Get Wise concerning today's gender bias realities that lead to gender gaps for women. You, the women and men on your team, and your daughters and sons, need to be aware of today's gender bias realities. We can't arm ourselves to respond with confidence and skill when we don't prepare ourselves to first see and identify what obstacles we may find in our path. Get informed!

Make 2025 the year to unleash your transforming influence!

Dawn Y. Graber, Process Consultant, Emotional Intelligence MYgrow Champion,  and PQ® executive coach of Design Group International, invites you, as a woman in leadership, to join WILrise.

Why Should I Join the Cohort?

You will gain personalized guidance and resources, including the PQ®mental fitness program, and receive actionable women’s leadership anti-bias tools through short input sessions by Dawn. Our work together will fortify you to be able to show up utilizing your full giftedness, particularly amidst the realities of gender bias.

Tools & Resources To Lead As A Woman  Leader

As an educator, consultant, and coach, Dawn loves to equip and strengthen women leaders.  Learning to first see and identify current gender bias is paramount to unleashing a woman leader’s full transforming influence. Dawn has had real experience with the gender realities that continue differently for most women in the workplace. The outcomes of gender bias cause additional stress for women leaders and often have us showing up more tenuous and less confident than is helpful in our positions. Each woman cohort participant will identify current gender bias realities and self-limiting beliefs for themselves, and be stretched to commit to corresponding action steps to live more fully into each woman leader’s unique potential.

Coaching
Individualized Monthly Leadership Coaching

Monthly one-on-one leadership coaching sessions with Dawn are thought-provoking creative conversations that inspire you to maximize your personal and professional potential as a leader and as a woman. You will be propelled to solve any roadblocks in your leadership as together we use the discerned knowledge of your gender-biased realities and limiting beliefs. Coaching will tap into the truth of your strengths and pull on strategies that work for you to unleash your full transforming influence. 

Rather than handing you answers and pre-conceived solutions,  coaching is about asking questions and providing a framework for you to identify and take your next bold and confident steps as a woman leader.

Cohort
Monthly Guided Cohort Experience

In this women's leadership cohort, you can expect to learn and benefit from the experience of your peers: other woman leaders who understand the joys and challenges you face in your role. As you gather with women leaders from other geographic regions and occupations, you'll experience the rich creative potential of a confidential and safe setting in which to gain communal wisdom and support.

"Being a woman in business doesn't come without challenges. My advice? Surround yourself with other supportive women that encourage you, share ideas, and get you motivated."

- Jessica Alba

Be equipped to unleash your transforming power in a gendered-biased reality.

To lead effectively as a woman, you need to first understand today's gender realities and biases that impede your full expression of leadership. Next, we'll learn strategies to counter limiting behaviors and beliefs. All in a supportive confidential setting where women support women.
