Women's Utilities Network

Development and coaching for women in utilities

We do not “tell” women how to be. We walk alongside women on a journey to discover who they are and what they can become.

Helping women in utilities thrive

At Becoming we help women* to take a journey of personal development to live and lead unapologetically.

All of the women that we work with are highly talented individuals. Sometimes, however, through circumstances or choice, you get knocked off track or face challenges in your career. We know that stepping back on track does not need to involve learning new ways of doing.

Our approach to development and coaching is to help women to look within, at the thoughts and feelings that arise naturally in the face of challenge, and at the reactions that shape the choices they make about who and how they are in the world.

We walk alongside women like you, helping you to step back on track and discover the woman and leader you were always created to be.

* Please note that we welcome individuals with non-binary and gender-fluid identities and those who identify as women.

The Becoming Journey

The Becoming Journey is a personal development programme for women. It is an opportunity to explore who you truly are, to know your inherent value and find your purpose.

Over the course of four months we walk alongside you, helping you to discover the woman, the leader, that you are and unstick from the challenges that block you. This programme will equip you with the tools to succeed, both professionally and personally, across all the many roles that you fulfil.

Delivered as a high-quality, flexible, virtual learning journey, we offer you the opportunity for deep personal reflection as well as support, challenge and connection with the other women on the programme. You’ll leave knowing the ripples you want to create going forward.

Handling Conflict Workshop

Our workshops offer a new perspective on the challenges that many women face in the workplace or their careers more generally.

The Handling Conflict workshop will help you handle conflict with courage. It will help you to identify your “firm ground”, where you can stand in the face of conflict and handle the situation in a way that is true to you. Rather than teach a process of conflict resolution, we will focus on you, and how you respond to and handle the conflicts that you face.

Members of the Women’s Utilities Network enjoy a discounted price of £240 (including VAT).

Personalised Coaching

Coaching is a unique, individual experience, that focuses specifically on the barriers and challenges that you face.

Our approach draws on a model of psychological flexibility called ACT, and allows us to work with you on the things that you can control: the choices that you make despite the thoughts and feelings that come up.

Coaching packages are tailored to your needs, but all include a free ‘chemistry’ call to set expectations and establish whether this is the right path for you.

"This is unlike any other leadership development program that I've completed. It isn't about plotting a course to be the next CEO or working out how to build a team, it is about understanding yourself - and how you are enough. With that realisation and a broad set of tools that you are given, you can start to unleash a new way of thinking and doing. If you're seeking a program that will give you the time and the means to make that change, this is the one for you"

"The journey was a wonderful collection of tools, wrapped up in memorable stories to bring them to life and make them practical and applicable. It's an experience that contributes to all aspects of your life. You get out of it what you put into it, perhaps even more so than any other leadership course I've been on."

"This journey has created the space for me to explore and think deeply about who I am. It's impact has been subtle as well as profound. I know there are moments, both in work and personal life, where I would have made different choices without this programme. I now have the tools to ground me, to help me get unhooked and ultimately feel enough."

"The Becoming Journey has been (and will continue to be) hugely impactful, insightful, interesting and inspiring in many, many ways. Each step of the journey has given me the structure to clarify my thoughts, put into context my behaviours, habits and assumptions about myself. I have already started using some of the tools, as I continue to reassess the assumptions and expectations that I put upon myself."

"The journey itself is quietly powerful. The aha-moments are deeply personal without feeling awkward. I discovered things about myself I didn't know before and revisited some old places that needed dusting off and healing. The calibre of women in the group is in itself an inspiration and yet we're all humbly learning together."

"Be prepared to reflect, deeply and fearlessly! This isn't your usual leadership/management course, but if you are willing to take the plunge, it's definitely worth it."
