Womanship

The Business Case

Three quarters of women have had a worry on their mind in the past week.

Over 40% in the past 24 hours. The worries cover energy, confidence, health, hormones, life stage transitions, grief, burnout, and identity.

Only 29% feel they can be completely open about any of it — even with the people closest to them.

In your workplace, those women are sitting in meetings, managing teams, and delivering results. Quietly carrying what they can't say out loud.

That silence has a cost. In performance. In retention. In the gap between what your people are capable of and what they can sustain.

Generic treatment of all employees is not working. That's not our view — it's what your own employees tell us.

What we do

We create bespoke programmes, workshops, and events that meet your organisation where it is — and take it somewhere more honest.

Drawing on our network of verified health, wellbeing, and performance professionals, we design sessions that are evidence-based, human, and built around what your people are actually experiencing. We start from care, not crisis. From connection, not confrontation.

We work with women-only groups, mixed teams, leadership cohorts, and whole organisations. Every programme is tailored. Nothing is off the shelf.

And because we know that people don't always speak up in a room, we use anonymous live data collection to surface real insight — so the conversations that need to happen, happen.

CASE STUDY

DHB Bank Sustainable Performance - Energy, Confidence & Voice at Work

This women-only session brought together two specialists from the Womanship professional network to explore what's really happening beneath the surface for women at work.

We ran an anonymous survey before and during the session — so participants could share what they were really experiencing without needing to say it out loud. The insights surfaced things that a standard feedback form would never capture, and informed the session content in real time.

Womanship opened the conversation: energy management, confidence, and the internal experiences that quietly shape workplace behaviour — human and relatable, framed around shared realities rather than individual struggles.

Lauren Valbert of Training 2.0 went deeper: imposter patterns, masking, and confidence identity — practical and psychological, grounded in her own body of work.

The Results

73% of participants found the session valuable or very valuable.

84% believe conversations like this contribute to sustainable performance at DHB Bank.

58% said the session significantly or somewhat increased their awareness that other women are carrying similar pressures

Every attendee said the session had a positive impact on their understanding of energy, confidence, and performance at work.

And the message that came back most clearly from participants to their leadership team?

"Generic treatment of all employees is not working."

Why Womanship

We are not a training company. We are a movement with nearly 500 women's worth of research behind us, a verified professional network around us, and years of direct community work that tells us exactly what women are carrying — and what they need to feel safe enough to share it.

Our approach is non-clinical, non-confrontational, and consistently described as one of the most useful sessions people have attended. We handle sensitive topics safely. We make people feel less alone.

And we leave organisations with real insight, not just a slide deck.
