1. Leadership identity work
2.Internal blockers
3.Personal brand as a leaderConsultancy
Getting to the root of the problem, this problem is more than lip service. There will be some soul searching discussions and reality checks as we establish exactly what the real problems are and where. We need to establish a corporate culture in which attractiveness increases but also makes it a great place to work.
Sorry, GOLD ONLYCommunity
A psychologically safe space for your top female talent to experiment, get feedback, improve and celebrate - no matter where they are in the world. Once we have finished working together this will be the hub of activity for all professional women in your organisation to support each other.
Sound familiar?
-
Women don't come back after maternity leave.
-
We would welcome more female leaders but not enough strong candidates apply.
-
Young mothers cannot be expected to take on leadership roles in a part time position.
-
We have some great women but they are not leadership material.
-
Women are always so paranoid that they are not taken seriously.
-
Women are over-sensitive.
Dealing with beliefs, assumptions and myths like this is a part of the ‘Senior Leadership and Board Member Consultancy & Training’ included because training in isolation is not enough.
This leadership package presents a unique opportunity for your top female talent to get up to date with the industry developments and connect with other manufacturing experts at the same time as improving and practicing their leadership skills and finding their leadership style and voice.
It is both a confidence and competence boost linked to your KPIs or OKRs.
Our TRAINING AND COACHING gives this corporate cohort of women in manufacturing the opportunity to talk openly and honestly about
- their career,
- the implications of industry trends on their production lines and
- how industry developments are changing the industry as a whole.
Manufacturing employers can expect ...
-
healthier leadership pipelines
-
stronger succession
-
far better retention
-
more visible female talent
-
and a more competitive culture.
This is much more than just MINDSET, it is about leadership capability, stronger employer reputation, and lower risk of stagnation as older leaders retire in droves. If attracting the right staff is a problem, supporting experienced, knowledgeable women already familiar with your processes and problems could be a short cut to more PRODUCTIVITY, INNOVATION and EXCELLENCE.
Why Focus on Women in Manufacturing?

Your host
I'm Corinne Wilhelm, a positive but practical L&D professional with 30 years of experience as a consultant, coach and trainer in male dominated industries (Reuters, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Arthur Andersen, HypoVereinsbank, Merita Bank, Heidenhain, Siemens Energy, Siemens, Deutsche Bundestag, Astra Zeneca, Wüstenrot…).
Manufacturing has been on my radar for 27 years now.
I love working with engineers with complex challenges in production.
Having grown up in a (bilingual) manufacturing family business I grew up with optimisation discussions for dessert. So as a persistent problem solver I got certified as an Enterprise Agility Consultant enabling me to work closer with clients in tech and engineering.
I'm obsessed about communication, connection and culture. Every conversation counts, I help people to be more intentional about what they say and how they say it for the sake of their credibility and career opportunities. Good for your company's reputation as an attractive employer too.
My dual nationality means that I can move freely within Europe without visas etc and speak both English and German fluently.

Testimonial
Corinne is an exceptional communication coach, both challenging and supportive in exactly the right measure. Her insights, tips and detailed feedback helped me refine how I speak, present and connect with my audience. Every session left me with something concrete to apply and a renewed sense of confidence. I'm deeply grateful for her patience and encouragement. I'd highly recommend Corinne to anyone looking to strengthen their communication impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I cannot find 10 women?
Really? With just one spot, once you have signed up you pay the full price whether you have 10 women or not, we can provide you with a free consultation as to how to fill these seats, we find pearls of talent in every organisation, just reach out for a free diversity consultation series once you have exhausted your options. (No later than 1. July 2026) We interview all of your proposed candidates and we can advise you. (In English or German).
How will I know if their English is good enough?
Don't worry, I will speak to every participant (I'm a native speaker) and if they just need a refresher I have a VoiceVantage Programme that your participants can have access to for ONE MONTH for free. (They're normally better in English than they(or you) realise, they just need practice and confidence - that's kind of my thing!
Will the participants need a visa to get into the UK?
Yes, (crazy Brits) but it is a very simple, affordable process which your travel department will be able to help you with.
Why is it only for women?
In my experience women open up more and gain more value from the leadership training when they are in a safe space of women only. Securing psychological safety at the beginning of a leadership training programme is faster and more effective when the women don't feel judged by male colleagues and bosses. We welcome male advocates or allies during the consultancy and leadership training phase for senior leaders and board members.
What is the application procedure?
-
We jump on a call with the decision makers to discuss your organisation's concerns, needs, problems and goals in terms of female empowerment. This is a bespoke solution for your company. We'll be measuring from Day 1 so be ready to provide us with data.

Less lip service more metrics. Just 1 spot. I'll answer all of your questions openly and honestly. We are on a mission to find a company that is 100% behind gender aware succession planning. If you need to improve your leadership pipeline, let's talk.
