“ Pauline’s
like sunshine – her personality and drive fill
the room, and it’s impossible not to get
caught up in her enthusiasm. Her knowledge, abundant
way
of thinking and generous leadership approach mean
that she is one of my most valued and respected
business associates.”
Since joining IDH in 2002, Pauline’s primary goal has been to help
women develop to their full potential, and to become confident and competent
leaders. She has introduced two training programmes “Women in Leadership – the
Confident Leader” and “Walking With Wolves”, both of
which have received widespread praise from delegates.
In recent months Pauline has
become the UK Ambassador for the De
Bono Foundation UK and has recently become a Certified Instructor
for The 6 Thinking Hats.
September 2008 will also
see Pauline wearing two more ‘hats’ and
taking on the position of Chairman of Friends
of Bedford Hospital and President of Bedfordshire
Business Women.

“ It is
difficult to say with certainty what a world
truly based on gender equality would look like,
since we are still so far from achieving it.
Experience over the past decades has certainly
produced evidence that a more gender-equal world
would be a better world. The [UN] Secretary General
Kofi Annan once said that there was no development
tool more effective than the empowerment of women.” |

new ideas and a fresh view on how to tackle potential
obstacles. Gaining an ILM Level 5 award gave
even more credibility to what is an outstanding
development programme.”
"You
can achieve your goals.
You can be whatever you want to be.
Believe in yourself and, instead of asking “why”, ask “why
not?”

“ Just
wanted to say thank for arranging the Skills
for Life course yesterday and Hugh for presenting
it. It was really useful to get a few of
the NCT (National Childbirth Trust) members
together to consider how we can improve our
communication and fundraising techniques
and also given me a kick-start in my own
personal development plans.

Thank
you for organising the Skills
for Life course, it was well
structured and beneficial
to the work I do. I learnt
a lot about communication
and how to look at different
situations in life. It goes
without saying that the course
was good fun and we were
well looked after, please
pass on my thanks to Hugh."
