SUMMARY:Unshakeable Confidence - A Leadership Immersion Program for Muslim Women⁠
DESCRIPTION:This is an invitation for women in the Muslim community to apply for a scholarship to participate in a 4-month leadership development program. The program is designed to support Muslim women wanting to cultivate greater levels of confidence and wellbeing as empowered leaders in their communities\, families and workplaces. \nThis leadership development program is being facilitated by Dr. Rachel Wheeler and Dr. Tracey Hunter – psychologists and co-founders of The Wellbeing Codes and supported by Dr. Senem Eren.

This program is aimed at shifting these schemas and tapping into more empowered aspects of the self that can support sustainable leaders who are confident in their ability to have influence in their leadership roles – whether that is with their family members at home\, or in the wider community including their spiritual practice and at work. \nThe program includes both an online live training and coaching component\, as well as a 2-day live event in Melbourne to consolidate the learnings from the online program as well as develop a sense of community and shared experience within the community. \nThe group coaching program will include fortnightly Zoom calls over 4 months – alternating between a live training and Q&A session\, as well as group coaching call on the alternate fortnight. \nWho Can Apply? \nThis leadership program is open to Muslim women who: \n\nReside in Victoria\nActively engage in the Muslim community\nAre over the age of 18\n\nHow to Apply?  \nClick on the following link to apply now. \nTo find our more visit: https://cmw.org.au/our-services/training-capacity/ ⁠or email us at admin@cmw.org\,au
