No matter how qualified you are, handling leadership challenges, workplace politics,
and gender bias is a constant challenge.
Your tools and strategies are not cutting it.
You feel like you're doing it alone. There is nobody to turn to for guidance or help.
There is too much going on. You have no space or
energy to take care of yourself. You worry: am I going to burn out?

What others said about our programs
"I have never realized how much of the way how I work and how I think about my work, is based on my assumptions. I often did not even know they existed. The program has opened my eyes and I realized where some of my assumptions were coming from. I feel more self-confident as a leader now. As if now I had roots, and I know I will be fine even when a storm comes."
Participant of the Women’s Leadership Development Programme in Ghana
"It has been a really transforming and fascinating leadership programme.
Particularly for me working in a multilateral agency, where you are trying to balance multiple levels, multiple perspectives, multiple situations and then added to that a very fast momentum and really new challenges coming from all directions.
This leadership programme, has allowed me as a leader to really just take some time out and reflect much deeper into what are some of the intrinsic not only strengths but biases, perspectives that I need to look into and the course has provided really great tools and examples, really just the space to practice leadership and to lean into your inner strength.
And to understand some of the perspectives one needs to bring into the forefront to really strengthen the leadership. It was a journey not only of transformation but of learning and understanding oneself as a leader.
And I really want to recommend it to especially those who work in multiple contexts and complex situations."

"The program helped me to a new level of understanding myself. I appreciate so much your insights, excellent communication skills and the heart you have brought to this program. What I have experienced and learned here impacted my life!"
Participant of the Women’s Leadership Development Programme in Ghana
"It was a really unique experience to be with other women, who are my peers, from organizations all over the world. There is a great sense of relief that some of the challenges that you face as a woman in a leadership position are shared by others. It has been a great opportunity to examine some of the biases and to get to know ourselves deeper and learn what are our strengths and how we can continue to learn and also find ways to mentor others."
Dr. Shelly Whitman, Executive Director, Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative, Canada
"When I learned about the program it immediately resonated with me. I have learned quite a bit, about my blind spots and what I need to work on. I was very pleased also to have met other fabulous women from all over the world. It was so interesting to learn what are their daily struggles in their divisions, but also what are the struggles and the doubts they carry about themselves. This has created a tremendous bond and understanding that you are not the only one. It was valuable training and I would certainly recommend it for anyone who wants to work on herself and make the next step in their career."
Gertie Arts, Division Manager, Ministry of Defense, Netherlands
