Leaderful Women
– A seminar for women in management, leadership and professional practice (PMI).
Led by Sue Congram & Barbro Huldén
A seminar for women in management, leadership and professional practice
Have you ever felt that you have more to offer, could achieve greater aspirations as a woman, but don’t know how to? PMI is launching this new seminar, developing leaderful strengths in women. The design and content is informed by many years of experience from the leaders who have worked with women in a wide range of positions, enabling many to deal with seemingly insurmountable work and life issues.
Being leaderful is what happens everyday, how you act in each moment, in a wide range of different situations. It’s about being present, being aware and reflective of yourself and others, taking initiatives, taking ideas forward, being choiceful, saying what you believe, appreciating difference, living your values and inspiring others to be leaderful - that is, bringing out the best in yourself and in others.
All of this starts with who you are as a person.
On completion you should be able to:
- know how to be leaderful in your work, especially in the moment of face to face contact with people around you
- engage the art of reflective practice on three levels; personal, relational, organisational
- understand how family and cultural patterns are deeply rooted in your everyday way of living, and how this can inhibit leaderful practice
- challenge hidden beliefs about your attitude towards management and leadership
- understand the difference between a leader role and leaderful acts
- consider yourself as a role model and what that means
- overcome personal patterns of control that undermine your leaderful
- potential, learning how to do things differently and be successful
- understand how to build self confidence and self belief
- make informed aware choices in your daily encounters
Three-Day Seminar
This three-day seminar is highly participative, it includes short teaching sessions, small group work, journaling as a way of learning, creative methods for deepening self awareness, self reflection, opportunities for personal insight, and learning new ways to be in your world of work.
The programme provides the space for women to develop an embodied leaderful presence in their work and life, challenging deeply held beliefs on who they are and how to be in the world.
The event requires participants to prepare a small piece of biographical text prior to the event. It calls for active participation, with a personal commitment to learn and develop. An element of trust must be present in order to increase self-awareness and create a deeper understanding in oneself and others.
