The True Women program is designed to empower female leaders in the MENA region, providing them with the tools and support needed to discover their “True Self,” find “Happiness,” and achieve “Balance” in their meaningful lives.

This comprehensive 5-module program integrates Emotional Intelligence and Leadership competencies, helping women leaders develop and personalize a customized toolkit to navigate life’s challenges. Recognizing the unique obstacles and Significant Emotional Events (SEEs) that women often face more intensely than men, the program aims to equip participants to thrive in their careers and personal lives.

In a region where women are increasingly breaking through the glass ceiling and holding influential positions, the True Women program stands out as a vital resource. It aligns with the accomplishments highlighted in the 2020 Forbes list, which celebrates exceptional women entrepreneurs leading transformative companies across 23 different countries in the MENA region. Despite ongoing challenges, these women have excelled in executive management roles, family businesses, banking, investment, finance, and diversified sectors.

Change is inevitable, and the True Women program encourages participants to embrace it, go with the flow, and accept the changes as they come. You deserve to thrive, and this program is here to help you do just that.

Adventurous Learning:

We are experts in “Adventurous Learning,” which encompasses experiences, observations, research, and activities delivered synchronously. This approach allows learners to connect what is happening in their work and studies, reflect on these events, and propose potential solutions to the issues raised.

Appreciative Inquiry Technique:

The Appreciative Inquiry technique focuses on building upon participants’ strengths, using them as a foundation to bridge organizational gaps and achieve the highest levels of performance.

To ensure the compatibility of experiences and activities delivered to participants, we design our workshops to be 70% action learning. This includes the following methods to ensure effective message delivery and application:

– Assessments
– Real-life examples
– Simulations
– Role plays
– Corporate games
– Movies & clips
– Discussions
– Book references
– Action plans

Gamification:

Our approach to delivering workshops is rooted in action and adventurous learning, which we have practiced for over 15 years. Our tools, corporate games, and simulations have demonstrated significant achievements and engagement through our work with clients, including EMI, for over six years. These games and tools are continuously updated and introduced to our markets through partnerships with Innovative Group USA and other affiliates. Note that activities may vary for online learning.

“There’s no one without purpose in a game. That’s what Gamification is all about.”
