Rise To Leadership Program
Accelerating women’s leadership and impact
A 12-week training and mentorship course helping women to become
the leaders they’re meant to be.
You can lead from where you are!
The tools and resources you need are already within you.
Are you ready to lead and make an impact in your company and community?
Most leadership training designed for women assumes that to succeed in your leadership journey, you must somehow adopt a dominant identity, even if it means letting go of your femininity and authenticity.
While it’s true that women have not been socialised to compete successfully in a world designed for men, we must learn skills that help us to succeed. However, you need not change your identity to grow as a leader.
Instead, as women, you can focus on the impact you’re here to make – using your gifts, talents and unique value. This requires you to adopt behaviours that help advance your impact instead of learning to adopt a masculine approach.
The Rise To Leadership program is for women who desire to develop their leadership without changing their identity.
Starting February 7, 2023, we will be learning and sharing knowledge with an elite group of women. Our programs are designed to prepare women in mid-level management roles to move into top leadership roles while staying true to their authentic leadership style. Participants learn from the experiences and perspectives of executive role models and thought leaders who have walked their paths.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

Oluwabusayo Bamigbola

This program was certainly insightful and full of practical lessons that every woman in leadership, or aspiring to be, should apply in their roles.
I am so grateful for this opportunity & I look forward to paying it forward.

Laurence Mariello
UPS SCS Europe & ISMEA HR BP Director
It was really nice to see that you are not alone, we are not alone, in facing these questions or situations. It helped me to grow in confidence and the way to address things.
And now, I have discovered that I need to have a plan.

Adebola Kupoluyi
Head of Operational Services, Africa, American Tower Corporation
The opportunity has been an eye-opener. Amidst every other thing, one thing that I will never forget is the fact that I have the right to ask for what I want in my career.
There is no point playing small. If I want it, and I know that I deserve it, then I should ask.
