What Makes It Unique?

 

1) Your needs, your curriculum: The sessions and formats discussed above give you a glimpse of what Power Up offers. However, the group can choose through common consensus how you wish to shape the course curriculum. A small group of learners enables this flexibility.

 

2) Blend of Psychology, Body-somatics and Generative Leadership: Explore the mind-body-spirit approach to grow yourself as a leader.  Life-learning is about learning connected to your stage of life and the career stage you are at.   This is important as women we play multiple roles.  Exposure to a blended eclectic approach such as the Power Up curriculum builds a strong spine and a full heartedness that is important for leadership today. 

 

3) Varied learning formats and methods: With Live sessions, papers, learning team conversations, actionable steps, mastermind sessions, and somatic learning, Power Up keeps you tuned in to your new game and efforts. Sai holds accountability for your success walking right beside you. 

 

4) Insights from guest faculty: Every month, you will meet an experienced guest speaker who brings their rich wisdom and learning to the group in a curated 90-minute session.

 

5) A thriving sense of community: The course brings together a tribe of women leaders to create a space for community, understanding, and mutual growth. The collective wisdom and energies of the cohort will be your safe space to lean into. We need this as we take a big leap.
