Backed by science. Tested by women.

The Women Rising program combine decades of corporate and academic experience with a learning curriculum backed by science. It fuses research from positive psychology, neurosc

ience, behavioural economics, leadership development, gender science and the foundations of wellbeing and resiliency.

This, together with its unique and integrated approach - program curriculum, expert coaching and community forums - is why the program is so remarkable, and why you won’t find anything like it anywhere else.

The Managers & Allies Program

We recognise that improving retention, leadership pipelines and diversity in organisations has
many layers. There is a missing piece of most professional development programs for women in that they leave out one of the most critical factors in women’s career and leadership success - their manager.

Another gaping hole in increasing gender diversity metrics is how we engage men in
not only the conversation about women at work, but provide meaningful support on their own journey to becoming active allies.

Many men are wanting to step into this role but have not had access to the tools,
community and support to do so.

Until now. At Women Rising, we not only provide unparalleled support for women with a proven personal and professional development model and program, but we also support
managers to become better mentors and sponsors and men to become more effective allies for women.

Part 1: The Women Rising Modules - This includes complete access to the Women Rising program in a private portal exclusively for managers and allies along with a group coaching call for every module, to guide managers and allies through the lessons, on how to mentor women through their learning experience, and ask related questions on the content.
Part 2: Modules for Building Effective Management and Allyship - This includes 6 specific lessons to deepen understanding of the landscape and women at work, understanding and managing bias, how to effectively mentor and sponsor women, enhancing your leadership and helping men become more effective allies.

Jeff Wogen, Head of Digital at Theta writes of the MAP:

“This is a great program for any manager to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the challenges that women can face at work. It gives you the tools to be able to better support women in your team, backed with research data and real-world examples. I was impressed with the effort put into creating this and how much I learned. Any manager would get a lot out of this program – and it was great to have the opportunity to take part in it.”
