Course overview
What Is Women’s Leadership Development?
Women’s leadership development gives women the skills, self-belief and backing to lead and to overcome the biases and barriers that too often hold them back. The course builds leadership presence, assertive verbal and non-verbal communication, career planning, negotiation, handling conflict, mentoring and networks, championing equality and resilience.
Interactive workshops, discussions and practical exercises let participants practise speaking with authority, negotiating and mapping their next move, together with other women leaders in Eritrea.
Women executives, managers, entrepreneurs and emerging leaders in Eritrea build the confidence, communication and negotiation skills to lead, alongside a supportive network of peers and mentors. Interactive workshops, discussions and practical exercises address the barriers and biases women meet at work, and help each participant plan how she will grow her own influence and open doors for others.
Why it matters
Why Women’s Leadership Matters in Eritrea
Eritrea, with its rich cultural heritage and growing economic sectors, needs the full range of its talent in leadership. Women who lead with confidence, and who support one another, help their organisations and communities make progress.
Talent is underused
When women are kept out of senior roles, organisations lose leaders they badly need.
More voices, better decisions
Decisions improve when leadership teams draw on a wider range of views.
Barriers persist
Biases still limit women’s access to learning, promotion and economic opportunity.
Communities progress together
Women leaders help families and communities across Eritrea progress.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Participants trace the journey of a woman leader, from setting her ambitions to staying well over a long career, treating each stage as a skill to practise and pass on to others.
