Women at Work - In-house Program
Many companies are working hard to address the gender imbalance. They are focusing on diversity and inclusion. They are introducing flexible workplace opportunities and ensuring pay transparency; but this alone is not enough.
There are many reasons that women are under-represented in the senior ranks – company culture, flexible work practices, family/career responsibilities, limited opportunity, glass ceilings, and much more. This program is not an attempt to address all of these issues; but rather, this program aims to give women the confidence and tools to step forward sooner, to contribute their value more confidently, and to deliver the value that comes from visible contribution, beyond any mandated targets or quotas.
THE PROGRAM AIMS TO:
Strengthen the talent pipeline with women ready for senior leadership roles
Provide women with the confidence and strategies to step forward for the senior roles
Improve business results by leveraging the full capability available from a diverse work force
Reduce ‘quota appointments’ for women who are not ready or supported to succeed
Assist women to embed new behaviours that advance professional visibility and potential
The program offers the following elements:
Explore personal and positional power and how that impacts confidence, visibility and results
Learn the communication habits that kill leadership credibility
Apply key behaviours to be heard, be seen and to make an impact in meetings and presentations
Learn how to identify and uphold boundaries through hard conversations
Develop strategies for support through sponsorship and mentoring
Appreciate the power of networks for career mobility
Women need to see future leadership roles as attractive and viable options for them; AND they also need to take action to step into these roles to build their leadership brand. Leadership visibility comes from a combination of having the confidence to step in, the credibility to speak up and the clout to be taken seriously and stand out. This is how women can contribute their true potential and build influence, engagement and impact as a result.

Tips on How to Support Women in your Organisation
(For corporate businesses)
This paper explores the 5 invisible forces that shape women in leadership:
The system is stuck: Bias, babies and boys' club
Social backlash and double-binds: Women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t
Waiting for permission, perfection and a tap on the shoulder
Women against women: The enemy within
Men don’t feel the effects: How power affects interpretation
“Powerful! This white paper is tapping into a dawning reality. It’s ahead of the game. Thought leading!”
What the participants will experience…
STEP IN. SPEAK UP. STAND OUT.
Not applying for roles until you’re till 100% ready?
Wondering how to better manage your professional impact?
Not sure your communication is leaving the right impression?
Are you ready to enhance your leadership brand?
When navigating our careers, women often wait until they are 100% ready before stepping forward for opportunities. Sometimes we work hard as the ‘good girl’ or the ‘quiet achiever’ relying on our capability alone to propel our careers; sometimes we push assertively and get labelled as ‘aggressive’ for our efforts. Other times we know we are capable and confident but find ourselves overlooked.
What’s going on? How do we change this picture?
Being great at your job is not always enough to move your career forward. Current research shows that women still face greater barriers to advancement and a harder path to senior leadership, but it doesn't have to be this way. With access to the unwritten rules of a male dominated environment, we can strategically manage our careers and leadership brands in a way that works for us.
This is not about turning into someone you’re not; it’s about simple yet powerful techniques for navigating your career, finding your voice and taking your place at the table.
Women at Work is a program to give women the confidence, communication strategies and cultural insight to actively manage their leadership careers.
It’s about building presence, improving visibility and strategically managing the right professional impact.
In the program we will:
Understand the impact of confidence on risk taking, self-promotion, reputation and results
Explore personal and positional power and how that impacts confidence, visibility and results
Learn the communication habits that kill leadership credibility
Apply key behaviours to be heard, seen and to make an impact in meetings and presentations
Foster new networks with like-minded women
Develop strategies for support through sponsorship and mentoring

“I am able to compose myself in a way that I would not normally have been able to, in terms of rushed speaking, or flustered speech, and in terms of what I need to get across. I’ve been able to control that better in the last few weeks and been able to get better results in terms of feedback from the group. They have a clearer idea of their expected action items. - Dalia”
