We are in search of 4- 6 ambitious women who want to take a deep dive into their leadership development.

The research is clear:

• Companies with the higher percentages of women board directors out preform competitors both in sales and returns on invested capital.

• Countries with more gender balanced governments make better decisions.

• Women out preform in 13 of 15 leadership core competencies. This is even more evident during a crisis.

There is no question that women are excellent leaders - but our numbers in leadership positions in both business and politics is not relative to our population, experience, talent for leadership or education.

There are a number of reasons why women are less likely to both step forward and claim leadership positions and nurture their leadership abilities ranging from socialization, lack of representation\opportunity, biases within industry etc. This program aims to challenge the narratives of participants, bring forward their personal leadership capabilities and support them while they implement their skills in their work and home lives.

At its core leadership is a relationship. One that starts with yourself and extends outward to your relationships with those around you. Improve how you engage in those relationships and improve your leadership exponentially. It all starts with you.

Participants will be guided on a journey learning how they identify with leadership and develop a personal strategy to move forward, through learning horsemanship principles and engaging in ongoing coaching over a 6 month period.

• 3 leadership learning modules over a 6 month period.
