Women in Leadership
Reimagined​​
A Virtual Leadership Coaching Community for Mid and Advanced-Career Women Leaders
January-May 2025
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and achieving our leadership goals and dreams, including inadequate mentorship and representative role models, outdated and inappropriate expectations, inflexible workplaces, biases, and systemic discrimination.​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.
Leaders' Equity Collaborative Virtual Sessions
The Leaders’ Equity Collaborative creates a community of pro-equity leaders who come together to exchange information and ideas and co-develop and act on more effective strategies to overcome the opposition and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for a better world.
​If you are deeply concerned about the increasingly well-funded and organized opposition to DEI and their regressive campaign to take us backwards, and passionately committed to collective learning and action to advance equity in organizations, institutions, and communities, this collaborative is for you!
Participate in our virtual information and strategy-setting sessions to:
-
Connect with other committed, pro-equity leaders working in diverse sectors and communities.
-
Learn and share knowledge, resources, and support on the opposition campaign and best practice strategies to advance DEI.
-
Co-develop and act on more effective strategies to overcome the opposition and advance DEI in your organizations, institutions, and communities.​
In these sessions, you will learn from expert speakers who research the opposition, participate in facilitated strategy-setting discussions, and connect with other committed, pro-equity leaders. Following the sessions, you will gain access to an evolving resources compendium. You will also be invited to join a private LinkedIn community and ongoing strategy series, both of which are completely optional. ​​
Registration Process: To ensure that this is an open conversation among committed, pro-equity leaders, we invite interested colleagues to apply, and then once vetted, register to participate. This community is not affiliated with any specific political party.​​
Payment Options: We will encourage participants to make a tax-deductible contribution to the pro-equity nonprofit organizations represented by the speakers in the sessions.
