Applications are now open for the 2025 WomenLift Health Africa Signature Leadership Journey Program

Application Deadline: October 14th, 2024

Applications are now open for the 2025 WomenLift Health Africa Signature Leadership Journey Program. The Signature Leadership Journey is a transformational learning and development experience that brings together mid to senior career women working across multiple disciplines, fields, and sectors in health. This Journey is aimed at creating the mindset shift needed to solve complex challenges that we are facing in global public health today.

In this fully-funded, 12-month Leadership Journey, WomenLift Health provides mid-career women the safe space to explore their authentic leadership through vulnerability and reflection, an inclusive and diverse network which fosters a strong sense of belonging, tools and strategies for enhancing their voice, presence, and influence – all the while being supported by a powerful group of peers, mentors, and coaches.

The program imparts contextualized tools and frameworks to address the individual, organizational, and societal challenges that women leaders in public and global health face today. 

Participants engage in two in-person experiential learning residencies (Immersion and Lift-Off), in addition to virtual learning touchpoints, virtual group mentoring, virtual one-on-one coaching sessions, and importantly, a self-directed leadership project – all the while being supported by their Leadership Journey community and experts in the health sector.
