A dynamic, professional development program designed for women who want to excel as leaders, leveraging their strengths and talents to realize their fullest potential.
Can you relate?
Perhaps you, like many of our WLE participants, have experienced one or more of the following challenges:
- You focus on addressing the needs of others, often at the expense of your own needs
- You doubt your competence, even though you have demonstrated your abilities countless times
- You use your ‘game face’ to cover insecurities so others aren’t aware of how you are feeling
- You experience high levels of stress and anxiety, especially when faced with change and uncertainty
- You feel alone and want to be connected to a network of supportive women like yourself
WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
The Women’s Leadership Experience (WLE) is a unique leadership program, designed specifically for women who, like you, are leaders within their organizations and interested in continuing to develop leadership skills for current and future roles. The program focuses on three main topics:
- Building Confidence
- Exploring Balance
- Defining Authentic Leadership
The program offers ample opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth. Like many women leaders, you may find you struggle with fear, anxiety, and self-doubt (also known as ‘Imposter Syndrome’). Through WLE, you will:
- Explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that detract from your ability to lead effectively
- Discover and celebrate those aspects of yourself that support your leadership success
- Examine the role confidence plays in various aspects of leadership, including ‘speaking up’ and ‘executive presence’
The WLE coach facilitators will create a safe environment designed to support the giving and receiving of constructive feedback. You will develop strong interpersonal connections with other group members while receiving one-on-one support through individual coaching sessions.
You will also be able to apply new skills, strategies, and techniques in your workplace as well as with clients you may serve, starting as soon as you complete Module One!
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE?
The Women’s Leadership Experience is a 6-month leadership coaching program designed by women leaders – for women leaders. It’s based on data gathered from women working at various levels of their organization and is tailored to address real-world challenges in real-time.
This program provides the opportunity to create a deeper understanding of who you are as a leader while also connecting you to a like-minded group of supportive and encouraging women!

That’s totally up to you! At a minimum, you will schedule four, 1-hour coaching sessions over the course of the 6-month program.
