Case Studies

Case Study: Gender Inclusive Leadership Training – Health Industry

Inge Woudstra trainer

Issue: Women aren’t moving up at the same rate as men. However, at the bottom of the organisation we have 80% women.

Question: How can we motivate women to move up?

What we did: a 1/2 day Gender Smart leadership course for men and women

Result: Leaders are aware of gender differences, and how best to leverage diverse talent in their team,and encourage them to move up. A  new approach and language to engage with those of the opposite gender in the team, which is already leading to new conversations and increased team engagement.

Case Study: Women’s Leadership – Private Investment Bank

Women Leadership Programme

Issue: Women aren’t stepping up into top leadership roles.

Question: Can you deliver part of our women’s leadership programme, with a focus on allowing women to be their authentic selves in senior positions, so we can harness diversity? Can you also help them take on the role of sponsors or mentors of younger women?

What we did: 1/2 day programme Gender Smart Women.

Result: Top women are aware to what extent they do bring new insights and working styles into the top of the company. They know how to speak up about it, and are aware of ways they can help other women.

Testimonials

It has made me seriously think about how I deal with male and female staff, and given me a better insight as to why some things have not worked as well as they could have in the past. Now I feel I have new tools to tackle those situations with.

Inge put in considerable effort to the event and delivered a thoroughly professional, thought provocative and stimulating session. The workshop was repeated twice during the afternoon and both slots overran due to numerous questions and interesting debate generated by the participants. I would thoroughly recommend Inge as a speaker or facilitator at any workshop related to gender and diversity.

Nina Wilson

I would like to thank you very much for the benefit of the course you gave us. I benefit from your course a lot. I notice the difference. I speak up more for my ideas, and say more often what I think. I am happy you told us about the gender differences, which I can notice at work. I am proud of myself.
