The context
Dell had strong inclusion frameworks, and over 35% of its global workforce identifies as women. The next step was to move beyond representation to women leading with influence, translating global goals into leadership behaviour in the Benelux.
What we built
Leadership capability
The Female Leadership Transformation Programme, co-created with Dell and rooted in neuroscience, behavioural psychology and experiential learning:
- Emotional intelligence and empathy training
- Resilience and confidence coaching
- Inclusive leadership workshops
- Allyship and sponsorship, involving managers and male allies
- Action-based projects on real business challenges
How we did it
We blended evidence-based learning, experiential workshops and coaching into one immersive journey. Involving managers and allies took the change beyond a gender programme and into the wider culture.

In their words
“This program changed how our leaders show up, not just for women, but for everyone. Inclusion is less about targets and more about trust.”
