Identifying high potential women leaders and investing in specialized learning and development is critical to retention and acquisition of top talent. It also demonstrates your organization's commitment to strategic diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Historically, leadership development programs have catered to a general audience, which hasn't met the needs or considered the unique experiences of women in the workplace. The Women's Leadership Intensive (WLI) is a leadership journey created by women leaders, for women leaders. Why is this important? According to statistics, women comprise only 23% of executive roles globally and 30.9% hold senior positions in Canada alone. This percentage drops significantly when taking into consideration diversity among women. Women of colour, women with Indigenous heritage and women with disabilities represent approx 6% of mid-level leadership positions and approx 1% of executive roles. WLI is on a mission to advance Women in Leadership, and invite your organization to leverage our programming as part of your corporate strategy.

Did you know we offer live online workshops for your organization? In these workshops, the focus is on empowering each woman to discern her unique leadership values and potential. We don't advocate for conforming to pre-existing models of leadership; rather, we encourage exploration of innovative approaches, discovering one's authentic path, and cultivating the support network and confidence needed to pursue it. It's about embracing your individuality and leading as YOU. Our workshops are thoughtfully paced to allow ample time for reflection and practical application between sessions. Through our shared journey, a sense of community blossoms, fostering meaningful connections among participants and facilitating mutual learning. These sessions transcend traditional lectures, offering live, experiential, and interactive experiences that empower women to unlock their leadership potential.

Today, we celebrate the remarkable strength, love, and impact of all mothers. Whether you are a biological mom, adoptive mom, stepmom, grandmother, or a devoted guardian, your influence shapes the world around us. At WLI, we honour the diverse roles and relationships that define motherhood. We celebrate the women who raised us, nurtured us, and continue to inspire us daily. To all the mothers who have supported our dreams, fuelled our ambitions, and believed in our potential, we extend our heartfelt thanks. You are our guiding lights and our greatest supporters, empowering us to achieve our goals. We also recognize that relationships with mothers can be complex. On Mother's Day, we reflect on the resilience and growth that these complexities can foster. Remember, you are not alone—WLI is here to support you in this journey.

Do you journal? For me, I write every morning and my personal journalling practice is critical for my mental health and my ability to make sense of all the things that are happening within and around me. The time I take to journal each day varies, depending on what emerges, and it's a no-pressure practice that I've really come to value. We are so fortunate to be joined by guest facilitator Cheryl Sutherland of PleaseNotes  who is the co-creator of the journal we use in the WLI program. This is an experiential workshop. We will get to practice with new journaling modalities that we can easily use on a day-to-day basis or when facing obstacles. This workshop is being offered at a special price of $49 for the WLI community. This includes WLI alumni, friends, colleagues, and community members. Please share this with your friends and invite them to join us for this powerful session. https://lnkd.in/gpNPGqpp
