Leadership Training for Woman Leaders- Women Empowerment

Course overview

Fortune 500 CEO statistics show that only 15% of all Fortune 500 CEO’s are females. The trend is similar for companies outside the preview of Fortune 500. This is despite research telling us that female leadership is assertive, inclusive and empowering.

The gender disparity in management roles has been a hot topic for discussion since decades. Unfortunately, the global pandemic forced many women leaders to leave the workforce. Globally women are the primary caregivers to elderly and young children, which is a major contributor to women not joining the workforce inspite of topping the academic results, dropping out of jobs, not getting promoted as much as men and above all earning less than men for the same job.

This training is as much for women who leave the workforce, as it is for women who survive and thrive in the workforce. It is about instilling self-worthband empowering these women to take make audacious goals for themselves and achieve them, without compromising or feeling guilty about any choices that they make.

All of us are aware of the cultural biases and challenges imposed by the external environment since generations. However, many women themselves sabotage their careers. They do this by doubting their present abilities and future potential. Research tells us that a woman will usually refrain from applying for a job if she does not meet 100% of the requirement, on the other hand a man will apply for a job even if he meets only 50% of the job requirement. Even the most successful female leaders have publicly accepted to having self- doubt, low confidence and imposter syndrome at some stage in their career.

This training aims to take our organizations a few steps closer to a more diverse and inclusive work culture, by encouraging and empowering women to lead like women.
