I find it difficult to say no

Many of us at some point have had to work at this, me included. The women leadership training program addresses the need to please, and most importantly, what saying no really means to you in your own mind. Cultivating courage and starting with small steps helps you overcome the difficulty of saying no, and demonstrates to you that saying no can be polite, genuine, avoiding any future resentment and even improving relationships

I find it difficult to ask for a pay rise, or a holiday

55% of what we say is how we say it, believe it and are passionate about it. The women leadership program enables you to speak assertively and with conviction. The training helps you overcome the fear of asking, and the fear of rejection. Often we focus on the rejection even before we have a no, and this shows up in our tone and body language

I hesitate to share my views and opinions in a meeting

We hesitate to share when we fear rejection, judgment or disapproval. Owning a room is about being sure of yourself, your thoughts, your ideas, and your suggestions. The women’s leadership program helps you build confidence to share your thoughts with meaning, passion and authenticity. You will build an inner strength that allows you to value the best idea in the room, and as you shift your focus to the discussion, your hesitation will reduce.

I am not able to say anything when others take credit for my work.

It is right at times to stake your claim, to take a seat at the table, or pull up a chair for yourself. Many organizations lose out on great women leaders because those women didn’t show up to take credit, and women lose out on advancing in their careers because they did not speak up. The leadership program for women leaders helps you build courage to voice, walk tall, sit up, and put a spring in your step, as you make yourself noticed, acknowledged and rewarded.

FAQ

What if I sense there is some kind of harassment being in a largely male environment

If you are at any time uncomfortable, and sense that there is any indication of bad behavior, it is absolutely necessary to voice it to HR or boss. There is zero tolerance for any uncalled for conduct.

How can I balance my work life and my personal life so that I can give quality time to my family

Demanding work and family responsibilities makes it difficult for us to give quality time to both, and often we feel one needs to be compromised. But it is absolutely possible to manage both home and work with a few changes we can make. Key is to focus on quality over quantity, attention over distraction, effectiveness over efficiency. Self-care is a big part of balancing our life. When we take care of ourselves, we give better of ourself to others.

Do I need to change who I am, belong to a boy’s club or be like a man in order to be successful?

Not at all. You must be who you are, authentic and natural. But you must imbibe certain necessary skills for senior roles and leadership. It is not a room full of clones that achieve the best results, but when different minds, personalities, perspectives and thinking come together, the best ideas come forth. But you must work at finessing and refining your innate skills.

Does image and appearance matter if you have great technical skills?

Technical skills are necessary, but are diluted without having the support of a good presence. How you carry yourself, communicate, the etiquette with which you behave and the efficiency with which you handle difficult situations help bring those technical skills to notice. Your technical skills can have a greater impact through your presence. The women’s leadership program focuses on the impression you make in the 4-7 seconds to the more lasting impact you have.
