Your Company Has a Budget for This. Most Women Never Use It.
Leadership development funding exists in almost every organisation. Men request it more often than women do. Here is everything you need to get your Thrive Forward program approved, paid for by your employer.
You have a professional development budget. You have probably watched colleagues use theirs for conferences, courses, and executive coaching while you told yourself you would ask "when things calm down."
​
Things are not going to calm down. That is exactly why this program exists.
​
The Thrive Forward Leadership Program develops the two capabilities your organisation needs most from you right now: sustainable leadership performance and AI era readiness. That makes it precisely the kind of investment development budgets were created for.
​
You do not have to figure out how to ask. I have done that part for you.
What's Inside the Funding Kit
01
The Manager Email Template. A ready to send request, written in the language that gets development spend approved. Edit two lines, hit send.
02
​The Employer One Pager. A professional program overview your manager can read in 90 seconds, or forward to HR and L&D with confidence.
03
The Approval Conversation Guide. The three questions managers ask before saying yes, and exactly how to answer each one.
Across more than two decades in senior corporate leadership, I have sat on both sides of the development budget conversation: requesting it, and approving it for my own teams. I built this kit around what actually gets a yes: clear business outcomes, a defined format, and a credible provider. All three are in here.
You advocate for your team's development every single day. This is you doing the same for yourself. You are allowed to ask.
