Women Leading Change in Life, Work and World

Aspire exists for women who know they are here for more. More life. More impact. More change.

Founded 25 years ago by award winning coach Dr Sam Collins, we were the first organisation in the UK to specialise in coaching and leadership development for women.

Whether you are rethinking your life, stepping into a new level of leadership, reinventing your career or wanting to make a bigger difference in the world, Aspire is a place to find clarity, courage and momentum. We help women lead change from within so they can create meaningful change in the world around them.

Pioneering the Future - A Leadership Retreat for Life, Work and World Change

FIRST EVER ASPIRE RETREAT - BRAND NEW AND NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE EXPERIENCE!

This is a professional and personal development retreat for women who are ready to create a new chapter, launch something extraordinary or lead bold change in the systems shaping their lives, careers, organisations and the world.

An opportunity to bring your most ambitious dreams, pioneering ideas and innovative actions into focus. This might mean reinventing your health, life, career or business, transforming corporate culture, technology, education, poverty, health, climate solutions or something else, equally important to you.

1 Million Change Leaders by 2030

The 1 Million Change Leaders by 2030 initiative is Aspire’s bold global movement to inspire, equip and mobilise one million women and male allies to lead positive change in their lives, organisations and communities with a commitment to advancing women’s leadership.

It is closely aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality and Empowering All Women and Girls, recognising that gender equality is not only a social and moral priority but a leadership imperative.

Change leadership is not about job titles; it is about mindset and action. Anyone committed to creating progress, fostering collaboration and navigating complexity with courage and clarity can become a change leader.

Live and online events that ignite, support and celebrate personal, organisational and social change. Our events bring women together to change their own lives and the world around them.

Aspire scholarships offer no cost places at our events for people from charities, not-for-profits, NGOs and social enterprises who are working on solving the world’s most pressing problems.

We provide you with the space, time, tools and network to advance your work, stretch your thinking and inspire you to keep going.
