Sessions on building leadership capabilities, career intentionality, long-term career planning

t’s been an action-packed start to the year, and we at MarchingSheep are energized by the journey we’re on. As we procced with the journey with incredible women at a leading pharmaceutical company, focusing on hashtagleadership capabilities, hashtagcareerintentionality, and long-term hashtagcareerplanning, we’ve witnessed some incredible transformations.

What stood out was how many participants initially felt they didn’t need such a program. But as we delved deeper, something powerful emerged – the recognition of hashtagselfimposed hashtagconstraints. These are the hashtaginvisiblebarriers we unknowingly create, visible to others but hidden from ourselves, that hold us back from striving for what we truly want and are capable of achieving.

The journey wasn’t about hashtaggender—it was about hashtagselfawareness. The realization that addressing these constraints opens doors to limitless possibilities was transformative.

This experience reaffirmed that intentionality and belief in oneself are the real game-changers in career growth. Here’s to breaking barriers and achieving dreams!

Co-Creating a Transformative DEI Strategy

Co-creating a hashtagDEIstrategy can be one of the most satisfying and meaningful experiences and thank you Kunal S. for leading this session with the leaders of the automotive client yesterday. Helping them hashtagchallenge status quo, their own thoughts, approach the hashtagdiagnotics findings with an hashtagopenmind without shooting the messenger, taking the opportunity to hashtagpauseandreflect on thought provoking questions, and finally prioritise areas to focus on for the next 2 years, what a lovely day!

It is indeed a very encouraging January ☺️

Session with the people managers

More and more organizations are realising that the real protagonists in their journey of #inclusion are the #peoplemanagers. Employees experience organisations through their managers and hence building #awareness #newhabits around #inclusivebehaviours and #inclusivelanguage have been an area of focus for many organisations in 2024 and will continue to be so in 2025.

We concluded a session with the people managers of a leading real estate company in Bangalore yesterday. From reflective activities, to challenging probing questions, to AI based role plays to art for expression, it was a meaningful day. Being able to #makeadifference by addressing practical questions like, where do we get the right diverse talent pool? How do we set role expectations right? How do we break through cultural nuances? Candid discussions on so many assumptions and stereotypes created a for a very safe and open environment.

Women Leadership Session

I have been conducting #leadership sessions and journeys for women for over 11 years now. From batches at FMCG companies, to healthcare, GCCs, financial sector, manufacturing and infrastructure setups, automotive, just about every sector. Every batch and every individual participant is special and unique. Their journey, how they view success, their challenges, their approach.

Over the years, I have also seen a significant shift in the mindset of participants, irrespective of industry. They are more aware about what they want, more vocal, more confident. However, sadly I do not see the same shift, or lets say shift at the same pace in their Managers and Leaders, who still continue to operate from a place of #assumptions and #biases. Often, they have trouble dealing with strong women with clarity of thought and no hesitation to speak up, labelling them as aggressive or too forward.

The second challenge I have seen is capability of HR teams on ground to handle tough conversations to drive a #cultureofinclusion and handle#microaggressions. So if we truly want the move to move on women inclusion across functions and levels, we need to take a holistic approach, and complement #womenLeadershipJourneys with #Managerialdevelopment and #DEIcapabilitybuilding for HR teams.

The smiles on faces of participants at an infrastructure client speaks volumes when inclusion initiatives are driven holistically!

Leadership Session

Our Workplaces have evolved significantly and today we are working more and more with a #multiculturalworkforce. Team members are from different nationalities, cultures, ethnicities and these intersect with other dimensions of #diversity like #gender #generation #sexualorientation #disability and so many others. We are delighted that organisations have started taking cognizance of #ethnicdiversity and #inclusion. We recently concluded two session for leadership teams of a leading global FMCG company at their Singapore and Dubai offices. Great participation, unique perspectives, candid shares and reflections.
