Course overview
What Is Women’s Leadership Development?
Women’s leadership development gives women the skills, self-belief and backing to lead, and to work through the obstacles that slow their progress. The course covers leadership presence, assertive communication, planning a career path, negotiation, handling disagreement, mentoring and networks, speaking up for equality and the resilience to keep going after setbacks.
Interactive workshops, real-world case studies and practical exercises let participants rehearse speaking up, negotiating and mapping their next move, learning together with women leaders in Belarus.
The course brings together women in Belarus from different sectors and career stages, from recent graduates to executives and entrepreneurs, in a supportive setting where they learn from one another, practise new skills and build connections with peers that last well beyond the two days.
Why it matters
Why Women’s Leadership Matters in Belarus
Organisations in Belarus gain when capable women move into leadership. Women who negotiate confidently, build strong networks and speak up for fair opportunity widen the talent their organisations can draw on and help others follow.
Talent is underused
When women stall below senior level, organisations lose leadership talent they have already developed.
More voices, better decisions
A wider range of perspectives makes leadership decisions sounder.
Barriers persist
Assumptions and biases still slow many women’s path to promotion and opportunity.
Communities progress together
Women in leadership help organisations and communities in Belarus progress.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Six steps trace a woman’s leadership path, from naming what she wants to lead to keeping her energy over the years, and each step is treated as something to practise with peers and pass on.

- 2. VoiceAm I being heard?
