Make 2023 your breakthrough year

As you plan for the year ahead, I encourage you to deep dive within and ask yourself if you are a woman ready to transform your career, step into your authentic leadership style, build radical confidence and be intentional about your wellbeing?

Or are you a business leader looking for a tested way to retain and promote women in a market where up to 91 per cent of employers are experiencing skills shortage?

Registration for the 5th cohort of the Women Rising program, supported by Microsoft, is now open with its evidence-based curriculum, expert coaching and supportive community on offer.

The Women Rising program is a holistic 4-month personal and professional development journey that is proven to drive results for women, managers and organisations. It gives women the confidence, tools, and practical steps to take their leadership to the next level, and to help organisations reach their goals. For businesses, it brings male allies on the journey, a critical but often overlooked part of diversity strategies.

I firmly believe enabling women to step into their power is needed now more than ever. Since the pandemic we are seeing record levels of burnout amongst women, and never have women needed more support in their lives, careers, and to show up as authentic leaders than right now. Women need to be investing in the future that they want to create, and to get access to proven tools, coaching and community connection to help them elevate their career and life.

In a tough job market, focusing on development of key talent and honing in on retention strategies like Women Rising is critical. For business leaders, now is the time to be investing in your female talent. Every business is looking for effective ways to attract, retain and promote women in their workplace, and to achieve more gender balance and equity.

Since I launched the Women Rising program 2 years ago, 4,500 women, 465 managers and allies from 412 organisations in 36 countries have undertaken the virtual program, with graduates reporting significant positive outcomes:

·      97% report having tools to take more confident action

·      98% feel like a more authentic leader

·      96% have new tools to progress their career

·      93% have greater clarity on their vision and purpose

·      92% are more intentional about their wellbeing

·      98% of program graduates highly recommend the program

The program design, delivery and results are unique. It is fully virtual, high touch and strategically designed to drive engagement which is always a challenge for online program providers. We see engagement rates upward of 85% which is rare.

The March program runs for 4-months from March 8 to June 29, 2023 and registration is open until March 3.  The Women Rising program is $999. This is 50% off the standard program rate of $1,999. The parallel Managers and Allies program is $1,499. Participants receive lifetime access to the program and an exclusive Alumni community, further rare benefits of the Women Rising model.

We are offering a further March only incentive: Register ten women in the Women Rising program and receive one complimentary place in the Managers and Allies program valued at $1,499. Having the aligned Women Rising Managers and Allies program, inclusive of all genders and with a focus on male allies, is a game changer for businesses who need to bring everyone on the journey to create real change.

This March, I hope you’ll join a community of women and allies who together are rising and creating tangible business outcomes in the process.
