EXECUTE YOUR DREAM CORPORATE PROGRAM
A TRANSFORMATIVE PROGRAM DELIVERED IN ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT WOMEN, & SPECIFICALLY WOMEN OF COLOR’S PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS IN LIFE AND AT WORK
The EXECUTE YOUR DREAM CORPORATE PROGRAM is designed to provide organizations with the opportunity to invest in their women and women of color employees, providing a blueprint for participants to design, and put in to action a personalized plan to achieve life goals with purpose, confidence, and power in the face of challenges and uncertainty. EXECUTE YOUR DREAM goes beyond being a training course. It’s an implementation program that transcends all fears and barriers that inevitably arise when setting aspirational goals – both business and personal – addressing how to shift mindsets and the results that can be produced as dreams are realized.
“The biggest result I got out of the program was recognizing my own mindset and inner monologue that was holding me back. Through a lot of the exercises I started to realize that my actions in the workplace were very fear-based. I was afraid to stand out, afraid to rock the boat, afraid to not have the perfect answer.”
“From a D&I perspective, as we think about the sense of belonging that we’re trying to create, we know that it’s about the whole person and the whole person feeling satisfied. Offering a program that addresses participants lives as a whole, not just their work is key to the success of our goals.”
“One woman got her dream job in the organization and credits the confidence to declare what that might look like and the manifestation of it through being in this program. A lot of people are tying the things that have achieved in the past four to six weeks back to the program. It's great to say that somebody got their dream job, but it's also great to say that somebody shared something that they’d never shared before.”

“I’ve been in other developmental programs, but they’ve tended to focus on your professional journey. When I came into this program, I thought that it would be more like that. But it ended touching every part of my life, and I felt like it accelerated a lot of things personally for me that I otherwise would not have prioritized thinking about, or put significant effort towards.”
“What I loved about this program was that I was able to examine my life and discover what things were positive and what things needed to change, and then take the necessary steps to bring that change. I am the key to my success therefore having a work/life balance is important to me so I can continue to show up and bring my best self to work and to my personal life. Despite the challenging times, I am now operating from a place of joy and peace, not fear.”

“Addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, many employees are struggling to do their jobs feeling like they’re ‘always on’ now that the boundaries between work and home have blurred, or worried about their family’s health and finances, or burnt out. Women in particular have been negatively impacted —especially women of color. The pandemic has intensified challenges that women already faced. Working mothers have always worked a “double shift”. Now the supports that made this possible—including school and childcare—have been upended. Meanwhile, Black women already faced more barriers to advancement than most other employees. Today they’re also coping with the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the Black community and the emotional toll of repeated instances of racial violence falls heavily on their shoulders.
As a result of these dynamics, more than one in four women are contemplating what many would have considered unthinkable just six months ago: downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce completely. This is an emergency for corporate America. Companies risk losing women in leadership—and future women leaders—and unwinding years of painstaking progress toward gender diversity.
But the crisis also represents an opportunity. If companies make significant investments in building a more flexible and empathetic workplace—and there are signs that this is starting to happen—they can retain the employees most affected by today’s crises and nurture a culture in which women have equal opportunity to achieve their potential over the long term.” – Women in the Workplace 2020’ McKinsey Report
WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
“I cannot begin to tell you the excitement that came from the lessons in Module 1. I could not contain my excitement, my laughter, how much I wanted to hug, squeeze and thank you for this program and your knowledge. How I wanted to show the program to people who too could benefit from it. Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH once again, an absolute star has produced one of the best programs I have ever come across."
“Your course gave me the tools to close the gap on the goals (and actions) needed to live my dream life. I have learned how to manage my negative self-talk and to manage my fear – because you, Shirley have the tools for that! I feel stronger yet at the same time kinder to myself because of the lessons learned in the modules. The weekly accountability calls not only provided much needed feedback on how to overcome my hurdles, but they also plugged me into a community of people who provide moral support.”
