Designing Workshops that Transform: How Women Impact Business Builds Leadership Solutions for the Future

Workshops

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, one thing is clear: organizations that invest in leadership development outperform those that don’t. According to a recent LinkedIn Learning report (2024), 83% of organizations say leadership development at all levels is crucial to achieving business goals, yet only 41% believe their current programs are effective.

At Women Impact Business, we’re on a mission to change that. We specialize in custom workshop design and facilitation services that help organizations unlock the full potential of their talent, with a focus on inclusivity, innovation, and real-world impact.

Spotlight: The AI + Leadership Cohort

One of our signature engagements was building and facilitating a 12-month AI + Leadership cohort program for a F500 company’s high-potential technology leaders across the globe.

  • The program combined Coursera-based AI certifications, virtual facilitated workshops, and leadership deliverables that applied learning directly to business challenges.
  • Participants represented teams across North America, Europe, and Asia, creating a global network of AI-savvy future leaders equipped to drive their corporate innovation agenda.
  • The result? Participants gain AI certifications and increase their confidence in applying AI concepts to leadership decisions.  The program is designed to positively impact their ability to collaborate across functions.

Why Leadership Workshops Matter — Now More Than Ever

  • Companies that offer leadership training are 2.4 times more likely to hit their performance targets (DDI Global Leadership Forecast 2023).
  • Inclusive leadership workshops can boost team innovation by up to 29%, according to Deloitte (2020).
  • In an age of AI, automation, and hybrid work, 72% of executives say their top challenge is preparing leaders for future-ready skills (Gartner, 2024).

Workshops aren’t just about skill-building — they are about transforming culture, enhancing engagement, and driving sustainable growth.
