Women are taught if we have the right education and experiences and work hard, we can continue to climb the leadership hierarchy. I know first-hand the hidden biases that force women to work so much harder than men to get similar rewards. It would be easy for a woman to lose confidence and give up. If only she knew that working smarter - not harder is a superior approach. The Women’s Leadership Academy wants no woman to have their climb to the top deterred.
from the founder
our Vision
our mission
our Strategy
Global gender equality is not what it should be and the education system is not helping. Universities underserve their market and females are affected most because they are taught through male-biased curriculums but also fail to prepare females for the barriers they will face climbing a career ladder. This inhibits achieving gender equality in leadership and consequently gender equality.
To vastly increase the number of women with the knowledge, skills and training to navigate the labyrinth to senior leadership. We do this by offering an online, innovative, educational program that will specifically prepare women for the gender-specific challenges they face on a journey to the top of their organizations. Access and cost will leave no aspirational woman behind.
To provide a unique and evolving market-leading, very cost-competitive educational offering for women in leadership that addresses women-specific challenges in two unique ways: (1) train women to have a competitive skills advantage, and (2) train women to neutralize and navigate unconscious bias that limits career progression.
Women are equal or greater to the task of leadership, but female leaders are scarce. As women achieve more success, barriers increase. The World Economic Forum keeps extending the time frame for gender equality. In the US it’s 208 years. In Iran, 500 years. We need to pull this forward. That's the reason the Women's Leadership Academy was created.
