Client: Sonia Ahmadi, CEO and Founder of Women for Change
Challenge: Women for Change, a non-profit organization led by Sonia Ahmadi, is dedicated to empowering women leaders and advocates for social change. However, the participants in their leadership program were often struggling with overthinking, overwhelm, and a lack of mental clarity. These challenges were hindering their ability to take decisive actions, affecting both their personal and professional growth.
Solution: Sonia partnered with Elizabeth and Sturdy Coaching to design and facilitate a series of workshops aimed at addressing these challenges. The workshop format was crafted to be both practical and transformative, offering participants the tools and strategies they needed to move past their mental barriers and gain the clarity and courage necessary for effective leadership.
Implementation: Elizabeth's workshops focused on key areas such as mental fitness, self-awareness, and action planning. Through a combination of guided exercises, reflective practices, and group discussions, participants were encouraged to explore their internal obstacles, develop new perspectives, and create actionable steps toward their goals. Elizabeth’s facilitation style was intentionally supportive and empowering, ensuring that each participant felt safe to engage deeply and authentically.
Results: The impact of the workshops was profound. Participants reported significant increases in self-awareness, confidence, and their ability to prioritize and take action. The practical tools and strategies they learned enabled them to break free from the cycle of overthinking and overwhelm. They left the workshops not only with a clearer sense of purpose but also with actionable steps they could immediately implement to achieve their goals.
“Working with Elizabeth has been amazing. The workshop’s format is incredibly effective, offering practical tools and strategies that have helped participants move past overthinking and overwhelm, gaining mental clarity and courage instead. Her facilitation style is both empowering and supportive, creating a safe space for growth and self-discovery. The value her workshops provide is immense – participants leave with increased self-awareness, confidence, and actionable steps towards their goals. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Sturdy Coaching to anyone who wants to invest in themselves.”— Sonia Ahmadi, CEO and Founder of Women for Change
