to change the workplace, we have to change who we are within it.
At this time, women only occupy 24% at C-Suite level, just 4% are women of colour. We still aren’t being promoted or rewarded at the same level as our male counterparts. We struggle to self advocate, we take on additional work without reward and many of us are on the slippery slope to burnout with 43% of us looking for a new role and citing burnout as the reason.
In this course, we help you build the confidence needed to unlock your most authentic leadership style, build a sustainable operating model, banish burnout and set the foundation for a career beyond your wildest dreams.
This course is for you if
01
You are a new or aspiring woman in leadership who wants feel confident, powerful and like you belong in a leadership role
02
You struggle with speaking up in meetings so hold back, and navigate imposter syndrome in different ways on different days

In Bloom, you will learn
How to advance your career and negotiate pay rises in a way that feels authentic to you, without imposter syndrome holding you back

You will learn how to communicate with confidence and influence so you can stand your ground when challenged, give difficult feedback and turn difficult stakeholders into allies with ease and grace.

It's our time to Bloom.
Ruth Penfold-Brown
Coach, Advisor and former Chief People Officer
My name is Ruth Penfold-Brown. I have worked in leadership roles with Shazam (the famous music app), Onfido (a financial technology company), and bp Launchpad (a clean-energy investment subsidiary of bp; a Fortune 500 top 40 company).
But it wasn’t always that way.
I spent many years working under others, working hard and waiting to be given opportunities to grow. I sorely remember the days of doubting myself in meetings, not having the confidence to stand up for myself or address conflict with my peers and my bosses. I look back at the unnecessary pressure I put on myself - trying to people-please and be who I thought others wanted me to be instead of being my magnificent, authentic self.
In the end I realised that I needed to become the leader I was seeking in others and claim ownership of my life and career. I immersed myself in leadership development and gradually learned to love and respect who I was and step into my true self with confidence and conviction.
My journey has been one of self-discovery and empowerment. I learned the skills, tools, and mindset that got me to that elusive C-Suite, and now I want to share that knowledge with you.
If you are a woman and you’re ready to level-up and claim your seat at the table more fully, then I invite you to apply to Bloom.
You don’t have to be like everyone else, you just have to be you.
It’s your time to bloom.

In six modules you will cover
01
BELIEFS
YOUR BELIEFS, VALUES AND FINDING YOUR AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP VOICE
As women, we spend a lot of time hiding parts of ourselves in order to maintain connection with others. In this module we will explore the beliefs that hold us back and craft your authentic leadership voice.
02
LOVE
UNLOCKING YOUR LEADERSHIP ENERGY AND OPERATING FROM A PLACE OF LOVE, WITH YOU + EVERYONE ELSE
Learn how to communicate your ideas, opinions and boundaries are an essential part of leadership. In this module, you’ll learn how to present a message that resonates with any stakeholder and have the confidence to speak up and be heard.
03
OWNERSHIP
BUILD CONFIDENCE IN YOUR DECISION MAKING AND BUILDING STRATEGIES AND COMMUNICATE AUTHENTICALLY
Strategic thinking is an essential part of leadership. You might think you can't do it, but I promise you can. This module will give you insight into how you react when presented with new ideas, insights or data, and the tools to make powerful decisions.

OPERATING SYSTEM
LEADING YOURSELF TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE WAYS OF WORKING, SO THAT YOU CAN CREATE THE SAME FOR OTHERS
In this module we will understand what it means to live into our potential, and give you the tools to be able to craft a sustainable career where you, and all the humans around you, continue to grow.
