How is SUSTAIN different to other leadership programs?
SUSTAIN represents a new and exciting direction in female leadership development. It builds on exciting leadership development strategies and adds to these by incorporating a realistic awareness of the realities facing women today.
Drawing on findings from their respective consultancy practices, their own research around women, leadership and the pandemic as well as the Deloitte Global Women @ Work report and IBM Women, Leadership and Missed opportunity Report 2021, Ingrid and Angela have taken everything they have learned from their combined personal and professional experiences and channelled it into a comprehensive program designed exclusively for women.
You will be surrounded by women in a supportive environment who share your ambition, commitment and enthusiasm, who are ready to find a rounded solution to their personal and professional responsibilities and who believe life shouldn’t have to stand in the way of career success. Not only will you receive the skills, support and challenges you need to reach your goals, you’ll make connections that will help you survive and thrive.
