FLOURISH TOKYO 2014
Flourish is a pioneering leadership journey for female leaders. It is a truly transformational 6-month experiential journey of self-discovery and personal action. Combining leadership development and business skills with well being, resilience and self mastery, we enable participants to flourish in all aspects of life leading to individual empowerment and sustainable change.
Aim
Flourish is more than a personal development program; it’s a ‘whole self program’. Flourish digs deep to help you to discover who you really are and will enable you to look at what makes you special, how you can utilise your strengths and be honest about your weaknesses. Flourish is about how you relate to and have an influence on others in all elements of your life.
Flourish goes beyond individual development, and seeks to address the organisations and cultures that we work within, in order to address issues of diversity in the workplace. Flourish will enable you to engage with your organisation and together develop commitments to change.
Flourish will allow you to:
- Develop your leadership capacity and recognise the difference you can make
- Unlock your ability to lead from the heart,
- Create the spark to drive your business and inspire commitment.
- Address the balance you must make between the pressures of work, family and leisure
- Become a part of a new generation of leaders for a new world.
- Know who you really are (and you are not be afraid of the answers)
- Address self limiting beliefs and unlock your true potential
- Develop a global network and support system
- Help you to create organisational cultures that empower and encourage all women to bring their whole self to work as leaders

Flourish Overview
Flourish – Engaging Male Leadership
To create sustainable cultural and mindset change in the organisations of our Flourish participants we have created a complimentary programme and mentor resource for senior male leaders who agree to encourage and support their female colleagues. This programme is essential for the success of Flourish and for embedding behaviour change that will cascade throughout the organisation.
The journey of the male leaders will be a parallel journey with intersections along the way. This will ensure the male participants hear the stories of the female leaders and that together they work to create sustainable change within their organization. The Male Leaders will be invited to join Flourish for Modules two and three and will be offered personal development (Coaching and Empowering Women) before module three and also mentoring and coaching from our Male Executive Mentors. Male involvement in Flourish, although not mandatory, is recommended for sustainable culture
change.
Women in Leadership is not a ‘women’s issue’, it’s a diversity issue that requires a cultural shift within organisations and the systems they operate within. Flourish for men is a parallel programme for the men within your organisations who can help to influence this change. It provides them with an opportunity to better understand diversity issues and barriers, and to the work with you to create sustainable and meaningful change in the workplace.
As a part of the Self Audit we ask participants to identify the men in their organisation who you would like to join you on this journey. Their journey will start If they sign up at this stage and they will receive a 10% discount.
Male Development Fees
The cost is USD$3,000 per person and includes coaching development, materials, access to the online resource and global contributors.
