Effective leadership begins from within.
Explore innate female leadership strengths suited for today’s complex, 21st Century work environment. Revised to incorporate immerging shifts in the work environment, their dynamics, and potential for impact at work. Building on your experiences and leadership structure, we will explore generational nuances and gendered solutions.
In this intensive program, you’ll look at research-based as well as field-tested approaches to women’s leadership and discuss women’s strengths and how they align with your organization’s model for leadership. You’ll focus on “self” as the primary instrument of leadership effectiveness and look at how problems are defined, issues are resolved, and how your strengths can engage others strategically. Together with other women, you will:
- Identify individual strengths you can apply to your work and life
- Explore unique female attributes key to leading constructively in an increasingly complex world
- Discover beliefs that limit your future
- Practice ways to renew your energy and sustain focus on a daily basis.
By adding women’s ways of leading to men’s, an entirely new paradigm can be created, one that holds the promise of creating wholeness and balance for communities, families, and organizations struggling to adapt to today’s challenges of change.
During this retreat tailored for women, you will:
- Identify individual strengths you can count on and apply to your work and life.
- Explore female leadership attributes that complement, rather than compete with, male leadership attributes.
- Discover beliefs that are limiting your future and release them.
- Practice ways to renew energy and sustain engagement on a daily basis.
Outcomes you will leave with include:
- Insights and strategies for leading from grounded strength to create powerful results in your career and in significant relationships.
- Ways to integrate multiple demands on your time in ways that encourage balance, meaning and purpose in your professional and personal life.
- Clarity and confidence dealing with complex responses to your leadership.
You will discover that Lead Like A Woman:
- Means doing something different, not the same thing better
- Means seeking connection as the basis for collaboration and as a way to build teams
- Means understanding the need to build trust to accomplish complex tasks
- Means knowing the wisdom of gaining buy-in to achieve sustainable results
- Means feeling alone when you step out to lead
- Means having your leadership strengths minimized, even by yourself
- Means dealing with complex responses to your leadership from others.
