","description":"Most organisations have someone like this: the one with the best idea in the room who opens with \"this is probably a silly idea, but...\". The one who absorbs the invisible admin nobody assigned her, says yes to every stretch project, and is somehow still not the name that comes up when succession planning starts. We call the pattern behind this Good Girl Conditioning, and it's costing organisations real capability, innovation and retention, not just morale.\n\nMost approaches to this pick a side: put her through a confidence workshop, or rewrite the policy and leave her exactly as conditioned as before. Neither works alone. We work on both. Individual work helps her recognise that the caution, the over-preparing, the reflex to say yes, was trained into her and isn't a fixed trait - so she can access the judgement and capability that were there all along. Organisational work changes the systems, managers, and reward structures that keep reinforcing the same conditioning, so that when she does speak up or ask for the role, the room rewards it instead of quietly labelling her \"difficult.\"\n\nLed by Michelle Minnikin, a Chartered Organisational Psychologist and author of Good Girl Deprogramming, and James Eves, a Gallup-certified Strengths Coach, our approach is grounded in organisational psychology and evidence, not generic leadership training.\n\nOur flagship programme, Rise Above, is a 12-month hybrid leadership cohort combining facilitated group sessions, monthly workshops, peer \"power circles,\" one-to-one coaching and in-person intensives - alongside organisational culture and executive sponsorship work, so the change holds on both sides. We also offer one-to-one executive coaching and in-person leadership retreats.\n\nThe result: organisations that stop losing their best women to burnout or slow progression, and start converting the capability, judgement and revenue-generating potential that's already in the building.","specialism":"Leadership development for women","categories":[{"slug":"coaching-mentoring","name":"Coaching & Mentoring","primary":true,"offers":["coaching"],"distinguishes_training_and_coaching":false,"sub_categories":[{"slug":"career-coaching","name":"Career coaching"},{"slug":"group-peer-mentoring","name":"Group and peer mentoring"},{"slug":"assertiveness-coaching","name":"Assertiveness coaching"}]},{"slug":"leadership-management","name":"Leadership & Management","primary":false,"offers":["coaching"],"distinguishes_training_and_coaching":true,"sub_categories":[{"slug":"change-transformation","name":"Change and transformation"},{"slug":"difficult-conversations","name":"Difficult conversations"},{"slug":"middle-management","name":"Middle management"},{"slug":"senior-leadership","name":"Senior leadership"}]},{"slug":"away-days-team-building","name":"Away Days & Team Building","primary":false,"offers":[],"distinguishes_training_and_coaching":false,"sub_categories":[{"slug":"off-sites-residentials","name":"Off-sites and residentials"},{"slug":"away-days","name":"Away days"}]}],"based_in":{"town":"Durham","county":"County Durham","region":"North East","country":"United Kingdom"},"coverage":{"nationwide":true,"regions":[],"towns":[]},"formats":["In-person","Onsite","E-learning","Online","Bespoke"],"funding":[],"accreditations":["Associate Fellow of The British Psychological Society","Chartered Psychologist","Certified Business Psychologist at The Association for Business Psychology"],"pricing":"Workshops from £2000, full programmes from £9000 per person","courses":[{"title":"Rise Above","description":"Rise Above is a 12-month hybrid leadership programme, combining facilitated coaching, workshops and in-person intensives with organisational culture work, that helps companies develop and retain the high-performing women already in their business.","formats":["In-person","Onsite","E-learning","Online","Bespoke"]},{"title":"Understanding Gendered Workplace Expectations","description":"Understanding Gendered Workplace Expectations is a workshop that helps leaders and teams spot the unwritten rules - who's expected to take the notes, stay agreeable, or wait to be asked - that quietly decide who gets seen as leadership material, and what to change so they stop costing you your best people.","formats":["In-person","Onsite","E-learning","Online","Bespoke"]},{"title":"Introduction to Good Girl Deprogramming @ Work","description":"Introduction to Good Girl Deprogramming @ Work is a foundational session that names the pattern behind imposter syndrome, the confidence gap and the \"likeability penalty\" - showing teams why it's trained behaviour, not a personality trait, and why it's costing your business capability, innovation and retention.","formats":["In-person","Onsite","E-learning","Online","Bespoke"]}],"website":"https://www.deprogramming.company/","socials":{"linkedin":"https://www.linkedin.com/company/thedeprogrammingcompany"},"video":null,"logo":"https://leahwxgrfrpnxzgyivxa.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/listing-images/logo-0de00bb6-7d85-4701-9d55-509847c84fcc-1786879517272.webp","contact":"The trainer's email and phone are on their listing page, linked in this record, and buyers contact them directly.
