Series One: Quintessential Businesswoman

 
 
 

1. WHAT IS A CARING BUSINESSWOMAN?

I have power, strength, and will protect my team.
A caring businesswoman knows how to create an environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated. We’ll look at examples of leaders who have created strong, cohesive, and productive teams and the tactics they have used.

 
 

2. BEING A LEADER

I will inspire, motivate, teach, and build future leaders with integrity. A true leader is determined to transfer her knowledge to the next generation, creating a better future for everyone. In this session we’ll explore the following:

  1. What defines leadership?

  2. How does a woman create a runway for leadership?

  3. What are the 10 business rules for woman leaders?

 
 

3. SHARING ON THE JOB

I am a considerate listener, thinker and giver.
A leader who only wants to hear “yes,” and is unwilling to consider the input of others will lose the confidence and support of her team. Through interactive activities, we’ll explore the dynamics of being a good listener, accepting criticism, and giving constructive advice to others.

 
 

4. LEARNING TO THINK POSITIVE

I will come from a place of optimism.
In the work world as in life, a good attitude will take you far. Executives are looking for people who come to the table with solutions. And business owners know that each day brings its share of pressing issues that need to be handled in the moment. We’ll look at examples of constructive problem solving and discuss the ways we can bring positive energy to our jobs as well as our personal lives.

 
 

5. GET YOUR ROAR GOING

I will own my authentic voice.
Whether you’re new to a company or the boss, the most valuable thing you can offer is your authentic self - your knowledge, talent, humor, insights, and energy. Keeping your best qualities hidden doesn’t help anyone – especially yourself. We’ll take an honest and thorough assessment of our skills and strengths, and brainstorm ways to bring more of our essential selves to our business environment.

 
 

Series Two: Quintessential Community Woman

 
 
 

1. CARE:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO CARE FOR ONE’S SELF?

Start by putting you first.
Create strategies to help you develop and maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Value yourself and make your self-care a priority.

 
 

2. LEAD:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO OWN YOUR DESTINY AND LEAD YOUR PATH?

Your life is a reflection of your thoughts, words, and actions.
The words you choose can impact your fate. Believe in your vision and dreams, and work diligently every day to transcend fear. Wake up each morning with the belief that you will find a solution for every obstacle you encounter.

 
 

3. SHARE:
HOW DO YOU SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES TO HELP A SISTER THAT IS STRUGGLING?

Be mindful of the words you use to share thoughts and feelings when speaking to others.
Come from a place of compassion and empathy. Negativity and criticism can harden your relationships, even if you did not mean for that to happen.

 
 

4. THINK POSITIVE:
TRANSFORM YOUR MIND AND CHANGE YOUR FUTURE.

Speak to yourself with the same enthusiasm, encouragement, love, kindness and compassion as you do to the people you cherish and care for.
Beware of judging yourself too harshly. It is important to become your own coach and supporter, to learn from past mistakes, and to move forward with a positive attitude and outlook.

 
 

5. ROAR:
CREATE AND MAINTAIN YOUR CENTER

Own your voice and live in an authentic posture of peace, resilience and love.
