Women Rising logoWomen Rising by BenchStrength Coaching® is an accelerator for female talent. This signature program has grown from 50 participants in 2019 to over 1500 at the end of 2023. Several top 100 companies are leveraging this program to fortify their talent pipeline and have adopted it as part of their ongoing talent development offerings.    

The company founders, three successful businesswomen, designed this program specifically to prepare aspiring women for greater success. They, along with a team of certified coaches, lead various sessions of each program. Participants explore their personal and current leadership challenges in guided discussions with experienced leaders.  

We provide a safe environment to discover beliefs and practice new behaviors to enhance professional effectiveness. Every participant works with a mentor-coach to develop deeper self-awareness, and a clearer understanding of their interpersonal skills and leadership style. The program culminates with an individual development plan based on insights from the program.

We help companies: 

  • Address the “broken rung” by encouraging women to enter into leadership roles,
  • Develop the skills of existing leaders and help them seek sponsorship, and 
  • Increase the size of the leadership candidate pool.

I got so much more than I thought I would out of the Women Rising® Program workshops. I received such valuable insight into what motivates our behavior, how we think about change and decision making.

As a life-long self-development learner I’ve attended many workshops and seminars and the Women Rising® Program has been an excellent investment. It is expanding on so much knowledge already known.

I truly appreciate the culture of the Women Rising® Program workshops. I can be myself. I can participate and know that it is a safe space. I’ve gained so much more self-awareness by participating in this program.

I developed better self-awareness and shifted to a more empowering and compassionate attitude. I benefited greatly from the perspectives and insights that came from the coach’s decades of experience as a leader.
