Women Empowerment and Leadership

Leadership built on strengths, not fixed weaknesses — performance leadership, conflict management and the confidence to claim the career the research says women are denied.

The programme

Gallup’s international studies point to a specific pattern limiting women’s career progression: development that focuses on fixing weaknesses instead of building on strengths. This workshop is designed around the areas women report finding most challenging — and which are key requirements for success in the 21st century. The cohort works through achieving success in business — overcoming negative perceptions and self-doubt, and setting a leadership journey with focus and determination; leading and motivating a team to maximum performance across meetings, teams and projects; and effective conflict management — the capability to deal with adverse conversations, reverse them, and come out on top with confidence and grace.

What you will do

Build on strengths rather than fixing weaknesses — the development pattern Gallup finds limits women’s progression.
Dismantle negative perceptions and self-doubt, and set your leadership journey with focus and determination.
Lead and motivate a team to maximum performance, the most important skill any leader carries.
Run meetings, teams and projects with sharpened performance management skills, whatever your level of business.
Reverse adverse conversations through effective conflict management, coming out on top with confidence and grace.

Who attends

  • Senior leaders across departments and industries
  • Business owners who must be at the top of their game at all times
  • Middle-management professionals with their eye on the top job
  • Directors, managers, team leaders and HR professionals

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

What research underpins the women empowerment and leadership workshop?

Gallup’s international studies point to a specific pattern limiting women’s career progression: development that focuses on fixing weaknesses instead of building on strengths. The workshop is designed around that finding — and around the areas women report finding most challenging, which are key requirements for success in the 21st century.

What leadership capabilities does the workshop build?

Three strands: achieving success in business — overcoming negative perceptions and self-doubt and setting a leadership journey with focus and determination; leading and motivating a team to maximum performance across meetings, teams and projects; and effective conflict management — dealing with adverse conversations, reversing them, and coming out on top with confidence and grace.

Who should attend, and can it run in-house for our organisation?

Senior leaders across departments and industries, business owners, middle-management professionals with their eye on the top job, and directors, managers, team leaders and HR professionals. BIZENIUS delivers the workshop in English and French, with in-house editions tailored to your organisation; sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations on enquiry.
