Are you working alone?

One thing many women leaders don’t talk about openly is how isolating leadership can be.

Not because you lack people around you,

but because of where you sit.

You might be:

- the only woman at the table,

- the most senior leader in the room,

- the only one holding responsibility for a complex priority,

- or leading your own business, with no peers to think alongside.

From the outside, you look confident and capable.

From the inside, it can feel lonely.

You’re expected to have answers.

To be resilient.

To hold it together.

And there often isn’t a safe, equal space to say,

“I’m not quite sure what comes next.”

That’s one of the reasons I created Reflect, Reset, Realign: A Clarity Day for Women Leaders on March 18th at Dartington Hall.

This day isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about finding each other.

It brings together women who are leading alone in different contexts, schools, public services, corporate roles, charities, and their own businesses, but who share a common experience.

The weight of responsibility.

The quiet isolation.

The need for perspective, not performance.

At Dartington, you’ll step into a room where you don’t have to explain yourself.

Where you’re not “the only one”.

Where your challenges are recognised, not minimised.

Alongside reflection and clarity, there is connection.

Honest conversation.

A sense of belonging that many women leaders don’t realise how much they’ve been missing.

Leadership doesn’t have to be lonely.

But it often is, until you find the right people.

If you’ve been carrying a lot on your own, this day is for you.
