Women’s Leadership Training

African conservation is suffering from a profound imbalance in its leadership. While we strive to protect the diversity of the environment, the diversity in conservation teams has been overlooked. Diverse teams are more productive, collaborative, resilient, and innovative, but women are routinely underrepresented in decision-making roles. To help address this imbalance, the Pathways Kenya 2020 Training will focus on helping African women conservation leaders strengthen their leadership skillsets to both achieve their goals and achieve greater conservation outcomes across Africa. From February 14-16, 2020, The Pride Lion Alliance and The Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources at Colorado State University will offer a 3-day training workshop at the Brackenhurst Conference and Training Center in Limuru, Kenya to a cohort of women conservationists aimed at helping them develop their leadership skills.  The training will offer customized skill building opportunities such as leadership identity development, mentorship development, negotiation and conflict resolution, visibility raising, and creating a peer network of women conservation leaders to support one another in achieving greater conservation impact.
