Women of Myanmar (WoM) is an initiative founded by an energetic multicultural group of experts, on the job wherever people and organizations are in need of creativity, innovation and change. Working on the edge of intellect and intuition, WoM takes on serious challenges and answers with results.
WoM's founders are experienced professionals with different backgrounds; garment industry, business development, international cooperation, education and human development field. A perfect combination to offer great new programs on business/human development, creative leadership and empowerment.
WoM's concept and way of working has a proven track record not only in developing countries like Myanmar but also the countries within the European Union.
WoM strongly believes that women have a major role in an emerging market. Education/vocational training is an important ingredient for development. Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship* are ways to enable Myanmar women to profit from the upcoming success of a developing country.
In the power of the collective, WoM wants to work conform the principle "pass it on". "Knowlegde is only interesting if you are able to share it". Part of WoM's offer is based on this principle. It develops a program in which it trains a group of potential leaders that will pass on the learned knowlegde to 10 people within the organization. By pushing people to look outside their comfort zone, WoM changes followers into leaders.
WoM develops applied training programs. In order to learn new skills, perspectives and behavior, WoM believes it is necessary to work with the actual, relevant and emerging business and personal situation. It links theory and skills to the actual practice in order to to realize immediate change. The training sessions are highly practical and result-oriented, every new concept introduced will be explored through practical exercise.
