Want to help shape the Next Generation of Leaders?
Join us on a mission.
Who is this for?
Change agents, game changers, leaders…who want to change the status quo. Who want to help close the Gender Gap sooner than in 5 generations.
Parents, schools, educators, governments, businesses, entrepreneurs, leaders from all walks of life…we need you.
We are on a quest to make our Leadhership curriculum available in all secondary schools, globally.
We started with a pilot it in one school in Jersey training 840 teenage girls. The impact has been phenomenal, so we are on a mission to roll it out to more schools in Jersey, the UK and beyond.
We are looking for schools, sponsors, mentors, female role models to help redefining Leadership in a broader, more inclusive way, so more girls opt in to Leadership: identify as leaders and take on leadership roles.
Why?
Because 39% of girls opt out of Leadership during adolescence (boys don’t). And if we are to close the Gender Gap or have any chance to build a fairer society, we need to tackle the issue at the source. Not just when women are in the workplace. Else, we have a leaky bucket syndrome.
Paris was not built in a day and we know it take a village to raise a child. So, the more people join in, the bigger the impact. You can play a role at any age, from anywhere. See our Venn diagram below for ideas on what you can do starting today!
Thank you to our Sponsors who made it possible to pilot this programme at JCG to 840 girls Year 7 to Year 13.
Feedback from the first school, where the programme has been piloted:
“This is truly outstanding and compelling. It is clear that the workshops and material are working. This programme has “award winning” all over it” Carl, Principal JCG
“I just wanted to thank you so much for your excellent delivery and bespoke programme. SUPER STAR BRILLIANCE. Gaëlle is the person you want on your team. She is the real deal and is all about action. Gaëlle uses her experience, skills, and platform to give back, creating positive impact.
Her delivery of the Female Leadership course for our students has been exemplary.
From the design and crafting of bespoke content and sessions to meet specific age groups, to her authentic and expert delivery and presentation, Gaëlle consistently demonstrates flair, knowledge, research backed evidence, enthusiasm, and a deep understanding of the issues affecting women and girls in society. Gaëlle’s pioneering approach to educating on female leadership has already transformed students’ perception of leadership and highlighted to students that leaders come in all forms, and anyone can be a leader. This has resulted in a 100 percent increase in students’ confidence levels and is transforming how they see themselves and their strengths, empowering students to believe and lean into leadership.’
Danielle, Head of PSHE at JCG
EXPANSION PLANS
After a successful pilot running the Art of LeadHERship programme with 840 girls at Jersey College for Girls (JCG) delivered in partnership with KPMG and UBS, the results have been nothing short of transformational. The programme sparked confidence, self-awareness, and leadership capability in hundreds of young women. The success has ignited a clear mission: to scale this movement and shape the next generation of leaders across Jersey, the Channel Islands and later across the UK and beyond.
The Vision for Expansion
- LeadHERship 2.0 launches this year at JCG with current sponsors on board.
- 2025/26:Rolling out to more schools in Jersey.
- By 2026/27: Making the programme accessible across all secondary schools in Jersey to be the First country to have a Female Leadership programme for all students.
- Fall 2026: Develop and test a TM-protected Leadership Psychometric Assessment– designed specifically for Next Gen aged 11-18 (like StrengthsFinder and Myers-Briggs).
- Creating a mobile app and web platform for students, schools, and parents to access the curriculum, the assessment, insights, results, and tailored daily leadership action plans.

Our fundraising efforts topped the chart in the 10 years of running the Leadership Jersey conferences!
Gaëlle spoke on how to shape the next Gen of Female Leaders and shared 7 key big ideas from “the Art of LeadHERship”, a unique and transformative programme she designed to equip teenage girls with the mindset and tools to be more confident, know their strengths, identify as a leader and aspire to take on leadership opportunities.
Gaëlle invited a panel of 4 inspiring women who shared their unique stories, wisdom and top tips for the Next Gen.
