About Us
We developed the Butterfly Programme following our research into the barriers faced by women entering management roles. We discovered that the barriers that seemed hardest to break down were those inside our own heads, regarding our perceptions of ourselves, others and the world in general.
We also discovered that women like to work together and be incredible role models for one another, drawing strength and inspiration from one another at home, work and play.
The Butterfly Programme was born...
Our aim is to continue to provide learning experiences for women, so they can challenge their own beliefs and make real and lasting change in their lives, make friends and have fun.
