Coming Into Your Own is a personal leadership development programme for women who are interested in engaging in a process of reflection, exploration and regeneration.

Many women find that in the process of striving to succeed at work they have developed only part of who they are while leaving vital aspects of themselves behind. In the midst of substantial achievement women often report feeling empty, burned out or invisible. Over the past 20 years we have found ways to help women access their reservoir of presence and to bring forward a fuller expression of themselves. We guide women in the journey towards mastering the relationship between inner dynamics and work/life challenges.

Our approach deliberately works with the whole individual – the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual dimensions of each woman – to encourage the deeper introspection that we think is critical for our time. We combine the attention of one-on-one relationship with small group work and the transforming power of the circle.

We will focus on each woman’s individual journey, uncovering how she has navigated her life, and what her struggles and successes have been. We will work together to identify current and emerging challenges, and support each woman in her aspirations and development. It is our hope that this work will contribute to addressing the fragmentation in the world, the barrenness in many of our workplaces, and the urge to live in a way that responds to the deep stresses of this era.

The design, experimental and research phases of these programmes were funded by the Fetzer Institute (USA), and the remarkable results in the participants’ lives have been tracked over five years. The collective practices used to uncover a deeper sense of purpose, and to initiate the next phase of life or work, have grown out of the dialogic and four quarter practices used in much of Dialogos’ and The Ashland Institute’s work.

The faculty of this session have been leading innovative and successful women’s programmes for the past 10 years. Examples of organisations that have sent participants to the CIYO include Hewlett-Packard, BP, the World Bank Group, United Way, Shell, Intel, Boeing, Anglo American, BT and the Metropolitan Police. Many women have also chosen to attend as individuals. With a maximum of 16 participants and 4 faculty, all participants benefit from a good amount of individual attention.
