Well, now the New Horizons Programme lead by RNIB, Guide Dogs and Thomas Pocklington Trust in collaboration with Hult Ashridge Executive Education, a provider of leadership and organisational development solutions will help to empower blind and partially sighted leaders with the skills and confidence to accelerate their careers and create a more diverse and inclusive leadership landscape.
