100-Day Challenge
AUTUMN 2020 – SWITZERLAND
2
Our virtual programs
This fall, the 100-Day Challenge and the Leadership Challenge will take place primarily online and will continue to draw on our proven methodology. More than 350 women have already experienced this virtual approach which delivered the same results that have made L’effet A so effective and reliable for five years.
For the 100-Day Challenge, we’ll have the opportunity to bring the cohorts from Montréal, Québec City, Paris and Lausanne together virtually and benefit from the rich international experience of the Québec and European leaders who will be taking part. In addition to the virtual workshops, smaller group discussions will be scheduled via video conference to foster mutual support and networking. As for the third workshop, we plan to do in person and in full compliance with the regulations that will be in place in December 2020.
Greater diversity. For the greater good.We are living at a time of great social change which is pushing organizations to rethink their ways of doing things. In this context, the leaders of big and small companies alike all share a common belief: diversity has become a determining factor to help us take on the challenges of the 21st century.
Diversity expresses itself in myriad ways. At L’effet A, we’ve made it our mission to accelerate the presence of women of all origins and backgrounds at every level of corporate culture. By nurturing their strengths and the distinctive approaches that each of them brings to the table, we’ll see a greater variety of leaders emerge with complementary personalities and talents. We believe that it is urgent to encourage women to adopt a leadership style that reflects who they are so that they can, in turn, bring the kind of nuance and depth that is currently lacking in many organizations.
After training more than 2,500 women managers and professionals from over a hundred companies, L’effet A is the ideal partner to support you in accelerating the presence of women in decision-making roles. We are determined to power the talent of women within your organization and to contribute to the creation of corporate cultures that are inclusive, innovative and diversified.
Thank you for your trust.

The 100-Day professional development program aims to transform mindsets and encourage new behaviours so that participants can showcase their ambition and maximize their talents for the benefit of the company as a whole. The program accelerates the development of three main skill sets:
• Confidence: Boosting self-confidence
• Risk-taking: Learning how to manage risk strategically
• Influence: Building a solid business network and developing political acumen
Objective
Learn how to communicate your ambition more clearly.
• Shed the impostor syndrome and get out of your comfort zone
• Learn how to manage risk strategically
• Refine your negotiating techniques
• Build a solid business network by exerting your influence and developing your political acumen
Who is this program for?
Women who want to act on their ambition within their company.
The only requirement: you must have at least five years of professional experience.
Powering the talent of women: an innovative program
The L’effet A professional development program contributes to the development of a culture that encourages women to thrive and enables companies to:
• Deploy the leadership potential of their employees
• Ensure better retention of high-performing employees
• Encourage employees to develop the mindset of agile and high-performing leaders
• Foster business development via the network of participants and develop the internal network of your employee-participants

A methodology that promotes lasting behavioural change.
The L’effet A professional development program is based on a unique methodology that leverages a variety of development strategies to reinforce the acquisition of new behaviours.
1 Combine self-reflection and action Weekly challenges, self-reflection exercises: to better assert their leadership, participants are
invited to adopt introspective practices that will lead to concrete action in their daily lives.
2 Find inspiration in various leadership models Being exposed to various leadership models gives participants the chance to project
themselves more easily into a leadership role and adopt a more ambitious mindset within their organization. Privileged access to the L’effet A leaders—who share their lived experiences and valuable advice—has a big impact on the behavioural transformations that participants undergo.
3 Learn with a network of professional women Whether it’s during workshops or within the tribes, the group activities foster a true spirit
of community that supports behavioural change as the program unfolds and encourages participants to push themselves further and take action.
4 Benefit from a micro-learning technique Research in neuroeducation proves that repetition of information at regular intervals
improves learning. The content of the L’effet A program is therefore divided into small parts which are repeated frequently. The content is also available on our online platform at all times for the duration of the program.
5 Take action by setting a challenge To make the program concrete and encourage participants to put their learning into action,
we ask them to identify a professional challenge that they will take on over the course of the 100 days.

A transformative experience that unfolds online and offline.
L’effet A has designed courses that easily adapt to the participant’s schedule. In the fall of 2020, the 100-Day Challenge and the Leadership Challenge will take place primarily online. They will be designed to foster the same level of excellence and development potential as the face-to-face experience.
* The third workshop will take place in person, as conditions allow.

L’effet A Corporate Program
Advantages
When you register three participants or more as part of the same cohort, you benefit from the numerous advantages of the corporate program:
1 The guidance of the L’effet A client service team to assist you before, during and after the program.
2 A launch meeting to present the program to participating employees and their manager(s) for companies with five participants or more.
3 Access to the corporate toolbox, which outlines the main stages of the program and the communication tools, including a Companion Guide and a Manager’s Guide.
4 The opportunity for your upper management to take part in the networking workshop at the end of the program.
5 A final report recapitulating your employees’ experience so that you can see their concrete evolution over the course of the 100 days.
A good learning environment fosters the integration of new skills and the transformation of behaviours. The l’effet A programs are turnkey initiatives, but there are a few ways that you can offer additional support to your participants, depending on your internal resources, such as:
• Integrating the L’effet A program into your leadership development strategies
• Naming a member of your team cohort leader for more personalized follow-up
• Personalizing the program to align with your corporate culture by inviting leaders from your organization to spend time with the participants at key moments during the program.
