History

Around eight years ago, I was approached to create a leadership training program specifically for women because of my unique set of skills as a leadership expert, vocal and executive coach, speaker, and singer, as well as my background in health as a physiotherapist. Drawing on these, I was able to develop the WVL masterclass specifically for women, addressing the unique challenges and issues women face in today's dynamic environments.

Based on the success of our 4-day Women, Voice, and Leadership Journey, we created the 1-Day Women, Voice & Leadership Masterclass. This condensed version draws on the core principles and impactful experiences of the original program, offering a focused and intensive opportunity for women to develop their leadership skills, harness their voices, and address unique challenges. The masterclass provides a powerful and accessible format for those seeking significant growth in a shorter timeframe.

Content

This leading-edge masterclass is for exceptional women who want to be first class communicators and better leaders. If you are courageous and willing to have an intensive, potentially even an uncomfortable, close look at yourself and you are keen to embark on a personal journey, then this challenging immersive training is for you!

Learn to master leadership communication, navigate feedback with ease, and manage emotions with finesse.

This masterclass is all about discovering your unique leadership voice and avoiding those limiting habits—both mental and physical—that hold you back.

I will introduce you to presenting and vocal-training methods and techniques that result in an integrative and transformative practice. Combined with awareness, feedback as observation, and resilience training, placed in an experiential and immersive setting, this Masterclass will support you in becoming an excellent communicator with confidence, influence, and impact.

In-house Courses

The Women, Voice & Leadership Masterclass is available both as an open course and as an in-house option. In-house courses ensure that all participants come from the same organisation.

For the in-house courses, participants need to self-nominate. They cannot be sent by someone else. Our experience has shown that this is needed so that participants can fully commit to this personal journey, which can be challenging at times.

To scope the possibilities for organising in-house courses, please contact Maike via maike.brill@zeitgeist-ct.com.

Testimonials
  • “It was an awkward, testing, giving over, working through, culminating, wondrous journey. I have recommended it to others already.”
  • “The course was unique as it focused on our own voice and pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone that really appealed to me.”
  • “This style and approach of training allows for frank, deep and open discussion about challenges uniquely faced by women in the workplace, particularly male-dominated ones, without fear of judgement or reprisal based on misunderstanding. The training has been invaluable in assisting with core development and self-empowerment aspects of leadership and self-development.”
  • “A brilliant course unlike any other leadership courses I have attended.”
  • “This course has assisted me not only professionally, but also on a deep personal level that is of benefit to many aspects in my life. I would highly recommend this course to others.”
  • “I personally want to thank Maike and (organisation's name removed) for organising this training, it really has impacted me and my life in a way I can't explain, so thank you.”
