This program is a response to the growing complexity and challenges surrounding women’s advancement into senior leadership positions. The internal and external barriers that women have to navigate are coming at a great cost. Tackling this pervasive issue requires a deeper and more novel approach.

A Creative Collaborative Leadership Journey for Women

“A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.”
– Melinda Gates

The Women’s Leadership Circles Alumni (WLCA) program supports women in accessing dormant inner resources, the resources that lie beneath conditioned habitual personality/ ego patterns, to get to their deeper strengths. It employs a variety of innovative methodologies conducive to women’s ways of knowing, learning and being. Given participants’ previous experience with the WLC methodologies, we are able to drop in faster and deeper into continuing our transformative journey. We build upon learnings in the original program by reinforcing the muscles built there while introducing new practices and concepts to elicit our most authentic and best selves.

Participants will build on their work with the Enneagram, from the first WLC program, continuing to gain insights to guide them toward a more integrated life. This will be done through immersive experiences at creative meeting locations to evoke the aesthetic sensibilities. The program will end with a day-long session where participants will create a Leadership Soul Collage as a culmination of their work in the WLCA program.

Working together as a cohort group for an extended time enables participants to imagine new possibilities for how to show up as leaders. Through the support of the group, 1:1 coaching, small peer group meetings, social activism projects and a unique program design, participants discover new ways of engaging in wholehearted leadership to transform both their personal work experience and the contribution they make to their organizations.
