BECOME A MORE EMPOWERED, IMPACTFUL LEADER

R4G prepares female leaders to tap into the sources of resilience they will need to thrive in senior roles, build multinational networks and identify ways to bring value back to their organizations.

Why R4?

As human beings we are all looking for a meaningful and fulfilling lives of purpose and legacy. Resilience is an essential ability for leaders to positively adapt to change and adversity.  It is one of the inner capacities which helps us to connect with our fragility and vulnerability – acknowledging successes and failures – and come out as leaders who are stronger, wiser and more empathetic.

In a strength-based and confidential environment, you will increase self-awareness and form valuable peer relationships that can extend far beyond the four/six months. You will be a part of a community, a learning playground that serves as a safe haven for sharing and learning from each other.

Through the power of Storytelling you will be encouraged to develop all profound virtues of a humble leader, you will identify ways to ‘bring home’ learning to enrich your organization.

Testimonials

Americas

R4G was a unique experience. It was very emotional and it made me aware of the importance of being thankful. The feedback received from my stakeholders was very valuable for my journey. The environment created by the facilitators and the group of women was safe and deep – we were able to speak without shame about very intimate things.

I saw great value in connecting with other leaders from my own company and other industries. Moving away from the routine made me appreciate the value of being present. I enjoyed and nourished from asking face-to-face feedback as part of the pre-work, it gave me the possibility to have deep conversations and reflections.

I was looking for ways to truly embrace my leadership and this experience was awakening, it gave me tools to make it happen.

Europe

I appreciate the very personal and caring relationship that we established in our peer learning group is unique. I was really surprised that this was possible without a single face to face meeting.

I’m bringing a better self to my job, which benefits those around me.

​We got to meet women that are going through similar processes even though we are all living in different parts of the world. We help each other grow. The connection created during this period was very valuable… I was inspired by other women’s stories and learned a lot from them, which made me think about my own story with a different perspective.

Middle East

We got to meet women that are going through similar processes even though we are all living in different parts of the world. We help each other grow. The connection created during this period was very valuable… I was inspired by other women’s stories and learned a lot from them, which made me think about my own story with a different perspective.

Each module built on the following module so that we could go much deeper than I expected. The topics covered were insightful and brought revelation. It was the homework that generated the greatest amount of insight and reflection. The facilitators were world class. They held the space beautifully, were totally professional and their passion and commitment to resilience shone through.​

Asia

The R4G program helped me to be more resilient, better at managing emotions and being more self-aware. I could experience these changes only a month after coming back from the workshop. I received positive feedback from my direct reports saying that they felt more relaxed and could approach me easier than before… I’m very happy with this feedback and also proud of myself for being able to change. I feel lucky for having the chance to participate in this program, to have such a community with positive energy encouraging me to become a better person.

I’m equipped with useful tools to use in both professional and personal life. It’s triggered me to know myself better. Some blind spots that were hidden were revealed and helps me understand the impact they have over my thoughts, iceberg and my life journey.

I appreciate that this program is not just a two-day workshop but it’s really a months-long experience where we have the chance to keep working together with the women in our cohort. There’s a lot of honest sharing in an open and relaxed environment that enables us to truly understand ourselves and work on improvements. R4G is based on a holistic approach to individual resilience and growth, it’s not just for work.
