Mankato YWCA Elizabeth Kearney Women’s Leadership Program

Elizabeth Kearney Women’s Leadership is a gender specific, strengths-based leadership program.

The program takes a cohort of women through 10-months of professional and personal leadership development.

Women identify their individual strengths, build skills, learn about community and civic engagement, network, and leave prepared to address common leadership challenges facing women.

Elizabeth Kearney Women’s Leadership is held once per month from September through June.

Each session includes leadership presentations/workshops and small group discussions and covers various leadership topics, such as: strengths-based leadership, values and ethics, managing conflict, and imposter syndrome.

The program addresses the gender and racial bias facing women in leadership. Participants identify their strengths, enhance their leadership skills, connect with other women leaders in the community, and  leave prepared to address the unique leadership challenges facing women.

Women in leadership- especially women of color- experience unique challenges, including gender and racial bias.

Although leadership is about more than a title, women’s underrepresentation in business, government, and institutional leadership roles is a sign of a larger issue.

YWCA Mankato created this program to address the gender leadership gap and further its mission to ELIMINATE RACISM and EMPOWER WOMEN.
