Ignite your Spark, Women's Leadership Program

ELGL, in partnership with Raftelis, presented our first ever Women’s Leadership Cohort! In this program we aimed to help women at all levels of local government ignite their leadership spark. Whether you were just starting your career or if you have been in local government for years. This cohort opportunity focused on leadership, development of core management skills, and learning how to be your own greatest advocate! This was a 3-month cohort focused on developing women to hone and “spark” their leadership potential within local government. Below are the themes that were explored in this cohort and led every two weeks by various practitioners and consulting experts within the local government profession. ✨Authentic Leadership ✨Bias in the workplace ✨Self-advocacy and negotiation ✨Imposter Syndrome ✨(The myth of) work-life balance ✨Mentorship & Networking
