Women in Agile Leadership
This leadership workshop is focused on developing women leaders, improving organizational leadership, and shaping culture (covering both halves of our Agile Leadership Compass™). The Women in Agile Leadership workshop is available both as a public class and as a private engagement, either in person or online, with flexible scheduling options available.
This workshop provides practical agile leadership skills and strategies for women to improve their own — and their organization’s — performance. Over the course, leaders will learn and practice how to:
- Understand the importance and dynamics of agile leadership
- Recognize your own leadership patterns and biases
- Expose organizational biases and their impact on women leaders
- Explore topics unique to the experiences of women leaders
- Help grow yourself, your colleagues and the organization to improve results
A Leadership Development Workshop for Women Leaders
Agile has exploded in popularity as an effective methodology for building software. However, it is fundamentally a set of principles, a way of looking at organizations’ work and culture that is very different from what we’ve traditionally been taught. Leaders who embrace an agile mindset and apply such principles to their leadership approaches can better respond to change, inspire teams, and help their organizations grow and succeed.
Agile leaders improve shared focus, align departmental priorities, empower teams to deliver great products/services, and cultivate a healthy high-performing work environment.
As a woman leader, you know that navigating work culture and expectations require special attention. Women leaders are required to navigate double standards driven by broader cultural biases and expectations. New awareness, language, and tools to navigate this arena can help you and your colleagues improve effectiveness in any environment.
The Women in Agile Leadership workshop will give you the skills needed to successfully adopt and thrive in leadership roles. You’ll learn and practice how to:
- Increase safety, trust, and collaboration in your teams
- Employ a growth-mindset to value diversity, be open to ideas, welcome feedback, and improve yourself
- Build confidence and courage in asserting your perspectives and opinions
- Become more aware of your own biases and triggers
- Improve your strategic orientation, direction-setting, and decision-making
- Engage colleagues without over-influencing or micromanaging them
- Inspire, encourage, and empower others fostering creativity
- Deploy metrics in a health way that drives health and performance
Women in Agile Leadership Training Focus
Participants explore a comprehensive view of agile leadership. This is presented first from the leader’s personal perspective in how agility impacts their thinking and behavior, then from an organizational perspective in how they can effectively align, guide, and scale their organization’s agility. The Agile Leadership Compass provides guidance for participants both during the workshop and as an aid in their practice after completion.
The Women in Agile Leadership workshop includes all of the learning objectives outlined in the
Agility in Leadership and
Agility in Organizations workshops. However, it offers a unique focus for women leaders facilitated by women trainers.

IHDI Pricing Eligible
Agile Leadership Journey believes in equitable global pricing. Many of our leadership development programs are priced based on the Guide’s country of origin and their individual pricing plans, thus taking into account a fair local price and local currency. In those cases, the prices listed reflect the prices to be paid without other discount compensation.
Global public programs offered directly through Agile Leadership Journey, however, include prices that are adjusted for the United Nations Inequality Human Development Index (IHDI). This program qualifies for our IHDI-influenced pricing when offered directly by ALJ and this information, if applicable, would be included in the public course description.
