It is widely believed there are not enough women in positions of leadership and influence. For a multitude of reasons too few women take their place in leadership roles. Most organizations are not designed to be environments where women can thrive, be balanced and take care of their families. Charter Oak’s Women UpFront programs help women to develop skills to navigate the journey toward assuming more influence and taking their rightful leadership place. We gather women in roundtables so they may support one another to achieve their goals and deal with complex leadership challenges. In addition, we coach women on an individual level to help them bring forth their best life! Further, we facilitate Sisterhood Retreats and Circles to explore how sisters support one another to reach greater levels of fulfillment. Women UpFront is always looking for creative way to inspire audiences and offer a unique blend of entertainment and training in a methodology called Entrainment.

Sisterhood Retreats and Circles
Women Upfront is interested in women. Where there are women, there are sisters. Either by birth or chosen, sisterhood is a powerful claim to stand with and for one another. Women Upfront’s Sisterhood Retreats and Circles offers opportunities to focus on exploring the power of sisterhood, the difficulty being in sister relationships, how we often unconsciously betray and sabotage our sisters, and refining our skills to embrace sister relationships which powerfully impact and heal our own souls and broader society. These retreats and circles are based on adult-learning theories that are highly interactive and experiential.
