FEMALE LEADERSHIP
CHARLOTTE SØNDERGAARD

Becoming an Authentic Leader
The ‘Becoming an Authentic Leader’ program encourage female leaders to be true to their authentic self, develop their leadership identity, own their career and be intentional. The program acts like a catalyst for daring to explore and develop one’s own authentic leadership style and aspirations. We don't believe in 'fixing' women. However, we do believe in helping women navigate structures and cultures that make it more difficult for them to achieve leadership positions, develop their identity as leaders and become successful.
This program supports the participants who want to develop as leaders, aiming for promotions to leadership positions and achieving a more meaningful career with healthy boundaries and wellbeing together with like-minded female leaders and a sponsor.

Lilly Thérèse Doringer, Senior Manager at Deloitte Sweden: We often strive after perfection, seeking competition and assume certain behavior and traits are just “normal”. But what is actually “normal”, especially in regard to leadership? If you strive after:
-
Challenging the “normal” and want to understand how society has changed regarding leadership.
-
Understanding your strength.
-
Wanting to experience a new mindset.
-
Enhancing your skills of being your authentic self.
-
Balance your private and work-life.

Estefania Montano, Manager at Deloitte Sweden: It is a fantastic leadership program that help you capitalize on your own ideas and personalize your own growth as an individual and leader. I loved that this program is designed for a group of female leaders but at the same time enable individual reflection and development. During the individual coaching sessions and masterclasses Charlotte was able to enable a safe environment where we could share, learn, and feel empowered. Finding the pieces in order to see beyond conventional norms and develop our authentic leadership style. Identify possible obstacles that we face as women in organizations, which we deep down might be aware of, but often prefers to ignore.
