Our Programs
The Emergence program is for entry-level program for women with 5 - 10 years of work experience or a limited understanding of how systemic inequities at work affect them. The program focuses on helping women become aware of the systemic inequities at work and how they affect their career growth. By having a deeper understanding of how leadership development is thwarted by these systemic inequities, they will be ahead of the curve and will be able to successfully navigate workplace politics. The program will offer women resources and toolkits to develop their confidence levels, identify when they are facing systemic biases and how to deal with them, understand their emotions and use them as data to develop their leadership skills and learn how to use their personal power to advocate for themselves and their career growth.
The six-week program will provide women with tools and resources to create their leadership map. Weekly readings and journal prompts will enhance this leadership map and make it a living document that they can refer to as they grow in their leadership. This program is perfect for you if you are just dipping your toes in concepts such as bias, white supremacy, imposter syndrome, race, gender, patriarchy, and trying to understand how all this affects you and the women around you.

The Foundation program is our intermediate program and for women with 10+ years of work experience with some understanding of systemic inequities at work, lived experience with biases and challenges that have prevented their leadership growth, and a hunger for change so they can advance in their careers. The program offers an opportunity for women to hear from their cohort peers about their lived experiences and the strategies they have used to navigate systemic inequities at work. The program will help women address the notion of imposter syndrome and develop self-confidence, provide tools and strategies to deepen their emotional IQ, reflection prompts to engage in critical thinking, and frameworks to develop their inclusive leadership practice.
The six-week program will push women out of their comfort zones by asking them to share their best practices, sit in discomfort as they hear opposing views, and develop their leadership practices. At the end of the six weeks, women will leave with a set of self-authored leadership practices that will help them grow and advance in their careers.
This program is perfect for you if you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of concepts such as bias, imposter syndrome, communication skills, strategic communication, and inclusive leadership and how they affect you and other women around you.

FOUNDATION
Women In Power: Elevation is best suited for women with at least 10 years of work experience and a desire to change their notions and stories - first about themselves, second about the ecosystem they operate in, and third about the world they live, work, and play in. Over six months, through a series of biweekly sessions, we host a group of 8-10 women to do a deep dive into inner work. We will focus on developing strategic communication skills, learning the use of personal power to advocate for self and others, understanding emotions and related reactions, and strengthening inclusive leadership practices leading to sponsorship, mentorship, and allyship. The program will share tools, frameworks, and strategies to help you address the status quo in your leadership journey and at your workplaces.
In this self-authoring journey, we will use tools, resources, frameworks, and prompts for meaningful discourse, honest and challenging self-reflection, and factual story-sharing. We will use our lived experiences as starting points for engaging with each other; we will continue to expand our knowledge by active listening; and we will learn to keep judgment - whether towards ourselves or others - at bay. We will pay homage to our resiliency and strength as we continue deepening our understanding of self and how we engage with the systems that do not encourage or support our professional growth.
After each session, participants will practice the tools and resources that are shared with them to determine their effectiveness in their leadership journey. Participants will document their experiences and evolve the tools to be fully compatible for their use. At the end of six months, participants will have a set of tools that they have tried, tested, and changed to help them advance in their leadership. In addition, participants will map how their leadership has evolved in six months - areas of growth, areas of success, and areas of mastery.
Program Offered: March 7 - Sept 26
