Following the success of WSLA 2014, a second Women’s Sport Leadership Academy (WSLA) will take place from 22-26 June 2015 at the University of Chichester.

 In June 2014, 36 women from fourteen countries and every continent gathered for a residential programme of leadership development.

The delegates represented a wide range of groups, from national and international sport federations, Olympic and Paralympic Committees to sporting development and sport consultancy organisations.

WSLA 2015 aims to bring together forty outstanding women leaders, half from the UK and half from around the world, providing a unique learning environment that will support the women to further develop their leadership competencies.

The overall purpose of the WSLA is to increase the confidence and competence of women working in sport in a range of leadership behaviours and also to be a starting point for forming an international network of women sport leaders.

Key topics to be covered during the event are:

  • Ambitious strategic vision
  • Leadership
  • Performance management
  • Self-management
  • Communication, team and partnership working
