The Sacred Corridor For Leadership^TM

Perspectives of senior women leaders who Arrived, Strived and Thrived in their leadership journey.

Do you have a plan for your star performing women leaders and aspiring women leaders from leaning out?

Most research on women leaders predominantly focus on their climb up the ladder. But what are the delights and dilemmas faced by women in senior leadership roles? We wanted to build empirical evidence through strong narratives with a focus on identifying competencies that helped women ARRIVE, STRIVE and THRIVE.

Our research led us to a unique trademarked framework to engage and promote women leaders in every critical interface in their careers. We proudly call this research The Leadership Geometry™ and the framework is called The Sacred Corridor for Leadership™, for women professionals.

The research and its findings have helped us devise a practical and highly experiential learning journey to help organisations and women professionals to connect the dots between their profession, passion and purpose.

Our highly experienced team of global mentors and coaches are committed to creating meaningful transformations for women at work and the diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging strategies and policies for organisations. Our exclusive solutions for promoting women leadership include curated mentoring journeys, powerful coaching engagements and uniquely crafted vital programmes in the space of Women Leadership Development.

What women leaders say about WOW Factors

Thank you for sharing! WOW 😊

This is amazing. So many insights and I love the practical nature as well with the “placemat,” questions and next steps so readers can both reflect and act.

Congratulations. I bet this will be well received by all.

While I would like to read this again (and probably again), at first read, I found the crystalization of thoughts for all the people you may have spoken to, added with your critical insights, to provide formulaic set of guiding principles that women and those around them should read and internalize.

Some material is net new in its representation, something I haven’t come across before in other leadership related research.

I really loved the report.

It was amazing to see how through stories you had come up with so many data points which was very interesting.

WOW! What a report – and so very different from any other report I have ever read!

Kudos to the team for bringing this out, and in your usual intellectually incisive and incredibly engaging style. This is worth many reads.

Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to be part of this insightful research.

As much or more than what I have contributed to your research, I have gained many perspectives from this detailed report which needs to be read, re-read many times to go deeper into what makes us successful and what are the challenges in the road ahead.
