Bootcamp Overview
This Skills Bootcamp is designed to strengthen the capabilities, confidence, and career readiness of aspiring team leaders.
Learners will build confidence in managing themselves and their teams – mastering communication, motivation, critical thinking, conflict resolution, and performance management, while developing the resilience and agility needed to thrive as future leaders.
Learning Journey
This bootcamp is structured around a series of remote workshops and one-to-one coaching sessions, supported by post-work reflections and knowledge activities.
The early workshops focus on personal development, including understanding the importance of continuous learning, identifying development needs, and creating a Personal Development Plan. Learners then move on to topics such as effective communication, teamwork, and leadership, where they explore how to adapt their communication style, collaborate with others, and lead teams to achieve business objectives.
Later sessions cover conflict management and project management essentials, giving learners practical tools to resolve workplace challenges and manage small-scale projects confidently. Each stage includes post-workshop activities to reinforce learning and one-to-one coaching to review progress, provide feedback, and update the PDP.
By the end of the programme, learners will have developed stronger professional behaviours, improved their confidence in managing people and projects, and created a clear plan for their ongoing personal and professional growth.

Bootcamp Overview
This Skills Bootcamp is designed to support women working in the hospitality and care industry to build confidence, leadership skills, and career readiness.
Participants will learn how to communicate with impact, lead and motivate others, and manage workplace challenges effectively. The programme helps learners understand what authentic leadership means, recognise their personal strengths, and create a clear plan for their ongoing career development
Learning Journey
This bootcamp combines a series of online workshops with one-to-one coaching and reflective post-work activities, helping learners grow both personally and professionally while developing their leadership potential.
The programme begins with Personal Development – A Journey of Self-Discovery, where learners explore the challenges women face in leadership, such as the “glass ceiling,” and develop greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence. They also learn how to create a Personal Development Plan to guide their growth throughout the course.
In Effective Communication – The Power of Voice, participants learn to use communication to assert themselves as confident female leaders, adapt their style to different audiences, and apply active listening to build stronger relationships across hospitality environments.
The next stage, Relationship Building, focuses on teamwork, networking, and promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. Learners explore how professional behaviour and collaboration can enhance both personal success and customer satisfaction.
In Impact & Influence, participants develop their leadership approach — learning how to plan work, set goals, and motivate teams while using their individual strengths to inspire others. This is followed by Championing Others and Resolving Conflict, which covers empathy-led conflict resolution, understanding bias, and supporting positive workplace culture.
The programme concludes with Project Management Essentials, giving learners the tools to write business cases, manage small projects, and present their ideas with confidence. Each stage is supported by post-work reflections, knowledge questions, and coaching sessions focused on applying learning, developing professional behaviours, and tracking progress through the PDP.
By the end of the programme, learners will have enhanced their leadership skills, improved their communication and confidence, and developed practical strategies to progress within the hospitality and care industry.
