 The women leadership program program is designed with three distinct areas of focus: Personal Excellence, Interpersonal Excellence, and Leadership Excellence. And while we offer recommended journey frameworks for each level/track, the Evolve program is fully customised for each client. That means the specific topics, durations and methods for each client will vary based on your needs.

The entire program is built as a journey, with an effective and relevant blend of methodologies including workshops, group coaching, TransforMe labs, action learning projects, self learn modules, pre and post assessment, gamified simulations and more.

‘Evolve’ is not just another woman leadership program. 

TransforMe’s Evolve –  Women leadership program is built on the idea that every woman can become the best version of herself and make a positive impact on the organization.

The 3 phases of Gender Equity Maturity

Research has shown that hundreds of organizations in their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion journey show a pattern of different maturity levels. By understanding their current maturity levels, organizations can focus their energies on the right activities making their efforts successful and effective.

Based on TransforMe’s experience of a decade in the space of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), especially Women in Leadership, working with UN and Fortune 100 companies we have identified 3 phases of organizational maturity in Gender Equity.

Phase 1: The EXPLORE Stage

Phase 2: The EMERGE stage

Phase 3: The FLOURISH Stage

This survey will help you identify which phase is your organisation currently in and share recommendations for strengthening your gender equity efforts with women leadership program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Women leadership is more than holding a title. It’s the ability to influence, make decisions with authority, and drive outcomes without having to “tone down” who you are. TransforMe’s women leadership program is data-driven and backed by insights from Google and United Nations. It is designed to help participants strengthen presence, clarity, and credibility. We work on strategic communication, navigating bias, managing stakeholders, and leading teams with confidence. The focus is on empowering women leaders to operate confidently and independently instead of waiting for permission. In short, we build readiness for larger responsibility, not just presentation skills.

 One of the most common questions we hear is: why women’s leadership is important if capability already exists? The answer is access. Many women already do the work but don’t always get sponsorship, visibility, or decision-making space. TransforMe’s Evolve programme offers structured development so women are not only performing, but also being seen as key drivers of outcomes. Investing in empowering women leaders improves succession planning, retention, and culture quality. In fast-moving environments — especially for women leadership in India — this is a direct performance advantage, not a “nice to have.”

 We’re often asked why women empowerment is necessary if companies already hire talented women. The reason: subtle friction. Ideas get talked over. Assertiveness gets mislabelled. Growth stalls quietly. TransforMe addresses all of this by helping participants self-advocate, set boundaries, negotiate, and lead without apologising for ambition. This is not about changing personality; it’s about removing the drag that stops capable leaders from stepping forward. Empowering women leaders means building internal authority, external credibility, and resilience in high-pressure environments.

Career and cultural realities influence women leadership in India — pressure to not be too assertive, informal expectations at home, low access to mentors in male-dominated functions. TransforMe creates a trusted space to name these realities by using an inside-out approach that allows participants to challenge the mindtraps, biases or irrational beliefs that are holding them back. We work on boardroom presence, stakeholder alignment, and upward communication. The goal is to ensure that each participant can walk into a room, hold space, and move things forward. For organisations, this builds visible and confident leadership pipelines in India.

A lot of programmes become motivational events: one talk, zero follow-up, no manager involvement. That’s why women leadership initiatives sometimes stall. At TransforMe we focus on creating sustained behaviour shifts. Participants work on real role challenges, practise high-stakes conversations, and leave with concrete action steps. We also encourage alignment with internal stakeholders so progress is visible, not hidden. This approach provdeswhy women empowerment is important— empowering women leaders can reshape delivery, culture, and long-term business stability; not just optics.

This program has been instrumental in helping me reflect on my leadership style, improve my techniques, and build meaningful relationships with other women leaders. One session that stood out to me was Courageous Presence, where I learned valuable techniques to claim my space and confidently speak up in crowded work environments. Being part of the organizing this global program at GEP allowed me to strengthen my involvement in our company's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. It was a rewarding experience to contribute in creating an environment that supports and empowers women leaders. Overall, my journey in the Evolve program has been wonderful. I have learned so much and gained valuable insights that have positively impacted my professional growth. I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to applying what I have learned in my leadership role at GEP.
