Our pragmatic, academic focus ensures practical offerings founded on the latest research and findings.
ASPIRE’s founder, Dr. Samantha Collins, brings an authentic, experiential- and research-based academic philosophy to all ASPIRE engagements, programs, services and offerings.
We are proud of our ability to be practical, flexible and grounded in the latest thinking, research and best practices related to gender diversity and inclusion and its societal and business effects.
Dr. Collins was awarded her Ph.D. on “The Future World of Work for Women Leaders in Banking and Professional Services in New York and London.” The goal of study was to break the logjam for women executives and create real change (or at least lead the way)—a goal for which she continues to work with ASPIRE.
aspire clients say...
"I attended a workshop for women’s development and my view of what Aspire did well was, within 7 hours max, to get a dozen women sharing their concerns, making friends, making promises, growing in confidence and all to make it a better world for themselves and (not surprisingly) for others. A great outcome for not a great cost."
Carol McCletchie OBE, HR Director, Cleveland Fire Brigade
