The A Effect programs are designed to assist organizations in reaching their goals for increasing gender diversity and developing their women talents. The programs offer support that enables women to unlock their full potential within the organization.

The Ambition Challenge and Leadership Challenge programs are intended for women and are structured around experience levels and career goals. Please consult the individual program pages to learn more about the target audience and program specifics.

Our team is here for you and happy to help. We’re aware of each organization’s goals, and we make sure to provide the best solution for each of our partners. Contact us at info@the-a-effect.com to discuss your needs.

The programs cover topics related to the challenges women experience in corporate settings, including self-confidence, risk-taking, and negotiation. Beyond the themes themselves, it’s the methodology of our programs that makes them unique. To find out more, we invite you to explore our approach.

For Quebec residents, the programs are recognized by the Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines agréées (CRHA). The cost of the program may also qualify as an eligible training expense under the Skills Act, depending on the organization’s annual payroll.

For non-Quebec residents: information coming soon.

It should also be noted that each participant receives a certificate of training upon completion of the program, as well as an individual progress report. As a company, you’ll also receive a detailed group report outlining program impacts (for groups of 5 or more participants).

The programs run for 100 days. Why 100 days? It’s the ideal timeframe for adopting new behaviours. And we’re not just saying this, it’s behavioural science!

All The A Effect programs require an investment of approximately 1 to 3 hours per week. This may vary depending on the events scheduled during the week. Events are recorded so that participants who are unable to attend live can view them at another time.

Our programs are delivered entirely online. This approach allows all participants to access the training, no matter where they live.

All programs of The A Effect are offered in English and in French. The Ambition Challenge is available in French under the name Défi 100 jours. The Leadership Challenge is available in French under the name Défi Leadership.

There are two distinct approaches:

• Companies with a training catalogue: The A Effect’s programs can fit seamlessly into existing programs to identify high-potential talent, strengthen leadership, or accelerate skill development.
• Companies without a training catalogue: The A Effect’s programs are a starting point for structuring talent development, often enhanced by in-house initiatives (mentorship, networking, discussions with management).

Contact our team to identify the approach best suited to your needs and goals.
