HNS Leadership Journey

The transformative journey with Her New Standard’s women’s leadership development programs starts with self-exploration. This sets the foundation for the growth ahead.

A supportive manager plays a crucial role as both an activator and advocate throughout all stages in the participant’s journey. They help integrate learnings into the workplace culture, offering guidance, support, feedback, and growth opportunities beyond the program.

Key Stages
1

A critical part of the journey is to become aware of the inner critic, irrational beliefs, and limiting behaviors that are inhibiting success. Participants embrace their inner champion and define their leadership brand. As self-awareness deepens and skills are honed, the current self begins to evolve into the future leader.

2

This growth and transformation is facilitated through mindfulness, recognizing their unique contributions, and cultivating a leadership mindset.

3

Within a safe and inclusive space, participants engage with a powerful community of peer groups, coaches, mentors, and sponsors. This empowering environment allows women to explore and share their leadership challenges and strengths.

4

Ultimately, the HNS Leadership Journey empowers participants to advance and evolve into powerful future leaders, equipped with the tools and mindset to thrive.

frequently asked questions

about leadership training and development for women

Women’s leadership development refers to a specialized program designed to nurture and enhance the leadership skills of women leaders across various industries. The program aims to equip women with the necessary tools, knowledge, and support to excel in leadership roles, fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce.
Women’s leadership development is crucial for achieving gender parity in leadership positions and promoting diversity within organizations. It empowers women to overcome barriers, build confidence, and unlock their full potential, ultimately driving positive organizational outcomes, innovation, and improved decision-making.
Our women’s leadership development programs are open to women professionals at many stages of their careers, from emerging leaders to C-suite executives. We welcome individuals from various industries and backgrounds who are committed to advancing their leadership capabilities and driving positive change.
Women-only leadership training programs are essential because research shows that women can better solidify their leadership identity in a supportive community of other women, where it is safe to share their struggles and strategies. Creating a psychologically safe environment empowers women to overcome obstacles and develop key skills. As a result, these programs contribute to closing the gender leadership gap and fostering a more diverse and equitable leadership landscape.

Women in leadership enrich organizations by offering diverse perspectives, fostering collaborative environments, and enhancing decision-making with a wider range of insights. Their leadership contributes to innovation, employee engagement, and overall organizational success.

Our women’s leadership development programs offer a comprehensive blend of interactive workshops, leadership coaching, and peer learning circles. Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, enhance their executive presence, strengthen communication skills, and build a supportive network of like-minded women leaders.
The duration of our women’s leadership development programs varies based on the specific offering. We offer both short-term workshops and more extensive, in-depth programs. Please refer to our program descriptions for detailed information on each option.
Absolutely! We understand that each organization has unique needs and challenges. We offer customizable women’s leadership development solutions to align with your organization’s objectives and tailor the program to address your team’s specific requirements.
Our women’s leadership development programs stand out because they are research-based, include one-on-one executive coaching and a strong emphasis on building a supportive community. We prioritize building self-awareness and mindfulness, ensuring our participants are well-equipped to lead with impact.

To get started, simply reach out to our team. We will guide you through the program options, discuss your objectives, and help you select the most suitable program for your leadership journey.

While our primary focus is on women’s leadership development, we recognize the importance of allyship and male engagement in advancing gender equity. We offer specialized workshops and training opportunities that encourage men to become advocates for women’s leadership and foster a culture of inclusion.
Participants in our women’s leadership development programs report increased influence, enhanced ability to lead with confidence, improved decision-making abilities, and a broader professional network. Many go on to achieve career advancements and most increase their organizational impact and responsibilities.
