S.A.S.S.Y.Y. Female Empowerment
S.A.S.S.Y.Y. WOMEN is an acronym for the Whitespace offering designed to help ladies achieve Self Assured, Self Starting, Yin and Yang training. The cultural prohibitions preventing women from excelling in non-domestic roles, requires an understanding of the male and female energies found in each of us. The self awareness and communication skills developed in our program are designed to shatter the glass ceiling which continues to be constructed and supported by inhibited women. We have worked with several universities in formalised educational settings, to deliver programs designed to enhance the performance of their female students.
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” – Anais Nin
For Whitespace participants in the S.A.S.S.Y.Y. program, it is not about seeking equality but expanding the courage which contributes to the creativity and success in one’s professional life. Unlike many programs which attempt to level the business playing field and teach competition and games, we embrace the differences and inspire the passion of defined intentions, which foments independence.
If you would like Whitespace to adapt a S.A.S.S.Y.Y. program for your organisation, we would be pleased to discuss your goals?
Whitespace offers advisory sessions for both corporate groups and individual executives, who need to confront and indeed, ‘metamorphise’ into a happy and productive entity. Metamorphosis comes from the Greek, μεταμόρφωσις, to transform, transforming. This is not the typical ‘embrace change’ and ‘overcome team resistance’ to new corporate strategies, but an emotional inventory of the upsets caused by our human proclivity to maintain the homeostatic balance, in other words, stay the same.

Whitespace believes that business leaders need help to successfully ‘change often’ and we use the term ‘metamorphise’ because, like the biological transformative process from tadpole to frog or catepilllar to butterfly, executives need to address their natural emotional resistance to change and embrace their new responsibilities in order to expand their effectiveness. The transformation required from executives who need to confront the increasingly frequent corporate events of downsizing or mergers with the accompanying change of reporting lines and critical objectives is always challenging.
Whitespace combines group exercises with individual consultations in order to build consensus, as well as, understand particular feelings, which may impede a successful transition. Our methodology allows your key executives to articulate and confront their emotions, which promotes a successful transition. Many times an executive’s personal life may carry over to the workplace and tragic events at home such as divorce and death as well as, the more mundane household changes may prevent the required executive metamorphosis. The confidential and safe environment of Whitespace will mitigate the upsets and resistance, which may be unseen and hidden from senior management.
Whitespace will review and refine the key objectives for your management team. The clarity and definition of the corporate priorities is always more acceptable when delivered from an experienced, objective Whitespace professional. We would be pleased to design a bespoke program to your budgetary and time requirements.
