Lilly Thérèse Doringer
Senior Manager at Deloitte Sweden
This program has helped me understand how to use my strengths to move from being a "do-er" to become more of an enabler of others. Actually, this is the best approach that I have ever experienced.
After attending this course, I have realized I was too self-critical and didn't have much compassion towards myself. This is something I am going to unlearn going forward and focus on loving myself more and thinking about myself first.
I have never had the ambition to become a leader. During the program I learned that I am a leader. I have started to reflect much more about this. It has definitely helped me.
Mette Andreassen, Senior Manager at Deloitte Denmark: To follow your program through several months has been an absolutely incredible journey for me in my personal development at Deloitte.
Our individual sessions in combination of our classroom sessions has giving me the ability of self insight and self reflection with the best possible fundament for my continuous development on strengths and opportunities to do even better as a authentic leader and colleague.

Lilly Thérèse Doringer, Senior Manager at Deloitte Sweden: We often strive after perfection, seeking competition and assume certain behavior and traits are just “normal”. But what is actually “normal”, especially in regard to leadership? If you strive after:
-
Challenging the “normal” and want to understand how society has changed regarding leadership.
-
Understanding your strength.
-
Wanting to experience a new mindset.
-
Enhancing your skills of being your authentic self.
-
Balance your private and work-life.

Estefania Montano, Manager at Deloitte Sweden: It is a fantastic leadership program that help you capitalize on your own ideas and personalize your own growth as an individual and leader. I loved that this program is designed for a group of female leaders but at the same time enable individual reflection and development. During the individual coaching sessions and masterclasses Charlotte was able to enable a safe environment where we could share, learn, and feel empowered. Finding the pieces in order to see beyond conventional norms and develop our authentic leadership style. Identify possible obstacles that we face as women in organizations, which we deep down might be aware of, but often prefers to ignore.
The conversations with my mentor has been both related to the subject of this program and other work-related discussions. It has been very helpful, and my mentor has given me some tip & tricks to understand my situation better and what I need to do more of in the future.
After attending this course, I have realized I was too self-critical and didn't have much compassion towards myself. This is something I am going to unlearn going forward and focus on loving myself more and thinking about myself first.
I was aware of the barriers and their existence but was not aware about the extent of those barriers. So, it was helpful to know and understand how much more work is required from each of us (women) to overcome those barriers.
