The Marsha Project
Women Empowering Women
Empowering women leaders isn't just about fairness - it's about maximizing potential and driving innovation.
Named after Marsha P. Johnson, an African-American transgender woman, The Marsha Project embodies the spirit of giving voice and belief to those who need it most. Marsha P. Johnson, a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, exemplifies resilience, courage, and the power of authenticity.
The Marsha Project seeks to empower women to lead with confidence and authenticity, drawing inspiration from Marsha's legacy of advocacy and empowerment.
Programme Overview
The Marsha Project is a transformative programme designed to empower women to lead with confidence and authenticity. At The Personal Growth Collective, we believe that how you feel, what you think and the actions you take shape your reality. We understand that the energy you give out yields significant returns and by focusing on wellbeing, fulfillment, and intentional effort, you can create a life and career you love.
Whether conducted face-to-face or virtually, this project is tailored to address the unique challenges women face in both professional and personal spheres, fostering a supportive environment for growth, development, and self-discovery.
Programme Design
Tailored Approach: Prior to the project launch, participants undergo individual sessions to customize the project to their specific needs and aspirations. This ensures that each participant receives personalized support and guidance throughout their journey.
Positive Psychology and Wellbeing: The Marsha Project integrates principles of positive psychology and wellbeing practices to promote resilience, self-confidence, and overall mental and emotional wellness.
1-2-1 Coaching: Participants receive dedicated 1-2-1 coaching to support their individual development plans, providing personalized guidance and accountability throughout the programme.
Self-Discovery in Good Company: The project creates a supportive environment where participants can explore their strengths, values, and leadership potential alongside like-minded women, fostering mutual support and encouragement.
360 Feedback: Participants receive comprehensive 360-degree feedback, offering valuable insights into their strengths, areas for growth, and leadership potential. The themes are incorporated into the programme design to ensure individual learning needs are met.
Optional Cultural Assessment: As an optional component, our coaches collaborate with project sponsors and HR teams to conduct a cultural assessment, identifying areas for organizational change and advancement to achieve gender equality.

Drives Innovation: Organisations that prioritize gender diversity within their leadership teams not only enhance their market competitiveness but also see tangible improvements in their innovation capabilities Companies with more diverse management teams reported a 19% higher revenue due to innovation.
Improves Decision Making: Inclusive teams make better business decisions up to 87% of the time. Teams with greater gender diversity are 60% more likely to make decisions that lead to positive outcomes.
Enhances Talent Attraction: Demonstrating a commitment to female talent development can attract a broader range of candidates with 67% of job seekers consider workplace diversity an important factor when considering employment offers.
