The Women Leaders Program
The Women Leaders Program equips women executives with practical and innovative ideas, skills, and solutions for advancing their professional goals and the strategic development of their organization. The research-backed design of this program provides an effective framework for leadership development and teaches the skills and behaviors to advance the leadership capacity of professional women.
The program’s multidisciplinary approach draws from the latest research with sessions focused on developing a better understanding of self, identifying personal values and strengths, understanding how who you are shows up in your leadership, building healthy work cultures, and leveraging the art of communication in building executive presence. Sessions are complemented by experiential exercises, a roundtable with an experienced C-suite women leader, one-on-one peer interaction, an individual executive coaching session, and the development of an action plan for enacting change.
