Clare Fazackerley of Anglia Ruskin’s Learning Development Services said: “The topic of the glass ceiling for women is back in the news again, with prominent female leaders including Ruth Lea, Harriet Harman and Heidi Mottram recently sharing their own experiences of rising to the top of their professions.

“Women are expected to balance family life with their professional one. This requires choices to be made and in some cases sacrifices, and therefore the time women spend on focusing on their own advancement and self-fulfilment can often be next to nothing.

“The Turning Tables programme has been developed to allow women to focus on their own coaching and development within a circle of like-minded professional women, with whom they can share experiences, challenges and solutions.”
