Coaching and Wellbeing

Our coaching programmes are grounded in responding to the challenges women face personally, professionally and systemically. The foundation of our approach is to remind women of the value they bring to the world; and for them to understand that they can only build a better world if they prioritise building a better self: confident, self-compassionate, healthy and fulfilled.

Research has proven over and over that:

• Women are the foundation for strong and thriving communities.
• Women’s leadership is needed now more than ever to build a better world.
• Women can open doors for other women to enter male-dominated professional and business spaces.

The impact of this is that:

• That women often carry the economic burden of raising children because, in countries like South Africa for example, more than 40% of households are run by women who are single parents.
• Women play multiple roles as professionals, parents, partners, caregivers, etc. placing an unrealistic burden on them to “succeed” in all these roles with limited or no meaningful family or systemic support.
• Women prioritise the wellbeing of everyone else, at the cost of their own health and wellbeing. Consequently, many women end up living with chronic and inflammatory diseases that affect their quality of life.
• Women’s health does not get the attention it needs from the system and the healthcare sector. Menopause is a key concern here. The health, workplace and societal support women need in menopause is totally absent; leaving women to “suffer in silence” while expecting them to still bring 150% to meet everyone's expectations.
• Childhood conditioning about women's role in society, and the unrealistic expectations lead women to constantly question their abilities and their self-worth - resulting in low self-confidence and unconscious self-sabotage.

We Support Women who:

• Want to lead and influence in professional and business spaces.
• Are committed to building a world that values and protects women's rights, aspirations and contributions.
• Want to improve and support their health and wellbeing proactively; and
• Seek to embrace the next chapter of life feeling connected to their purpose; while feeling financially ready; and mentally and physically well enough to do so.

We Support women through:

• Individual coaching
• Small group coaching
• Training and mentoring
• Retreats and events
• Advocacy and wellbeing resources

Our flagship coaching programmes are:

• Executive Elevation Experience - individual coaching programme with wraparound support.
• ASCEND Women's Executive Leadership Development - group coaching programme for women in the social impact sector.
