Extensive research and development by the WLA has resulted in the unique leadership

development + peer support model that underpins the Women’s Leadership Alliance.

By establishing the group as a peer network, a sae and supportive environment is created

or exploring one’s developmental strengths and needs. WLA research revealed a strong

preerence or this style o peer engagement in the learning setting.

Understanding one’s sel is at the heart

o excellent leadership. WLA’s leadership

benchmarking research identifes high

emotional intelligence and sel-awareness as

common traits among successul leaders.

Environmental awareness, or (more specifcally)

understanding how one interacts within their

social contexts, is another key theme throughout

the Women’s Leadership Alliance. Research

revealed strong demand or urther development

in areas such as communication, group dynamics

and decision making.

One o the most telling outcomes rom the WLA’s research was the high need among emale

leaders or a sense o genuine alignment between personal values and action. In response to

those fndings, the Creating Balance workshop was designed. This workshop occurs prior to

the development o personal mission statements and ensures that participants have thought

deeply about how their own values eect their perormance as leaders.
