Corporate Learning Series
embrace diversity, celebrate authenticity, find common purpose and create inclusive organizations
The WIN Corporate Learning Series is a platform for leaders and organizations committed to creating conscious business, innovating, developing inclusive practises and focusing on women in leadership. Together we explore what the larger trends and changes in technology, politics and gender mean for companies and individuals. How can we overcome hurdles that prevent us from being ourselves, looking within, speaking out and stepping up?
Corporate Learning Meetings (previously called CNG Meetings) have run since 2002. Each meeting, now online, is hosted by a partner organization and includes a company case presentation or panel discussion, practical workshop and facilitated networking. These meetings provide invaluable opportunities to benchmark best practices, exchange ideas and information with other leading organizations, promote team work and network mindfully.
WIN is a leading learning organization with 20 years’ experience in creating, designing, curating and running high quality programmes on diversity, inclusion, women leadership, authenticity and conscious business. This series forms part of the overall WIN vision to accelerate the development and growth of global, authentic and feminine leadership, and to ensure that businesses flourish and people thrive. Each year, we host four half-day meetings as well as the full-day Corporate Diversity & Inclusion Forum.
Topics covered in the sessions range from attracting, retaining, developing and promoting female leaders, building deeper self-awareness for better leadership, to creating a culture of collaboration. The sessions also deal with new business trends, diversity of thinking, innovation and technology, culture, and running successful and creative business networks. WIN's trademark focus on beauty and authenticity shines through in all that we do and be assured, you will come away connected to your fellow participants, new ideas and yourself. This network of like-minded organizations creates real business benefits for all of its member organizations and individual participants alike. WIN co-creates the Corporate Learning Series with the world-class organizations we partner with.
