Recently, we, at Interweave, met a high-energy and vibrant group of women.
This group of professional women had been nominated by their organsiations for our Open Program, Climbing the Corporate Ladder.
This program, aimed at identifying and addressing the unique challenges that professional women face, saw a powerful interaction not only between us and the women but also among one another. We recognize that each group of professionals brings a set of their own challenges to the workplace.
This program, however, explored the challenges that women deal with. The group explored concepts like assertiveness, learning to say no, dealing with power and conflict among others. We also facilitated the group to identify strategies that will help them effectively deal with such barriers so they can reach their full potential at work. Introspection naturally flowed into the session as more and more participants saw where they were being unfair in their high expectations of themselves, to perform well at both the work and home fronts. Listening to other participants share how they had dealt with the situation in their own way, brought new ideas to the table. The sense of camaraderie was quite high.
The program energized not only the participants but also us at Interweave!
We are looking forward to having such enriching experiences with more groups in the times ahead.
