Tom Ilube CBE
CHAIR OF THE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION & CEO, CROSSWORD CYBERSECURITY PLC
Alumnus of Senior Leaders Programme, November 2018
I can say with confidence that experiencing Windsor Leadership’s programme set me on the path to becoming Chair of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and the first Black Chair of a major national sports governing body in the UK.
Louise Donaghey
GLOBAL HEAD OF CUSTOMER SERVICE (DEFENCE), ROLLS ROYCE PLC
Alumna of Women In Leadership, September 2013
The imposter syndrome had been a real challenge for me, but I now have a greater confidence born from the realisation that expressing a different viewpoint is actually a strength, and diversity of thought is actually appreciated by our leadership.
Simon Blake OBE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID ENGLAND
Double Alumnus of Windsor Leadership, April 2007 and February 2011
Many of the learnings from my first programme 11 years ago have stayed with me and one of the most powerful was the need to develop a strong leadership antenna to be able to distinguish the ‘noise’ from the important issues that needed addressing.
Mike McGrath
VOLUNTARY INCOME DIRECTOR, NSPCC
Triple Alumnus of Windsor Leadership
Windsor Leadership’s programmes have acted as a real springboard at several points in my career. The reason I've come back three times is because I wanted to meet more people, hoover up more insights and be inspired, stretched and challenged further.
The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek
BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER
Triple Alumna – September 2005, February 2008 and November 2016
Windsor allowed safe space for people to talk about significantly different perspectives with passion, often challenging and not agreeing, but respecting other viewpoints and sharing with integrity.
