Let’s talk about what nobody wants to say out loud: some of the hardest people to work for, work with, or get support from as a woman… are other women.

This full-day workshop skips the feel-good platitudes for an honest, research-backed look at why women sometimes compete instead of lift — and what it costs teams, careers, and the next generation of women coming up behind us. Participants leave with concrete tools for recognizing the pattern and choosing sponsorship over competition, starting with the very next room they walk into.

For women navigating leadership, teams, or mentorship relationships — and the men who lead alongside them and want to understand what’s really happening in the room.
