Our Personal Excellence Programme (PEP) events and workshops will support your ambitions and develop your skills.
Tailored for WIBF members across all career stages, PEP supports women in building confidence, clarity, and leadership presence, with or without a formal title.
PEP offers a series of development-focused events across four core themes:
People Management
Career Development
Conflict Management
Personal Brand & Networking
We also run sessions on wellbeing and health – always shaped with our members in mind and grounded in the realities of working in financial services. Many of our speakers come from the industry themselves, bringing lived experience and an understanding of the unique challenges women face in this sector.
Most sessions take place online during lunchtime, and are recorded so members can catch up or revisit content at their convenience.
The sessions are interactive, offering practical tips, actionable advice and resources that participants can apply directly to their careers. Whether you're navigating a challenge, exploring a new direction, or looking to build core leadership skills, PEP provides tools you can use immediately - all within a supportive, like-minded community.
Why it matters
WIBF understands that career progression isn’t just about technical ability. It’s about confidence, visibility, resilience – and the courage to lead, speak up, and support others.
The Personal Excellence Programme empowers women to take their next step with purpose – and plays a vital role in building a gender-balanced talent pipeline for financial services.
