Bringing to life the opportunities and possibilities that are open to women when they step into to their power.

Unlike traditional women’s development programmes, IgniteHer starts with the individual woman, her needs, and a plan for her specific development. We then understand and connect that to your organisation’s current and future talent needs.

The IgniteHer Movement is built on the premise that men have an equally important role to play in creating a diverse and inclusive organisation and actively includes them as participants, panellists, and subject matter experts.

IgniteHer 4C Model

The programmes are based on the IgniteHer 4C Model, addressing Context, Confidence, Connection and Care. This model underlies all the elements of the programmes, including the assessments (pre and post the programme) which have been designed to measure impact.

Context :

Working with your context through Self-awareness, Framing and Navigating

Confidence:

Owning your space through building Presence, Capability and Engaging.

Connection:

Building relationships intentionally through your Tribe, Sponsorship and Collaboration

Care:

Caring for self and others by focusing on Energising, Enabling and Resilience.

Lorraine Mpela, Teal Lead Collections, AVAF Early Collections, Absa

“This has been such a rewarding experience and my personal discovery has been nothing short of refreshing. The course exceeded my expectations! The structure and tone of all the sessions promoted free thinking and as it was a “psychologically safe” environment.”

Warda Moerat, Growth Manager, FNB Cash Investments

“Inge was an essential thought and execution partner for our CFO South Africa women’s programme. Her exceptional domain expertise, hands on experience and deeply committed approach to helping women (and men!) navigate work and leadership helped us deliver world class experiences to South Africa’s finance elite. If you’re looking to step change your understanding of how women lead and drive organisational performance, I would strongly encourage you to seek out Inge’s wise counsel.”

Graham Fehrsen, Founder and CEO of Novo

“Self Enriching. You discover yourself and you learn so much. It is jaw dropping every time. Extremely good program. It is beneficial to every employee to bring their best self to the team, and to understand the dynamics of the boardroom and play to win”
