Executive Leadership Development Workshop

Black women are faced with a unique set of challenges on their leadership journeys. That is, managing the extra burden of “the invisible forces” (i.e., ongoing microaggressions, conscious and unconscious biases, an overwhelming amount of white fragility and anti-blackness, and a consistent pull from a system that demands they show up as a fraction of themselves).

Black women are taught the solutions to navigating these challenges are to lean into white dominant values. This solution is not only unsustainable and dehumanizing, but is associated with an increase in poor mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and burnout. The ELD workshop was created to provide a solution that honors your humanity, centers wellness, and equips you with the skills to manage the invisible forces in the workplace.

The Executive Leadership Development workshop centers the psychological safety of Black women leaders and equips them with the skills to become a transformative leader.

Dr. LaWanda Hill of Dr. LaWanda Hill, LLC curates spaces designed specifically to center the psychological safety of Black women and equip them with skills to navigate the challenges of being a Black woman in leadership.

This engaging and immersive development opportunity is ideal for Black women leaders who desire to engage in self reflection, increase critical consciousness, cultivate new skills, and leave empowered to be transformative leaders! Leaders who struggle to broach critical conversations (i.e., address inequitable systems, power dynamics, advocate for themselves, etc.) and feel challenged in navigating ruptured professional relationships are ideal for this workshop.
