Women Leadership Program – Step Up

Step Up – is a course inspired by my own book Step Up and is meant for mid to senior professional women. The objective of the course is to strengthen a woman’s identity as they journey to excellence and expansion. This course is run within organizations.

It enables women leaders to address the challenges they face due to internal barriers in self. It also provides tools to navigate their organizational ecosystem with ambition and drive. Empowering practical advice, strategies, and exercises are taught during the course of the program.

How does Step Up for women help?

Step Up is truly unique among women’s mid-career leadership programs, and is designed to tackle challenges as leaders step up in their careers. In this course, they will:
 
  • Become aware of early experiences that shaped who they are.
  • Become self-aware seeing their strengths and the inner critic that holds them back.
  • Identify their personal ‘CARES’ — what truly matters, and where do they wish to focus?
  • Refocus their energy and time on actions and mindsets that grow them and step up to leadership.
  • Learn to initiate actions and conversations that get results from your team.
  • Learn how to overcome obstacles with powerful tools to make an impact on the stakeholders.

    Testimonials  for the Step Up Course

    I haven’t met a person who is more passionate about women’s leadership development than Sai! She has been running the Step-up program for mid-career women leaders for many years for our business. Her colleague Jacintha teaches the Rise Up program for young career women. The aim is to help these women to get ready for the next steps in their careers. These programs have helped build their confidence to take the next steps in their roles and provided guidance on how to work through challenges that might be unique to women leaders in our ecosystem.

    I have known, worked with, and learnt immensely from Sailaja Manacha. To me, she has been a sounding board and a coach who has touched my professional life through her meaningful programs whether it was TA 101 or Step-Up. I have been able to take an inside view of myself and my behavior after I attended her programs. I also learnt the benefits of centering, taking action, and holding conversations that are crucial for my professional success. I would recommend Sai and her work to anybody who wishes to do inner work and leverage that experience to improve professionally.
