Empowering Women to Lead
Women are globally underrepresented in leadership positions. Those who hold such positions face the unique challenges that come with working in historically male dominated arenas.
Our workshops are designed for women currently in leadership positions, as well as those aspiring to a leadership role. We empower women to step into leadership roles with:
- Strong self-awareness
- Appreciation of the value of female qualities in leadership
- The ability to cope with gender bias
- Skills to communicate with greater impact
- The confidence to become a powerful leader
We educate participants on the contradictions inherent in being a woman in a position of power and equip them with the tools they need to succeed despite these contradictions. Our interactive workshops center on the limiting stories we create for ourselves about what it means to be a woman and equip women with the self-awareness and skills that they need to re-author their leadership experience.
Recent research demonstrates that the future requires all leaders, male and female, to embrace the traits and values traditionally linked to women.

“We are 50% of the population. We are 5% of the Fortune 500 CEOs. We are 17% of the board seats. We are 19% in Congress. That’s not enough for 50% of the population. We live in a world that is overwhelmingly run and owned by men.”
