Women's Leadership Incubator

1. You identify your leadership goals.

At the beginning of the program, you work individually and with the group to create 1-2 goals that you want to focus on. You'll also meet with Amanda one-on-one for a breakthrough coaching session to explore your goals, vision for leadership, possible barriers and ways past them.

2. You get bimonthly support & accountability from your group for 3 months in LIVE group sessions.

This is where the magic happens. Facilitated by Amanda, these live group sessions are your regular space to workshop challenges with your group, share your wins, face your fears, learn new skills, and receive coaching. You gain a personal think tank of advisors and champions that help you get to where you want to go.

3. You get regular video coaching from Amanda

Maybe you hit a bump in the road and can't wait for the next group session. Or you just need a little extra encouragement when you feel stuck. Amanda supports you with regular video coaching for pressing challenges during the 3 months.

4. Get matched with a learning partner.

For additional networking and support, you will be matched with a learning partner or partners from your group. You choose together how you want to meet and when, with guidance from the Incubator.

5. Optional Bonus: Zoom Coworking

Sometimes it helps to do your work in the quiet company of others. For bonus accountability, WLI will run 1.5 hour drop in zoom co-working sessions during the course of the program. Drop in, share what you are working on - and get it done!

We highly encourage you to ask your organization for professional development funds to invest in your leadership. We are happy to provide documentation to support that request.

WLI is offered on a sliding scale depending on your individual and organization access to financial resources. Check out the criteria here to find the rate that best fits your/your organization’s resources.

When is it happening?

The next Incubator will begin in February 2025 and meet on Thursdays over 12 weeks between noon - 2pm ET. Non-meeting weeks are devoted to taking action, reflection and practice. Before you apply, we ask that you check your calendar for possible conflicts. We ask that if you are accepted into the program, you make the commitment to attend at least 5 of the 6 LIVE sessions.

Put into practice your action steps from your peer-coaching sessions and goal setting.
Complete the occasional prep or post work for the LIVE group sessions.
You are welcome to put in as much time as you want, of course! 2-hour commitment per week is critical for taking this work forward.

What kind of goals can I focus on in WLI?

Goals are wide-ranging from more personal to more professional. You define your goal with support from Amanda & the group. Past participants increased their fundraising, took on new leadership positions, restructured their boards, created new teams and more! Examples of goals past participants worked on include:

Identify new board members that will bring experience in fundraising to my board.
Raise $30,000 for organization by May 15.
Increase confidence in building relationships & supervising my direct reports.
Reduce my feelings of burnout & isolation in my role - bring joy back to my work.
Navigate my new role and increase my influence as a member of the senior leadership team.
Stop micromanaging my direct reports by adopting a coaching leadership style.

How do I know it's for me?

If you are in a position of leadership or influence in your organization and are ready to commit to taking your leadership to the next level, this is for you.
If you are ready to commit 2 hours/week for 12 weeks to go for your goals, this is for you.
If you are excited to deepen your reflection and coaching skills in a group program with other inspiring women leaders, this is for you.

What's the structure for each session?

While the content will vary each LIVE session, the structure remains relatively the same. These key ingredients are integrated into the way we work together:

Resiliency and self-care practices
We will explore different mindfulness, movement, and grounding practices to help us settle in, get present and focused for our important work together.
Checking in on your goals
You will have exciting wins and also hit bumps in the road as you move forward. We want to hear about all of it! You will have a chance in every session to share wins, appreciations and challenges.
Leadership training
What got you here, won’t get you there! We integrate frameworks, exercises and training rooted in best-practices for going after your goals, including: Setting purposeful goals; Navigating your inner critic; Leading/influencing across difference and power; Cultivating self-care and sustainability. Other topics will be included based on the interests of the group.
Peer-coaching
Half of the fun is being able to learn from the incredible experiences and smarts of women in the group! We use peer coaching during our bi-monthly group sessions to support you in addressing the challenges and questions that surface along your leadership journey. You will both share your wisdom and also gain from the collective smarts of all the incredible leaders in your group.
Action planning
We are invested in your success. Every session is an opportunity to reflect on what’s working, what’s getting in your way and what’s the next step that you want to take to move forward on your goals.
