New blog shares how the Housing LIN Future Leaders Programme helped redefine leadership and belonging

In this new Housing LIN guest blog, Phoebe Newton, Customer Voice & Engagement Officer at Sovereign Network Group, shares how the Housing LIN Future Leaders Programme transformed her understanding of leadership, confidence and belonging.

Reflecting on balancing family life, career ambitions and imposter syndrome, Phoebe explains how the programme challenged traditional ideas of who gets to lead and why. From speaking at Appleby Blue Almshouse to connecting with peers across the housing sector, she describes gaining confidence in her own voice and influence.

Her inspiring reflections are part of a wider series from Housing LIN’s fifth Future Leaders cohort today.
