A few months ago, WFC conducted a survey to help us learn more about our community - specifically what barriers womxn face that hinder ongoing growth, both personally and professionally. The survey was phase one of a more extensive study to create a feedback loop with our community and inform the development of future programming starting in 2025.
A few key learnings include:
Our Community faces significant challenges, with burnout at work and health issues being the most common concerns.
When seeking support, respondents prioritize health and wellness, personal growth, and leadership skills. They are also strongly interested in mentorship and communication skills.
Interestingly, 40% of respondents have already engaged in coaching programs, reflecting a belief in their benefits. However, practical barriers are the biggest obstacles for those who have not yet participated: 44% cite time constraints and 40% report financial limitations.
These are the constraints that WFC is dedicated to breaking down through our programs, empowering our community to overcome challenges and thrive.
What’s next? Phase 2 of our study involves 1:1 listening sessions. We want to deepen our initial findings through hearing personal stories and exploring how coaching may help address these challenges. Survey participants who indicated an interest will receive a personal note from our team to schedule time to chat. If this is your first time participating in the study, we want to hear from you! If this is a topic of interest and you’re curious about our future programs, please reach out and we’ll schedule some time.
