Mid-Career Women Leaders

While we support all women, we focus on mid- to senior-level career women who are on track to become top-level decision makers in health practice, policy and research for two reasons:

  • Many women rise within organizations without meaningful opportunities for leadership skill enhancements, including targeted feedback, coaching, mentorship and robust peer networks.
  • At this stage of their career, women face the toughest bottlenecks and are at high risk of opting off or being pushed off the leadership path.
key considerations

Contextualized Learnings

WomenLift Health is contextualizing the content of the Leadership Journey to be relevant to women leaders in different cultures and countries. Based on our discoveries, we developed a set of key considerations and infused them into our Leadership Journey curriculum. To further ensure that the experience and learnings remain meaningful, we are applying a human-centered design approach where alumni help evolve the design of the Journey by contributing feedback about and evaluating their experience.
