About WLF
Women’s Leadership Footprint is a Coaching Practice and Leadership Development Firm that supports women in leadership through coaching and leadership training to develop their leadership capacities so that they can be more effective and impactful in their roles or spaces they occupy.
Through group and one on one coaching sessions we work with women leaders to figure out a myriad of their career and leadership journey issues and challenges as they seek to advance in their careers. We nurture their career aspirations and support them to crystalise the key and critical pieces of developing powerful and lasting legacies.
We work with women across sectors and industries i.e. women executives in corporates, women in politics, women in business, women in communities and women in the non-profit sector who are at different stages of their career, leadership and life journeys.
We deliver customised leadership development programmes such as leadership training workshops that aim to address their unique and specific challenges to enhance and galvanise their leadership dispositions. Through these programmes, women leaders learn about leadership concepts and theories that they can apply in their leadership practice. Cutting edge thought leadership, insights and perspectives are shared in a safe learning space that empowers them to tell their leadership stories for the benefit of individual learning groups. Through peer learning and sharing, women leaders develop strong bonds and networks that they leverage as robust support systems and structures that aid in the sustainance of the successes they register in their leadership practice.

Our Guiding Principles
- Women leaders almost always, need a solid support structure and sounding board to figure out their career and leadership issues in order to stay on course their leadership trajectories;
- Women leaders have untapped potential that can be capitalised on to drive business strategies and the generation of practical and sustainable solutions to societal challenges;
- Women leaders’ aspirations and ambitions should be consistently nurtured as they seek self-actualisation and meaning in their lives;
- Women leaders’ learning cycle should be continuous and most times done in a tailor made manner for maximum impact because traditional training methods may not fully satisfy their thirst for knowledge and desire to enhance their business and leadership skills;
- Established women leaders should support rising and emerging women in building a critical mass to create a ripple effect in facilitating social change and improvement of lives in communities, advancement of careers and contributing towards organisational effectiveness in business.

Our Philisophy
We are persuaded that people, especially women, succeed in life, business or workplace with the help and support of others. People who reach amazing levels of self-actualisation are usually supported by credible, trustworthy individuals who have their best interests at heart and advocate for their success. This support is usually given behind the scenes.
As a coaching and mentoring practice, we wear multiple hats of being a sounding board, cheerleader, advocate, gladiator, accountability partner for people who have a fierce desire to make a huge dent or mark in the spaces they occupy and leave behind powerful legacies.
We seek meaning and significance in all the activities we engage ourselves in to bring positive impact in the lives and careers of all the professionals that we work with.
We remain steadfast and focused in incrementally contributing towards the coaching and mentoring agenda in Africa.
