"The support that I have received from my vocL mentor over the last 12 months has been invaluable. He played a pivotal role in refining my messaging, both for debating panels and in my communications with my team and clients. More broadly, he has helped me navigate our business through various challenges including improving our sustainability initiatives, implementing digital transformation and reaching our diversity and inclusion goals."

Since joining VocL, I have had the opportunity to speak on issues that I care about to titans of industry, influencing real, positive change. Learning from the plethora of top businesspeople that VocL have in their network has encouraged me to contribute more to the public discourse and also equipped me with the tools to do so via their Masterclass series.

However, vocL offers a unique opportunity to nurture leadership skills in a secure environment, enabling networking with peers and collaboration with established business figures to create content. This distinctive approach has the potential to revolutionise the development of confidence, expertise, and platforms for promoting responsible business voices that benefit all.
