Join the Paddle NI Female Leadership Programme

by Lyn Sherriff • 6 February 2025

The #ShePaddles programme will be an empowering and transformative experience for female paddlers designed to enhance leadership skills, resilience, and ability to perform under pressure. Through a series of in-person and online sessions with leading performance consultants Jo Hopkins and Eliza Downey, you'll explore your leadership style, understand the impact of pressure on performance, and learn from various fields such as sport, the military, and the arts to drive individual and team performance. Additionally, hands-on paddling sessions led by Effie Ellis-O'Neill, an experienced Coach and Tutor of BCAB Qualifications, will help you develop and refine your skills on the water and guide you in your goal setting whilst building a community of female paddlers.
