The Women's Leadership Intensive

The benefits of women in leadership have been researched and proven again and again. And yet, the numbers aren't moving forward, and even those organizations that recognize the opportunity or set gender equity goals often don't have a strategy for how to get there.

Women lead and collaborate differently. The world needs that now more than ever.  The WLI program is designed by women, for women to inspire, empower, equip and support you to:

Build Networks and Community
WLI will help you get to the table, build alliances with decision-makers and connect with others in order to have a greater impact.
Increase your Confidence
Many women under-assess their skills and competencies. WLI will help you inventory, sort and OWN your skills, experiences and abilities.  You will build the confidence you need to negotiate, lead authentically and find your voice.
Learn & Grow
You will share your own experiences, work through collaborative women’s leadership content and discover new ways of thinking and leading.
Have Impact 
Together, we can move the needle on women in leadership. The business case for diversity in leadership is clear. With benefits ranging from higher productivity and profitability, improved culture and safety, to greater innovation and higher quality decision-making, it is time for you to take a seat at the table and lead as YOU.

The investment an organization makes in your leadership will pay off well beyond your time in the program. By investing in women in leadership your organization will:

Operationalize Diversity

Diverse teams out-perform non-diverse ones. Including different viewpoints and experiences leads to more innovative, creative and inclusive solutions. By developing women leaders in your organization you’ll join the growing number of companies who recognize these benefits and are reaping the rewards in performance, culture and reputation.

Attract & Retain Critical Talent

Women represent a huge opportunity for talent development. With retirements, more women than men enrolling in college and university, and a generational shift in the workforce, attracting and retaining talent is more important than ever. Leadership development opportunities engage and retain your existing top female talent while demonstrating a commitment to the next generation that you’re an employer who aligns with their expectations for equity.

Support Sustainable Change

Women have unique leadership qualities essential to sustainable business success. Women leaders demonstrate long-term thinking, innovation, collaboration, transparency, stakeholder management, and inclusion. Through the Women’s Leadership Intensive we focus on developing women’s skills to coach and mentor other leaders to build your organization’s internal capacity.
