PROGRAM THEMES
Theme 1: The Leadership Context
It is said that the last thing that a fish is
likely to discover is the water it is
swimming in. The question here is: like the
fish, do we take our context for granted?
As women leaders who have a role to play
in shaping and setting the organizational
context, it is imperative that we explore
and understand the milieu and
environment in which we have evolved ourleadership.
Developing the ability to read and decipher
the forces that have shaped our lives as
women and leaders will result in women
becoming more aware of the contexts that
need to be created NOW. Exploring the
question of “what type of context is being
created by your leadership?”, will lead to
building “contextual intelligence” – the
ability to understand the influence of the
contextual forces surrounding women in
leadership, and the ability to adapt and
change the leadership style as
environmental conditions evolve.
During this session, aspects related to
personal, gender and cultural dimensions of
women’s leadership will be covered both in
terms of “what” and also “how” women can
exercise Contextual Leadership and be
masters of their context.

Theme 2: The Alchemy: Activating
The Power of Self
“Alchemy neither composes nor mixes: it
increases and activates that which
already exists in latent state” Being in the leadership space means a
deep commitment to enhancing our
personal and professional capacities.
Creating a strong foundation for
leadership involves building personal
infrastructure. Developing further on the
participants’ understanding of the merits
of good leadership – this session will
provide an opportunity to learn specific
techniques and practices that create
leadership excellence.
The session will focus on building abilities in
three areas:
• Self -Resilience
• Leading and Managing Change
• Global Leadership and Mind-Set
By giving active expression to developing
women’s leadership as an integral part of
business strategy we will move closer to the
goal of building women business leaders.
-“Leaders are more powerful role
models when they learn than when
they teach”
- Rosabeth Moss Kantor
Theme 3: The Dynamics of Women at
Workplace
The session promises to be a Socratic
voyage of discovery with some key
questions that impact women’s leadership development as part of the learning
agenda:
• What are some of the stereotypes that
the workplace reinforces or disputes?
• What are the interpersonal and power
dynamics at the workplace?
What are the challenges related to
Gender Diversity at the workplace and
how they can be addressed?
“The real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeking new landscape, but in having new eyes”
- Marcel Proust, French Essayist and novelist

Theme 4: Women Developing
Women
Networking, Mentoring and Coaching will
form the three pillars of this session.Women working together can create a
powerful energy for achievement of each
other’s potential. The challenge is to
examine and explore the nature of our
engagement with each other and give a
definite commitment towards activating
the latent energy within us.
The session focuses on both exploring the
relevance and building the skills to provide
successful leadership in these areas and
also optimize their growth opportunities.
Theme 5: Presenscing
"To see the world in a grain of sand,
and a heaven in wild flowers, Hold
infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour"
- William Blake
In this final session the focus will be on
evolving the future with actions in the
present.
The specific focus will be on consolidating
and expressing the Leadership Challenges,
Develop Learning Partnerships, and
concretize ways in which women’s
leadership will find its Voice, Expression,
and Engagement.
At the end of this session participants
would have a very clear and definite link
with their “highest future possibility” and
let it come into the present as actual
actions and experiences.
They will also understand the critical
importance of building an Executive
Personal Brand based on their personal
value system; strong delivery of
accomplishment and goals, and building
networks beyond the workplace that will
enrich their capabilities.
