Programmes

Avivah and her consultancy 20-first have developed a wide range of workshops and programmes for both companies and individuals based on her three areas of expertise: longevity, gender and cultural balance. These include a range of senior leadership sessions and digital learning programmes for managers.

For Companies

CEO AND EX-CO STRATEGIC DEBATES

A politically incorrect discussion about balancing gender and culture.

Part 1: Why Care?

Do we care about balance? Why or why not, how much, how urgently? How do we define it? Are we skilled at selling our ‘why’ to both believers and sceptics?

Part 2: What's Going On?

Where does the organisation currently stand? What kind of balance are we talking about, prioritising and measuring? How did we get here, and what does success look like? What skills do we need to build to get there?

Part 3: How to Balance?

How To Balance (and how not to). What works, what doesn’t. How to make balance sustainable, strategic and engaging — inclusive of everyone, including your dominant majority.

DIGITAL LEARNING PROGRAMME: GENDER BILINGUAL SKILLS FOR MANAGERS

Middle managers are a key driver of successful change. But they are often considered an obstacle. Avivah and 20-first have integrated two decades of working with management teams across sectors, countries and cultures to develop a complete online, digital learning guide to building gender bilingual skills for managers.

  • Bias training without blame: Building on the approach we have proven resonates — stop fixing women, stop blaming men and start empowering managers.
  • Meet managers where they are: Developing skills by covering gender issues from a manager’s perspective — consolidating and responding to years of questions, reactions (and scepticism).
  • Immersive, dynamic learning: Modules are highly interactive, built with a carefully balanced combination of research, videos and games. All underpinned by data sourced from reputable studies.
  • Six 30-minute modules: can be deployed to suit your pacing and blended with other channels and/or
    training plans.

For Individuals

The Midlife ReThink

A fresh roadmap for navigating longer lives and careers. This workshop is designed to give participants new tools, frameworks and insights to help plan and navigate their next chapter in three simple, transformative online sessions, exploring:

  • How the new longevity changes the traditional career cycle
  • Why careers are moving from 30-year sprints to 60-year marathons
  • The multiple impacts and opportunities for dual-career couples and families

Session 1: Harvesting The Past (Where I’ve been)

A review of life to date, where you’ve come from, what you’ve experienced, and what you’ve learnt. The foundations you have built.

Session 2: Assessing The Present (Where I’m standing)

Where I am in life’s 4 Quarters. Who am I travelling with,  what roles/ relationships/ beliefs do I want to keep, and what do I need
to leave behind?

Session 3: Visioning The Future (Who I’m becoming)

Tomorrow’s purpose, role models and support. Clarifying the choices I need to make to move towards the future I want.
