Why This Coaching Community is For You
Are you feeling stalled, in need of a reset, or experiencing other challenges on your leadership journey? Are you ready to gain more motivation and confidence to articulate your unique leadership brand and elevate your leadership to the next level?
We warmly welcome leaders who identify as women, are in the middle or advanced-level of their careers, manage programs and teams, are in change-maker roles with change-maker goals, and work in the nonprofit, academic, and government sectors to join our leadership coaching community.
You will assess, explore, and hone your authentic, inclusive leadership skills, roles, and practices with your peers and skillful, experienced professional coaches in our caring, nurturing, and intimate, small-cohort coaching community.
Benefits for You and Your Organization
Having more women in leadership benefits organizations in many ways that can include improved innovation, collaboration, inclusion, representation, reputation, and financial performance. However, as women, we still face many barriers to thriving in the workplace and achieving our leadership goals and dreams, including inadequate mentorship and representative role models, outdated and inappropriate expectations, inflexible workplaces, biases, and systemic discrimination.
Research demonstrates that coaching can have a positive impact on women leaders and our organizations. Coaching can help women increase our self-awareness, confidence, belief in our legitimacy, motivation, self-defined success, satisfaction, wealth, well-being, and other goals. Facilitated coaching in a nurturing, small-cohort environment creates a vibrant collective intelligence and a peer learning, support, and accountability community that will endure long after this series ends. More confident and competent leaders are better able to advocate for themselves, their teams, other leaders, and their organizations. All of these translate into benefits for the organizations in which women are leading.
Individual Coaching Sessions
Each community member will participate in two, one-hour individual coaching sessions in between the first and second sessions and the fourth and fifth sessions. All sessions will be held on Zoom.
