Testimonial: Meath native Gemma Tighe, a previous participant of the programme recommends that women who are looking to develop their confidence and self-belief should consider taking part in the programme. Speaking at the launch of the Women in Leadership course, Gemma says “the course is very informative. I had been at home raising kids for a long time before I got involved in community coaching. The Women in Sport Leadership course just gave me more self-believe to feel more confidence in myself to take on new roles. My advice would be – 100% to do it.”
