solo expedition
not your average leadership programme
In fact, it isn’t a programme at all
A Solo Expedition is an immersive online experience designed to challenge the way you think about leading. But why be different? We believe that programmes and courses too often offer a single answer applicable to all. Our expeditions are exploratory, bold, brave, curious, personal, exciting and give the space to discover something new.
And... It is completely free.
So what’s the catch?
None! You must be:
Open to learning
Leading in your sphere of life
Curious to explore
Willing to devote time to finish this journey in 3 months
Testimonial from Nigeria Expedition Explorer
“My experience with the Women Emerging Expedition has been a game-changer. I've gained valuable insights, formed lasting connections, and discovered a new sense of purpose. I encourage everyone to take the bold step and join an Expedition, it will transform your life and leadership journey.”
What is a solo expedition?
We are delighted to introduce our first expedition designed specifically to support individual exploration: the Solo Expedition which combines our unique tried and tested Expedition Methodology with an easy to access and intuitive online platform.
The Solo Expedition is an online expedition available and accessible to women across the world at no cost. As an explorer you will have access to your own personal expedition platform inclusive of the unique expedition map that guides your learning, audio-visual content and milestones which you can complete at your own pace, over the course of 3 months and will guide you to define your own personal approach to leading.
This isn’t a ‘course’ - it’s a space for you to discover, explore, and redefine leading with support and guidance from the Women Emerging map and thoughtfully created digital resources ranging from blogs and podcasts to audio slices. By starting the Expedition, you become part of the Women Emerging community – a community like nothing you have ever experienced before; it’s a movement of women leading across the world, women from different geographies, generations, sectors, specialisms, backgrounds, beliefs, abilities and aspirations with one thing in common: a desire to explore, to share, and to reframe leading so that more women choose to lead.
Why us?
Across the world ‘status quo’ leadership is turning women away from leading, at a time when their knowledge, expertise and insights are needed more than ever. The work being done everywhere to produce systems change - so that the odds of women emerging and succeeding as leaders are not so heavily stacked against them - needs to be complemented with a steady supply of women choosing to lead. By changing the optics of what it means to be a leader, and the practicalities of how to lead, there is the potential to re-engage women the world over.
Julia Middleton founded Women Emerging in 2020. In 2022, she led an Expedition of 24 women to discover an approach to leading that resonates with women. They created the ‘map’ which is now used to guide all Expeditions. Julia is host of the Women Emerging podcast and best-selling author of If That's Leading, I'm In. She is truly a champion for leading across all backgrounds, and also authored Leading Beyond Authority and Cultural Intelligence.
Over the course of 4 years, Women Emerging has connected thousands of women across the world via an online community and podcast which have allowed women to share their knowledge and experience of leading.
“This expedition not only helped me to undersand myself better as a leader but also equipped me with the tools to step into my power with confidence and authenticity. I’m truly grateful for the experience.”
Pakistan Expedition Explorer
“This expedition reinforced the importance of being mindful of how our inner qualities—whether strengths or areas for growth—manifest in our leading. It is our responsibility to channel this essence positively, ensuring that our actions and decisions reflect our best selves.”
