The POWER of Self Program modules—six in all—take a whole-systems approach that one participant described as “leadership development with a heart.” Working from the inside out, the modules offer an extended learning experience in which to develop the three levels of leadership skills: individual, group and organizational.
Individual
The training focuses first on individual power and offers the opportunity to appreciate one’s own unique qualities. Participants develop a common language with which to speak about their differences and create a safe environment to explore behaviors and beliefs about power. Each participant has the opportunity to gain valuable insights into her own views of authentic leadership.
Group
Individual work continues, but the focus shifts to the development of groups and teams. Participants begin creating a genuine community of women supporting women as they explore issues of inclusion, control, and openness, trust and betrayal, and “feminine” and “masculine” approaches to conflict, competition, risk and influence.
Organizational
Participants now learn to think systemically, experiencing the four roles of organizational life—“Top, Middle, Bottom and Customer”—that affect all leaders’ choices. Participants explore the dynamics of diversity and strategize ways to build powerful partnerships across organizational lines.
