What women bring to Organization

Diversity:

A diverse workforce is an innovative workforce

Women excel at the soft skills needed for business leadership & have the characteristics needed in leadership

Women represent huge economic power & offer important consumer insight

Easier to attract & retain talent

What can organisations do to build women leadership, develop their strong brand as a leader and support high-potential women leaders to be mentors and coaches to create a strong female pipeline?

The ICS way forward

The League of Extraordinary Women Leaders (LEWL) is a program designed to meet these exact needs with support of our certified coaches and facilitators.

LEWL develops and builds strong women leaders by helping them:

  • Take a deep dive into their personalities to identify leadership qualities – those that strengthen them and those that hold them back

 

  • Create their unique leadership style and brand

 

  • Understand and apply communication models to influence without authority and with positive impact

 

  • Experience the power of leading with emotional intelligence to support and build individuals, teams and communities

 

  • Learn to mentor and coach other women and build a support community for women leaders within the organisation that will:
1. Focus on their needs and desired outcomes
2. Be a safe/sacred place to share challenges and nurture positive intention

Companies should look at gender balance as a bottom-line issue, not just a human resource issue.
