We can’t wait to welcome you to the “1000 Women Leaders Program” for 2023.

THE LIST - 2023

“Who are the women leaders you admire?” Jombay ran a popular vote across more than 38,000 working professionals. Based on this response, we have published a list of 75 admired women leaders from India who can inspire our participants through valuable leadership lessons. These inspirational, high achieving women have broken the glass ceiling in different fields (arts, culture, tech, business, sports etc)! We look forward to inviting some of them in our Master Classes to inspire the 1000 women participants

Key Milestones

Curriculum

Jombay’s “Lead like a Woman” construct was developed using a 3 pronged approach – leveraging 12 years of assessment data of over 150K managers, an in-depth analysis of existing academic literature, business citations and organizational research and a synthesis of these. Our goal for the curriculum was to capture the new-age development needs for modern women leaders who were also contending with age-old barriers.

Protagonist
Mindset

“The Leadership Ambition Gap (inner obstacles women must overcome) is one of the reasons for the poor representation of women in leadership positions.” (Sheryl Sandberg)

Cultivating a Protagonist Mindset enables women to overcome these imposed barriers and be the star of their show! We help participants develop this mindset by “Conquering Barriers Within” and “Honing an Executive Presence”.

Warrior
Mindset

The “Superwoman Myth” decreed women should be able to “do it all”. As a result, women often feel overwhelmed when confronted with the demands of multiple roles (Women and the Myth of Having it All – Harvard University Research) 

Cultivating a Warrior Mindset enables women to let go of the chase for perfection – making space for their own well-being, combating burnout & building resilience. We help participants develop this mindset by “Winning with Grit” & “Combating the Superwoman Syndrome”.

Maverick
Mindset

“There is a fundamental disconnect between generally accepted notions of leadership and femininity that puts women in a double bind.” (Korn Ferry Research Institute)

Cultivating a Maverick Mindset enables women to develop assertiveness to advocate for themselves, be vocal about their needs & adopt a diplomatic approach to negotiations. We help participants develop this mindset by “Steering Courageous Conversations” & “Acing Negotiations”.

Campaigner
Mindset

“Women leaders are just as ambitious as men, but at many companies they face headwinds that make it harder to advance like having their judgment questioned or being mistaken for someone junior. (McKinsey and Co.) 

Cultivating a Campaigner Mindset enables women to embrace organizational politics & deepen support systems to leverage unwritten rules of getting things done. We help participants develop this mindset by “Navigating Organizational Politics” & “Forging Alliances and Networks”

Enterprising
Mindset

“Strong leadership requires the ability to consider different POVs from people of different backgrounds, experiences & perspectives. Companies that have women directors & executive officers lead by that example.” (MIT Sloan Executive Education)

Cultivating an Enterprising Mindset enables women to look beyond managerial responsibilities to innovate, take informed risks & pioneer change while creating an environment of collaborative spirit. We help participants develop this mindset by “Kindling the Intrapreneurial Spirit” & “Nurturing High-Impact Teams”
