We’re excited to announce that the EMPOWER Programme has officially launched! This is a new training program for information leaders everywhere, designed to help growth both personally and professionally.

What started in August 2025?

  • Our full EMPOWER Programme.
  • Our EMPOWER 21 group, a 21-day free trial of our EMPOWER Programme.

What happens on the EMPOWER Programme?

At the heart of the program is goal setting. We want to help information leaders turn big ideas into real results. EMPOWER Programme participants take a course on how to set goals and get special templates to help plan. They’re also asked to spend 2-4 hours a week on their goals. Every few months, they’ll use a scorecard to see how much they’ve improved. The program also includes a fun competition where they’ll present their work and get feedback.

What's happening in the first few weeks of the EMPOWER Programme?

The next few weeks are full of great learning opportunities for EMPOWER Programme participants. Here is a simple plan for what's coming up: 

Week 1: Getting Started

Participants begin with a live online meeting to meet everyone and learn how the program works. The most recent, held on August 6th, was a class with Jacqueline Stockwell on how to give a great presentation. During this time, participants also started their online course on goal setting and began preparing for our big competition coming up on September 2nd.

Week 2: Learning the Ropes

This week is all about improving skills. On August 12th, participants will join Sarah Weeks for a live Q&A session about mastering goal setting where they’ll be able to ask questions about their own goals. The next day, on August 13th, Andrea McIntosh will be teaching a live online class about how to write a strong business case to help reach your goals.

Week 3: Finding Your Rhythm

As the program continues, we’ll focus on being more efficient. On August 20th, Jacqueline Stockwell will have a live Q&A to answer participant questions. On August 21st, Sarah Weeks will teach a live online class on time management and goal setting.

Week 4: Final Preparations

The last week before the competition is for getting ready. On August 26th, Andrea McIntosh will be hosting a final Q&A session to make sure our participant’s business cases and presentations are perfect.
