LEADHERSHIP IN COLOUR
Navigating the workplace is complex. For women of colour, it is far more complicated. The double-edged sword of race and gender puts them under a constant spotlight of scrutiny. We know that women of colour must develop immunity towards the biases, discrimination, and microaggressions that accompany being both a woman and a person of colour.
Thwarting their advancement can have a detrimental impact on their well-being and eventually result in them leaving their workplaces. Those that go through discrimination are more likely to opt-out of their jobs. Bias and discrimination are incredibly harmful to those experiencing it and to companies alike, who risk losing talented employees that can bring value to the firm.
Our LeadHERship Coaching & Mentoring Program for Women of Colour is designed to help women of colour navigate their personal, organisational and political challenges of their role, without sacrificing their individuality and cultural identity. This program will enable talented women use their self-awareness in reinforcing their emotional intelligence, authenticity, and agility.
