Women vs Women – Challenging vs Championing

We have been so fortunate to have been involved in Women’s Leadership programs for over five years, bringing groups of like-minded women together to build confidence, authenticity, resilience, emotional wellbeing and self-leadership.
 
It has been humbling to see groups of strangers lean in, share narratives and experiences that have shaped who they are today. Tackling self-awareness themes such as ‘Imposter Syndrome’, ‘Negative self-talk’, ‘The Confidence Gap’, and ‘The Comparison Trap’ these all-female groups have dug into some limiting self-beliefs and learned to overlay these with new neural pathways leading to more positive outcomes.
 
So, what have we learned through these sessions:

   • Creating psychologically safe environments is imperative for women to share limiting self-beliefs
   • These environments ensure no judgements, no consequences, just empathy, understanding and shared experiences
   • How quickly women can feel supported when they let their walls down
   • By sharing narratives we start to ‘normalise’ our experiences and feel less isolated
   • Women are truly resilient!
   • It takes a support network to help us identify and explore our potential
   • How quickly women can turn a challenging past experience into a belly-laugh within the company of other women
   • Women who like to challenge (rather than champion) women do not thrive in these environments
 
Our finales for our women’s groups in both Mackay and Airlie Beach are drawing near and we would love for all women to join us for these panel events. The topics are: Mackay “The F!#k it 40s & 50s – the joy of not giving a f!#k”; Airlie – “Women vs Women: Challenging vs Championing”. We have some great speakers, head to our website for more details.
