Women’s Leadership Cohort

Women bring unique talents and abilities to the workplace, although subtle biases continue to get in the way of even the most competent female leaders reaching their potential. In this cohort, our goal is to learn, explore, challenge, and empower through leadership development and problem-solving. 

EverGROWTH Consulting will facilitate monthly sessions that are two hours in length for 8-12 members. Each session will start with a 30-45 minute training and discussion on a specific leadership opportunity. Topics will be customized based on the needs of the members. Topics could include:

• Can You Have It All?
• The Imposter Syndrome
• The Art of Communication
• Courageous Leadership
• Building Resilience
• The Authentic Leader
• Leading a Diverse Workforce
• Small-Group Dynamics
• Bringing Your Leadership Competencies to Life
• Active Listening Skills

The remainder of each session will focus on discussing the challenges that members are facing, and working as a team to identify solutions. We will spend time revisiting past challenges to provide ongoing support.

Participation Fee

Participation fee for the Spring Cohort is $800.

Investor membership is not required.
